Optimal packing of high-precision rectangles
The rectangle-packing problem consists of finding an enclosing rectangle of smallest area that can contain a given set of rectangles without overlap.

Hybrid qualitative simulation of military operations
We describe a novel simulator, SimPath, that combines qualitative reasoning, a geographic information system (GIS), and targeted probabilistic calculations to envision how adversarial battle plans can play out.

Online planning to control a packaging infeed system
In collaboration with a domain expert from the packaging industry, we developed an innovative design for a reconfigurable parallel infeed system using a matrix of interchangeable smart belts.

Ring optimal assignment of slot reservations for Cyclic TDMA Protocols
We present two algorithms to assign time slots to nodes in a TDMA network that minimize the jitter in time slot assignments or minimize the channel access latency for flows…

Sensitivity to Secondhand Smoke Exposure Predicts Future Smoking Susceptibility
This study investigated whether sensitivity to secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) contributes to smoking susceptibility.
-
Automatic detection of speaker attributes based on utterance text
We present models for detecting various attributes of a speaker based on uttered text alone.

Effective Arabic dialect classification using diverse phonotactic models
We study the effectiveness of recently developed language recognition techniques based on speech recognition models for the discrimination of Arabic dialects.
