XORs in the air: practical wireless network coding

by Sachin Katti, Hariharan Rahul, Wenjun Hu, Dina Katabi, Muriel Médard, Jon Crowcroft - In Proc. ACM SIGCOMM , 2006
"... This paper proposes COPE, a new architecture for wireless mesh networks. In addition to forwarding packets, routers mix (i.e., code) packets from different sources to increase the information content of each transmission. We show that intelligently mixing packets increases network throughput. Our de ..."

design is rooted in the theory of network coding. Prior work on network coding is mainly theoretical and focuses on multicast traffic. This paper aims to bridge theory with practice; it addresses the common case of unicast traffic, dynamic and potentially bursty flows, and practical issues facing

Multitask Learning,”

by Rich Caruana , Lorien Pratt , Sebastian Thrun , 1997
"... Abstract. Multitask Learning is an approach to inductive transfer that improves generalization by using the domain information contained in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning tasks in parallel while using a shared representation; what is learned for ..."

for each task can help other tasks be learned better. This paper reviews prior work on MTL, presents new evidence that MTL in backprop nets discovers task relatedness without the need of supervisory signals, and presents new results for MTL with k-nearest neighbor and kernel regression. In this paper we

BIRCH: an efficient data clustering method for very large databases

by Tian Zhang, Raghu Ramakrishnan, Miron Livny - In Proc. of the ACM SIGMOD Intl. Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD , 1996
"... Finding useful patterns in large datasets has attracted considerable interest recently, and one of the most widely st,udied problems in this area is the identification of clusters, or deusel y populated regions, in a multi-dir nensional clataset. Prior work does not adequately address the problem of ..."

Fuzzy extractors: How to generate strong keys from biometrics and other noisy data

by Yevgeniy Dodis, Rafail Ostrovsky, Leonid Reyzin, Adam Smith , 2008
"... We provide formal definitions and efficient secure techniques for • turning noisy information into keys usable for any cryptographic application, and, in particular, • reliably and securely authenticating biometric data. Our techniques apply not just to biometric information, but to any keying mater ..."
Abstract - Cited by 535 (38 self) - Add to MetaCart
, it can be used to reliably reproduce error-prone biometric inputs without incurring the security risk inherent in storing them. We define the primitives to be both formally secure and versatile, generalizing much prior work. In addition, we provide nearly optimal constructions of both primitives

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."
Abstract - Cited by 622 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
. At the least, this increases the difficulty of testing the theory in on-going organizations. It also limits the degree to which the theory can be used to diagnose jobs prior to planned change, or to evaluate the effects of work redesign activities after changes have been carried out. Activation theory. While

The dynamic behavior of a data dissemination protocol for network programming at scale

by Jonathan W. Hui, David Culler - In Proceedings of the Second International Conferences on Embedded Network Sensor Systems (SenSys
"... To support network programming, we present Deluge, a reliable data dissemination protocol for propagating large data objects from one or more source nodes to many other nodes over a multihop, wireless sensor network. Deluge builds from prior work in density-aware, epidemic maintenance protocols. Usi ..."

Graphs over Time: Densification Laws, Shrinking Diameters and Possible Explanations

by Jure Leskovec, Jon Kleinberg, Christos Faloutsos , 2005
"... How do real graphs evolve over time? What are “normal” growth patterns in social, technological, and information networks? Many studies have discovered patterns in static graphs, identifying properties in a single snapshot of a large network, or in a very small number of snapshots; these include hea ..."
Abstract - Cited by 541 (48 self) - Add to MetaCart
, requires very few parameters (like the “flammability” of nodes), and produces graphs exhibiting the full range of properties observed both in prior work and in the present study.
