Current virtual reality applications do not support people who have low vision, i.e., vision loss that falls short of complete blindness but is not correctable by glasses. We present SeeingVR, a set of 14 tools…
Gaussian Process for Any Neural Architecture: Reference Implementations This repo is a companion to the paper linked below, which shows that the Gaussian process behavior arises in wide, randomly initialized, neural networks regardless of architecture.…
The Demikernel is a library operating system architecture designed for use with kernel-bypass I/O devices. The Demikernel architecture offers a uniform system call API across kernel-bypass technologies (e.g., RDMA, DPDK) and OS functionality (e.g., a…
