Spectral methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) impose a neighborhood graph on point data and compute eigenfunctions of a quadratic form generated from the graph. W...
Learning of a smooth but nonparametric probability density can be regularized using methods of Quantum Field Theory. We implement a field theoretic prior numerically, test its eff...
As an alternative to planning, an approach to highlevel agent control based on concurrent program execution is considered. A formal definition in the situation calculus of such a ...
The Marine Corps has instituted a new Mission Area Analysis (MAA) process to identify operational requirements and deficiencies. In the past, the MAA process was subjective and so...
Disk arrays are commonly designed to ensure that stored data will always be able to withstand a disk failure, but meeting this goal comes at a significant cost in performance. We ...
