RadSense: Enabling one hand and no hands interaction for sterile manipulation of medical images using Doppler radar
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)In this paper, we show how surgeons can interact with medical images using finger and hand gestures in two situations: one hand-free and no hands-free interaction. We explain how interaction with only one hand or a couple ... -
Rafigh: an edible living media installation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-02)In the face of increasing urbanization and lack of contact with nature, it is important to design systems that facilitate a re-connection or at least dialogue around our interaction with living beings. Rafigh, an empathetic ... -
RAM: Radar-based Activity Monitor
(IEEE, 2016-07-20)Activity recognition has applications in a variety of human-in-the-loop settings such as smart home health monitoring, green building energy and occupancy management, intelligent transportation, and participatory sensing. ... -
Realizing Choice: Online Safeguards for Couples Adapting to Cognitive Challenges
(USENIX, 2020-08-11)This paper investigates qualitatively what happens when couples facing a spectrum of options must arrive at consensual choices together. We conducted an observational study of couples experiencing memory concerns (one or ... -
Recent trends in machine learning for human activity recognition—A survey
(Wiley, 2018)There has been an upsurge recently in investigating machine learning techniques for Activity Recognition (AR) problems as that have been very effective in extracting and learn-ing knowledge from the activity datasets. The ... -
Reverse-Engineering Scanning Keyboards
(Springer Nature, 2012)Scanning or soft keyboards are alternatives to physical computer keyboards that allow users with motor disabilities to compose text and control the computer using a small number of input actions. In this paper, we present ... -
A Reverse-Huffman Algorithm for Text Entry Interface Evaluation
(2012-05-05)Scanning or soft keyboards display symbols to be selected when highlighted in an order. People with disabilities use these interfaces to compose text by using one or two input actions. We present a reverseHuffman algorithm ... -
Revisiting hBFT: Speculative Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Minimum Cost
(2019-02-25)FaB Paxos sets a lower bound of 5f + 1 replicas for any two-step consensus protocols tolerating f byzantine failures. Yet, hBFT promises a two-step consensus protocol with only 3f + 1 replicas. As a result, it violates ... -
The role of virtual reality in preparing graduate students for community engagement
(2020-10-22)Community engagement (CE) experiences in higher education have been shown to lead to greater student engagement and graduation rates. Students also develop learning, personal, and social competencies in the affective domain ... -
Scalable Aggregation Service for Satellite Remote Sensing Data
(Springer, Cham, 2020-09-29)With the advances of satellite remote sensing techniques, we are receiving huge amount of satellite observation data for the Earth. While the data greatly helps Earth scientists on their research, conducting data processing ... -
Scalable Collapsed Inference for High-Dimensional Topic Models
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019-06)The bigger the corpus, the more topics it can potentially support. To truly make full use of massive text corpora, a topic model inference algorithm must therefore scale efficiently in 1) documents and 2) topics, while 3) ... -
Scaling Human Activity Recognition via Deep Learning-based Domain Adaptation
(IEEE, 2018-08-23)We investigate the problem of making human activity recognition (AR) scalable-i.e., allowing AR classifiers trained in one context to be readily adapted to a different contextual domain. This is important because AR ... -
A Semantic Approach for Automating Knowledge in Policies of Cyber Insurance Services
(IEEE, 2019-07-08)With the rapid adoption of web services, the need to protect against various threats has become imperative for organizations operating in cyberspace. Organizations are increasingly opting to get financial cover in the ... -
A Semantic Approach to Automate Service Management in the Cloud
(2011-06-01)Virtualized service models are now emerging and re-defining the way information technology is delivered. Managing these services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge. In this paper, we describe an integrated ... -
Semantic Approach to Automating Management of Big Data Privacy Policies
(IEEE, 2016-12-02)Ensuring privacy of Big Data managed on the cloud is critical to ensure consumer confidence. Cloud providers publish privacy policy documents outlining the steps they take to ensure data and consumer privacy. These documents ... -
A Semantic Approach to Cloud Security and Compliance
(IEEE, 2015-06-27)Cloud services are becoming an essential part of many organizations. Cloud providers have to adhere to security and privacy policies to ensure their users' data remains confidential and secure. Though there are some ongoing ... -
A semantic-based, distance-proportional mutation for stock classification
(Elsevier, 2017-11-13)Decision making in the field of financial management is a very complicated and dynamic process. How to incorporate domain knowledge into evolutionary computing to solve financial decision-making problems has long been an ... -
A Semantically Rich Framework for Knowledge Representation of Code of Federal Regulations
Federal government agencies and organizations doing business with them have to adhere to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFRs are currently available as large text documents that are not machine processable and ... -
A Semantically Rich Knowledge Representation of PCI DSS for Cloud Services
(2018-05-24)Organizations often use Cloud based services to manage their financial transactions, like fees payment, invoice payment etc., with their end users. These services allow payment using credit cards and thus need to adhere ...
