The future of precise hearing could be at your fingertips. Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a technique that turns a person's fingertips into tiny microphones to better sense what ...

Course Description In this course we will explore the Fourier analysis of Boolean functions, f : {0,1} n → {0,1}. The powerful techniques from this field have application in numerous areas of computer ...

I am an Associate Professor in the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute. I think that creativity – making things and ideas! – is the best thing that humans do. So my research involves producing creative ...

... (the techniques used in modern brainwashing) are not like the medieval torture of the rack and the thumb-screw. They are subtler, more prolonged, and intended to ...

Research Goals: All scientific and social disciplines are faced with an ever-increasing demand to analyze data that are unprecedented in scale (amount of data, dimensionality and heterogeneity of ...

SEPA readings are from Pressman, Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach. They are optional (since the text is optional), but may be a useful supplement to the lectures. Other (non-SEPA) ...

Prerequisites A strong undergraduate background in linear algebra (e.g., CMU's 21-341), discrete probability (e.g., CMU's 15-359), and theory of computation (e.g., CMU's 15-251). No background in ...

I build systems that combine humans and computers to solve large-scale problems that neither can solve alone. I call this Human Computation, but others sometimes call it Crowdsourcing. Some of my past ...

The cassette deck market has changed quite a bit in the last few years. Single well decks are becoming rare and 3-head decks are now almost non-existent. The other thing is that most of the decks ...
