Accelerated clustering through locality-sensitive hashing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We obtain improved running times for two algorithms for clustering data: the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and Lloyd's algorithm. The EM algorithm is a heuristic for finding a mixture of k normal distributions ... -
An accelerated K[subscript ISCC] test for high-strength steels in hydrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Accuracy control risk management for modular submarine hull construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
An accurate analytical framework for computing fault-tolerance thresholds using the [[7,1,3]] quantum code
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In studies of the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum error-correction, it is generally assumed that the noise channel at all levels of error-correction is the depolarizing channel. The effects of this assumption on the ... -
The acetolysis of the p-toluenesulfonate of 9-hydroxymethyldianthracene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Achieving quality of service guarantees on frame relay using weighted round-robin queueing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Acoustic Method for Detection Large Pneumothoraxes in the Out-of-Hospital Environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Pneumothoraxes and hemothoraxes present a medical emergency that can easily be life threatening. However, improper and unnecessarily aggressive treatment is not uncommon and poses significant risk to patients. Much of this ... -
An acoustic study of the Blake transmitter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1891) -
Acquaintances and contacts of Franklin Roosevelt : the first 86 days of 1934
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Acquisition behavior for a HDD interpolative timing recovery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Action scheduling in humanoid conversational agents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This paper presents an approach to action scheduling in lifelike humanoid agents. The action scheduler constitutes a module in the agent which links the mental processes to the physical actions of the agent. It receives ... -
An active audio attenuator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Active deformation of the Shargyn Basin, a transpressional strike-slip intersection in western Mongolia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Intraplate faulting in central Asia is a major component of the Indo-Eurasian collision. The kinematics and mechanisms of intraplate deformation are important in understanding broad active tectonic patterns, reconstructing ... -
Activity and kinematics of low mass stars
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We present an analysis of the magnetic activity, photometry and kinematics of approximately 70000 M dwarfs from the Sloan digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. This new analysis explores the spatial distribution of ... -
Ad-hoc models for two-photon detectors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Adaptation of CAIRO meeting environment toward military collaboration efforts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Adaptive channels for wireless networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Adaptive degradation of images in network applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Adaptive swing-up and balancing control of acrobot systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The field of underactuated robotics has become the core of agile mobile robotics research. Significant past effort has been put into understanding the swing-up control of the acrobot system. This thesis implements an online, ... -
Adaptive synthetic Schlieren imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Traditional schlieren photography has several important disadvantages when designing a system to image refractive index gradients including the relatively high cost of parabolic mirrors and the fact that the technique does ...
