The Interval Programming Model for Multi-objective Decision Making
(2004-09-27)
The interval programming model (IvP) is a mathematical programmingmodel for representing and solving multi-objective optimizationproblems. The central characteristic of the model is the use ofpiecewise linearly defined ...
Learning Commonsense Categorical Knowledge in a Thread Memory System
(2004-05-18)
If we are to understand how we can build machines capable of broadpurpose learning and reasoning, we must first aim to build systemsthat can represent, acquire, and reason about the kinds of commonsenseknowledge that we ...
Building Grounded Abstractions for Artificial Intelligence Programming
(2004-06-16)
Most Artificial Intelligence (AI) work can be characterized as either ``high-level'' (e.g., logical, symbolic) or ``low-level'' (e.g., connectionist networks, behavior-based robotics). Each approach suffers from particular ...
BioJADE: A Design and Simulation Tool for Synthetic Biological Systems
(2004-05-28)
The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us with ...
How People Re-find Information When the Web Changes
(2004-06-18)
This paper investigates how people return to information in a dynamic information environment. For example, a person might want to return to Web content via a link encountered earlier on a Web page, only to learn that the ...
Determining articulator configuration in voiced stop consonants by matching time-domain patterns in pitch periods
(2005-01-28)
In this thesis I will be concerned with linking the observed speechsignal to the configuration of articulators.Due to the potentially rapid motion of the articulators, the speechsignal can be highly non-stationary. The ...
Using computational models to study texture representations in the human visual system.
(2005-02-07)
Traditionally, human texture perception has been studied using artificial textures made of random-dot patterns or abstract structured elements. At the same time, computer algorithms for the synthesis of natural textures ...
Discovering object categories in image collections
(2005-02-25)
Given a set of images containing multiple object categories,we seek to discover those categories and their image locations withoutsupervision. We achieve this using generative modelsfrom the statistical text literature: ...
Functional Differential Geometry
(2005-02-02)
Differential geometry is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easyto get the right answer with unclear and informal symbol manipulation.To address this problem we use computer programs to communicate aprecise understanding ...
Improving 802.11 Range with Forward Error Correction
(2005-02-24)
The ISO/IEC 8802-11:1999(E) specification uses a 32-bit CRC for error detection and whole-packet retransmissions for recovery. In long-distance orhigh-interference links where the probability of a bit error is high,this ...
