Clock Synchronization on the RAX Spacecraft
The Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) is a CubeSat that was developed to study space weather in Earth׳s ionosphere. Accuracy of the onboard clock is critical for processing the radar measurements.

Tripod Fall: Concept and Experiments of a Novel Approach to Humanoid Robot Fall Damage Reduction
This paper addresses a new control strategy to reduce the damage to a humanoid robot during a fall. Instead of following the traditional approach of finding a favorable configuration with…

Forensic Prescreening System Using Coded Aperture Snapshot Spectral Imager
We present a camera system for instantaneous, non-destructive capture of spectral signatures for forensic analysis. Our system detects highly probative samples in the forensic scene mixed by the multiple target…

Unscented Transform for iVector-Based Noisy Speaker Recognition
In this paper, it is proposed to substitute the first order VTS by an unscented transform, where unlike VTS, the nonlinear function is not applied over the clean model parameters…

Automatic Characterization of Speaking Styles in Educational Videos
We use crowd-sourcing to explore speaking style dimensions in online educational videos, and then propose techniques based solely on acoustic features for automatically identifying a subset of the dimensions.

The IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, in Retrospect
We focus on SSP’s evolution and its vital relevance to the research and development communities along its path from community gathering to premier security research meeting.

DCAD: Dynamic Cell Anomaly Detection for Operational Cellular Networks
In this paper, we present Dynamic Cell Anomaly Detection (DCAD), a tool that implements an adaptive ensemble method for modeling cell behavior [5], [6].

Emotion Detection in Speech Using Deep Networks
We propose a novel staged hybrid model for emotion detection in speech. Hybrid models exploit the strength of discriminative classifiers along with the representational power of generative models.

Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Crypto Primitives Secure against Rubber Hose Attacks
We present a defense against coercion attacks using the concept of implicit learning from cognitive psychology. We use a carefully crafted computer game to plant a secret password in the participant’s brain…

ISOMER: Informative Segment Observations for Multimedia Event Recounting
This paper describes a system for multimedia event detection and recounting. The goal is to detect a high level event class in unconstrained web videos and generate event oriented summarization…

A Synthesized Algorithm for Interactive Consistency
We discovered our algorithm using an automated synthesis technique that is based on bounded model checking and QBF solving. Our synthesis technique is general and simple, and it is a…
