Queueing Theory Analysis of Labor & Delivery at a Tertiary Care Center
(MIT CSAIL, 2014-12-16)
Labor and Delivery is a complex clinical service requiring the support of highly trained healthcare professionals from Obstetrics, Anesthesiology, and Neonatology and the access to a finite set of valuable resources. In ...
Supplementary Materials for "A Survey of Corpora in Computational and Cognitive Narrative Science"
(2014-12-30)
This archive contains supplementary materials for the article titled "A Survey of Corpora in Computational and Cognitive Narrative Science" by Mark A. Finlayson, published in the journal *Sprache und Datenverarbeitung*. ...
Reliability-Aware Optimization of Approximate Computational Kernels with Rely
(2014-01-09)
Emerging high-performance architectures are anticipated to contain unreliable components (e.g., ALUs) that offer low power consumption at the expense of soft errors. Some applications (such as multimedia processing, machine ...
Motion Compatibility for Indoor Localization
(2014-08-26)
Indoor localization -- a device's ability to determine its location within an extended indoor environment -- is a fundamental enabling capability for mobile context-aware applications. Many proposed applications assume ...
Alloy*: A Higher-Order Relational Constraint Solver
(2014-09-02)
The last decade has seen a dramatic growth in the use of constraint solvers as a computational mechanism, not only for analysis and synthesis of software, but also at runtime. Solvers are available for a variety of logics ...
A Coded Shared Atomic Memory Algorithm for Message Passing Architectures
(2014-08-01)
This paper considers the communication and storage costs of emulating atomic (linearizable) multi-writer multi-reader shared memory in distributed message-passing systems. The paper contains three main contributions: (1) ...
Autotuning Algorithmic Choice for Input Sensitivity
(2014-06-23)
Empirical autotuning is increasingly being used in many domains to achieve optimized performance in a variety of different execution environments. A daunting challenge faced by such autotuners is input sensitivity, where ...
Latent Case Model: A Generative Approach for Case-Based Reasoning and Prototype Classification
(2014-05-26)
We present a general framework for Bayesian case-based reasoning and prototype classification and clustering -- Latent Case Model (LCM). LCM learns the most representative prototype observations of a dataset by performing ...
Quaternionic Representation of the Riesz Pyramid for Video Magnification
(2014-04-26)
Recently, we presented a new image pyramid, called the Riesz pyramid, that uses the Riesz transform to manipulate the phase in non-oriented sub-bands of an image sequence to produce real-time motion-magnified videos. In ...
Energy-Efficient Approximate Computation in Topaz
(2014-08-19)
We present Topaz, a new task-based language for computations that execute on approximate computing platforms that may occasionally produce arbitrarily inaccurate results. The Topaz implementation maps approximate tasks ...
