Spine-based deformation with local volume preservation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-07-08)
In shape modeling applications, \emph{deformation} is the process of applying a continuous, non-affine transformation to a shape. The definition of the deformation should be independent of the representation of the shape. ...
Web-based front-end design and scientific computing for material stress simulation software
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-12-04)
A precise simulation requires a large amount of input data such as geometrical descriptions of the crystal structure, the external forces and loads, and quantitative properties of the material. Although some powerful ...
Supporting interrupted programming tasks with memory-based aids
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-11-18)
Despite its vast capacity and associative powers, the human brain does
not deal well with interruptions. Particularly in situations where
information density is high, such as during a programming task,
recovering from an ...
Parallel algorithms for generalized N-body problem in high dimensions and their applications for bayesian inference and image analysis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-11-11)
In this dissertation, we explore parallel algorithms for general N-Body problems in high dimensions, and their applications in machine learning and image analysis on distributed infrastructures.
In the first part of this ...
New tools for unsupervised learning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-08-21)
In an unsupervised learning problem, one is given an unlabelled dataset and hopes to find some hidden structure; the prototypical example is clustering similar data. Such problems often arise in machine learning and ...
Early detection of spam-related activity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-11-17)
Spam, the distribution of unsolicited bulk email, is a big security threat on the Internet. Recent studies show approximately 70-90% of the worldwide email traffic—about 70 billion messages a day—is spam. Spam consumes ...
Biological and clinical data integration and its applications in healthcare
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-08-21)
Answers to the most complex biological questions are rarely determined solely from the experimental evidence. It requires subsequent analysis of many data sources that are often heterogeneous. Most biological data repositories ...
A linguistic method for robot verification programming and control
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-10-29)
There are many competing techniques for specifying robot policies, each having advantages in different circumstances. To unify these techniques in a single framework, we use formal language as an intermediate representation ...
Towards secure web browsing on mobile devices
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-01-22)
The Web is increasingly being accessed by portable, multi-touch wireless devices. Despite the popularity of
platform-specific (native) mobile apps, a
recent study of smartphone usage shows that more people (81%) browse the ...
Analogical problem evolution in biologically inspired design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-01-08)
Biologically inspired design (BID) is a widespread and growing movement in modern design, pulled in part by the need for environmentally sustainable design and pushed partly by rapid advances in biology and the desire for ...
