Neurons That Confuse Mirror-Symmetric Object Views
(2010-12-31)
Neurons in inferotemporal cortex that respond similarly to many pairs of mirror-symmetric images -- for example, 45 degree and -45 degree views of the same face -- have often been reported. The phenomenon seemed to be an ...
Adapting a novel public display system for an educational context
(2010)
Universities in developing nations are viewed as gateways to global knowledge and as the source of human capital for their countries' economies (Juma, 2008). However, these universities face challenges in accessing educational ...
Large image support in digital repositories
(2010)
Many universities, libraries, government organisations and companies are implementing digital repositories to collect, preserve, administer and distribute their collections via the World Wide Web. In the process of building ...
DAS Writeback: A collaborative annotation system for proteins
(2010)
We designed and developed a Collaborative Annotation System for Proteins called DAS Writeback, which extends the Distributed Annotation System (DAS) to provide the functionalities of adding, editing and deleting annotations. ...
Gesture based interface for asynchronous video communication for deaf people in South Africa
(2010)
The preferred method of communication amongst Deaf people is that of sign language. There are problems with the video quality when using the real-time video communication available on mobile phones. The alternative is to ...
Cross-layer RaCM design for vertically integrated wireless networks
(2010)
Wireless local and metropolitan area network (WLAN/WMAN) technologies, more specifically IEEE 802.11 (or wireless fidelity, WiFi) and IEEE 802.16 (or wireless interoperability for microwave access, WiMAX), are well-suited ...
Submodular Secretary Problem and Extensions
(2010-02-01)
Online auction is an essence of many modern markets, particularly networked markets, in which information about goods, agents, and outcomes is revealed over a period of time, and the agents must make irrevocable decisions ...
An Operating System for Multicore and Clouds: Mechanisms and Implementation
(2010-02-08)
Cloud computers and multicore processors are two emerging classes of computational hardware that have the potential to provide unprecedented compute capacity to the average user. In order for the user to effectively harness ...
The Cost of Global Broadcast Using Abstract MAC Layers
(2010-02-09)
We analyze greedy algorithms for broadcasting messages throughout a multi-hop wireless network, using a slot-based model that includes message collisions without collision detection. Our algorithms are split formally into ...
Generalization and Properties of the Neural Response
(2010-11-19)
Hierarchical learning algorithms have enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years, with many new algorithms being proposed and applied to a wide range of applications. However, despite the apparent success of hierarchical ...
