Learning Structured Models for Safe Robot Control
We are motivated by the problem of building autonomous robots that are able to perform complex tasks ranging from inspection and diagnosis to manipulating soft tissue. Learning from demonstration is a useful mechanism for a…
RDMA: Provably More Powerful Communication
In recent years, a technology known as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has made its way into data centers, earning a spotlight in distributed systems research. RDMA provides the traditional send/receive communication primitives, but also…
A Short Introduction to DIMACS & DIMACS and MSR-NYC
A Short Introduction to DIMACS, Fred Roberts, DIMACS Fred Roberts gives an overview of the DIMACS center founded in 1989, after a nationwide competition, as an NSF Science and Technology Center (STC) with the theme…
Modeling User Experience in Games: Lessons Learned
How is player experience best labelled and, in turn, captured by a computational model? Which machine learning methods seem to be more appropriate for the task? What are the challenges of processing player demonstrations? In…
