As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
We consider the problem of visual categorization with minimal supervision during training. We propose a partbased model that loosely captures structural information. We represent ...
This paper proposes a new background subtraction method for detecting moving objects from a time-varied background. While background subtraction has traditionally worked well for ...
This paper describes the transformation of an everyday object into a digital musical instrument. By tracking hand movements and tilt on one of two axes, the Bubbaboard, a transfor...
We present case studies of unusual instruments that share the same excitation mechanism as that of the bowed string. The musical saw, Tibetan singing bow, glass harmonica, and bow...
