Program dynamic optimization, adaptive to runtime behavior changes, has become increasingly important for both performance and energy savings. However, most runtime optimizations o...
Our research explores the possibilities for factoring culture into user models, working towards cultural adaptivity in the semantic web. The aim is to represent the user’s positi...
Abstract—We present a silicon neuron that uses shunting inhibition (conductance-based) with a synaptic rise-time to achieve synchrony. Synaptic rise-time promotes synchrony by de...
We present an approach to activity discovery, the unsupervised identification and modeling of human actions embedded in a larger sensor stream. Activity discovery can be seen as ...
