MOOS-IvP Autonomy Tools Users Manual Release 4.2.1
(2011-07-28)
This document describes 19 MOOS-IvP autonomy tools. uHelmScope provides a run-time scoping window into the state of an active IvP Helm executing its mission. pMarineViewer is a geo-based GUI tool for rendering marine ...
An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Users Guide to the IvP Helm - Release 4.2.1
(2011-08-03)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
A hypothesis-based algorithm for planning and control in non-Gaussian belief spaces
(2011-08-27)
We consider the partially observable control problem where it is potentially necessary to perform complex information-gathering operations in order to localize state. One approach to solving these problems is to create ...
Tragedy of the routing table: An analysis of collective action amongst Internet network operators
(2011-08-06)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of social efforts to achieve collective action amongst Internet network operators in order to manage the growth of the Internet routing table. The size and rate of growth ...
Learning and disrupting invariance in visual recognition
(2011-09-10)
Learning by temporal association rules such as Foldiak's trace rule is an attractive hypothesis that explains the development of invariance in visual recognition. Consistent with these rules, several recent experiments ...
Nonparametric Sparsity and Regularization
(2011-09-26)
In this work we are interested in the problems of supervised learning and variable selection when the input-output dependence is described by a nonlinear function depending on a few variables. Our goal is to consider a ...
Automatic Input Rectification
(MIT CSAIL, 2011-10-03)
We present a novel technique, automatic input rectification, and a prototype implementation called SOAP. SOAP learns a set of constraints characterizing typical inputs that an application is highly likely to process ...
Multi-Class Learning: Simplex Coding And Relaxation Error
(2011-09-27)
We study multi-category classification in the framework of computational learning theory. We show how a relaxation approach, which is commonly used in binary classification, can be generalized to the multi-class setting. ...
Vote the OS off your Core
(2011-07-27)
Recent trends in OS research have shown evidence that there are performance benefits to running OS services on different cores than the user applications that rely on them. We quantitatively evaluate this claim in terms ...
A hierarchical model of peripheral vision
(2011-06-17)
We present a peripheral vision model inspired by the cortical architecture discovered by Hubel and Wiesel. As with existing cortical models, this model contains alternating layers of simple cells, which employ tuning ...
