Semantic mapping for service robots: building and using maps for mobile manipulators in semi-structured environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-08)
Although much progress has been made in the field of robotic mapping, many challenges remain including: efficient semantic segmentation using RGB-D sensors, map representations that include complex features (structures and ...
Cross-platform testing and maintenance of web and mobile applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-13)
Modern software applications need to run on a variety of web and mobile platforms with diverse software and hardware-level features. Thus, developers of such software need to duplicate the testing and maintenance effort ...
Strategic behavior and database privacy
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07-27)
This dissertation focuses on strategic behavior and database privacy. First, we look at strategic behavior as a tool for distributed computation. We blend the perspectives of game theory and mechanism design in proposals ...
Data mining in large audio collections of dolphin signals
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07-24)
The study of dolphin cognition involves intensive research of animal vocal-
izations recorded in the field. In this dissertation I address the automated analysis
of audible dolphin communication. I propose a system called ...
Optimization and separation for structured submodular functions with constraints
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-02-24)
Various kinds of optimization problems involve nonlinear functions of binary variables that exhibit a property of diminishing marginal returns. Such a property is known as submodularity. Vast amount of work has been devoted ...
Time-optimal sampling-based motion planning for manipulators with acceleration limits
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-07)
Robot actuators have physical limitations in how fast they can change their velocity. The more accurately planning algorithms consider these limitations, the better the robot is able to perform.
Sampling-based algorithms ...
Virtualized resource management in high performance fabric clusters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-11-16)
Providing performance and isolation guarantees for applications running in virtualized
datacenter environments requires continuous management of the underlying physical
resources. For communication- and I/O-intensive ...
Locomotion synthesis in complex physically simulated environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-10-28)
Understanding and synthesizing locomotion of humans and animals will have far-reaching impacts in computer animation, robotic and biomechanics. However, due to the complexity of the neuromuscular control and physical ...
A treatment recommendation tool based on temporal data mining and an automated dynamic database to record evolving data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-28)
The thesis examines sequential mining approaches in the context of treatment recommendation for Gliblastoma (GBM) patients. GBM is the most lethal and biologically the most aggressive forms of brain tumor with median ...
Local approaches for collaborative filtering
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-05-01)
Recommendation systems are emerging as an important business application as the demand for personalized services in E-commerce increases. Collaborative filtering techniques are widely used for predicting a user's preference ...
