African Societies in Development: Critical Challenges and Successes : a Panel Discussion
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-02-20)
In celebration of Black History Month, Ivan Allen College, Office of the Dean presented a panel discussion on African Societies in Development. Moderator, Georgia A. Persons, School of Public Policy, made introductions. ...
BioPerf: A Benchmark Suite to Evaluate High-Performance Computer Architecture on Bioinformatics Applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
The exponential growth in the amount of genomic data
has spurred growing interest in large scale analysis of
genetic information. Bioinformatics applications, which
explore computational methods to allow researchers to ...
Building a Better Mousetrap
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007)
Routers in the network core are unable to maintain detailed
statistics for every packet; thus, traffic statistics are often
based on packet sampling, which reduces accuracy. Because
tracking large ("heavy-hitter") traffic ...
Sparse Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Clustering
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
Properties of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) as a clustering method are studied by relating
its formulation to other methods such as K-means clustering. We show how interpreting the objective
function of K-means ...
Value-Based Communication Preservation for Mobile Robots
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
Value-Based Communication Preservation (VBCP) is a behavior-based,
computationally efficient approach to maintaining line-of-sight RF communication
between members of robot teams in the context of other tasks. The goal ...
A Framework for Situation-Based Social Interaction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
This paper presents a theoretical framework for
computationally representing social situations in a robot. This
work is based on interdependence theory, a social psychological
theory of interaction and social situation ...
Towards Ideal Network Traffic Measurement: A Statistical Algorithmic Approach
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-10-03)
With the emergence of computer networks as one of the primary platforms of communication,
and with their adoption for an increasingly broad range of applications, there is a growing need for high-quality network traffic ...
Noise Maps for Acoustically Sensitive Navigation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
More and more robotic applications are equipping robots with microphones to improve the sensory information
available to them. However, in most applications the auditory task is very low-level, only processing data and ...
Efficient Particle Filter-Based Tracking of Multiple Interacting Targets Using an MRF-based Motion Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
We describe a multiple hypothesis particle filter
for tracking targets that will be influenced by the proximity
and/or behavior of other targets. Our contribution is to show
how a Markov random field motion prior, built ...
Reactive Speed Control System Based on Terrain Roughness Detection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
Autonomous outdoor navigation requires the ability to discriminate among different types of terrain. A non-trivial problem is to manage the robot's speed based on terrain roughness. This paper presents a speed control ...
