This talk addresses a novel multi-view stereo algorithm that takes a set of calibrated photographs and outputs a (quasi) dense set of rectangular patches covering the surfaces of an object or a

Humanity has a 50-50 chance of surviving this century, according to the eminent cosmologist Sir Martin Rees, BritainΓÇÖs Astronomer Royal.

We study the evolution of social networks that contain both friendly and unfriendly links between individual nodes.  The network is endowed with dynamics in which the sense of a link in an

In the past, the main methods for solving problems in Multiview Vision Geometry have been iterative techniques, which may suffer from falling into local minima, and trouble with convergence. 

Come see six interaction design project in the area of Health and Wellness.

Congestion games are a natural approach to model resource allocation among selfish or myopic players.

Electronic documents provide vast amounts of information, but need to be organized in a way that lets people use that information.

How many days were there in 1752?  Is there a year 0?  When was there a February 30th?  Why did an aluminum company lose $1,000,000 on New Year's Eve?  Who thinks 1900 was a leap year?  Why is

Video games are often perceived as brain-draining flights of fantasy that have no meaning beyond escapism and yet it is an industry that takes in more than $7 billion a year.

Sensor network applications have rapidly evolved as driven by new and urgent demands in environmental monitoring as well as by technology advances that enable new platforms.

This talk describes Secure Virtual Architecture (SVA), an efficient and robust approach to provide a safe execution environment for an entire commodity operating system, such as Linux and its hosted

Transfer functions, Analyzing composed systems, Q&A Buffer.

Science has evolved over the past several decades, from an empirical and theoretical approach to one that includes computational simulations and modeling.  Scientific discoveries are increasingly

In this talk, I will address the feature dimensionality reduction problem within a unified framework from three aspects: 1) Graph Embeddingand Extensions: A unified framework for general

1:00-2:00 - Control Analysis. Basic controllers, precompensation, filters. Structured as a design exercise. 2:00-2:45 - Real world applications (Various publications).

The talk will focus on two parts. The first part will be on how to design a test-bed of real ad hoc nodes moving around in an office environment.

Using a combination of techniques in optical and radio frequency domains, one can significantly improve the functionality of cameras for sensing, projectors for augmentation and RFIDs for location

A major engineering challenge in statistical machine translation systems is the efficient representation of extremely large translation rulesets.

Abstracted concurrent programs with recursion are best viewed as multi-stack automata.

Success can be a serious business vulnerability, and often a companyΓÇÖs fall from grace can be traced to decisions made in its time of greatest achievement.

Human beings are information carnivores: we are constantly collecting, labeling, and organizing data-yet our previous systems cannot keep up with the levels of information we now receive.

With microprocessors hitting the power wall, alternative architectures are receiving substantial attention.

The recent design shift towards chip multiprocessors has spawned a significant amount of research in the area of program parallelization.

Users typically want their flows to complete as quickly as possible. This makes Flow Completion Time (FCT) an important - arguably the most important - performance metric for the user.

9:00-9:45 - Introduction: Control system architecture, goals, and metrics. 9:45-10:15 - Theory Part 1: Signals, Z-Transforms

In 1983, Aldous proved that randomization can speedup local search. For example, it reduces the query complexity of local search over grid 1:n]^d from Theta (n^{d-1}) to O (n^{d/2}).

Mobile phones are not only a ubiquitous social accessory, but rapid technology advances have transformed them into feature-rich, Internet-enabled mobile PCs - a role once reserved for

Albert Einstein is a great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity, and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his

My colleague Dave Patterson and I originated the technique of letting pediatric burn patients escape into virtual reality during painful medical procedures at Harborview Burn Center in Seattle (with
