Painterly Rendering for Animation
- In SIGGRAPH 96 Conference Proceedings
, 1996
"... We present a technique for rendering animations in a painterly style. The difficulty in using existing still frame methods for animation is getting the paint to “stick ” to surfaces rather than randomly change with each frame, while still retaining a hand-crafted look. We extend the still frame meth ..."

method to animation by solving two major specific problems of previous techniques. First our method eliminates the “shower door ” effect in which an animation appears as if it were being viewed through textured glass because brush strokes stick to the viewplane not to the animating surfaces. Second, our

, 1996
"... The partial spontaneous breaking of rigid N = 2 supersymmetry implies the existence of a massless N = 1 Goldstone multiplet. In this paper we show that the spin-(1/2, 1) Maxwell multiplet can play this role. We construct its full nonlinear transformation law and find the invariant Goldstone action. ..."

. The spin-1 piece of the action turns out to be of Born-Infeld type, and the full superfield action is duality invariant. This leads us to conclude that the Goldstone multiplet can be associated with a D-brane solution of superstring theory for p = 3. In addition, we find that N = 1 chirality is preserved
Predicting Time Series with Support Vector Machines
, 1997
"... . Support Vector Machines are used for time series prediction and compared to radial basis function networks. We make use of two different cost functions for Support Vectors: training with (i) an ffl insensitive loss and (ii) Huber's robust loss function and discuss how to choose the regulariza ..."

the regularization parameters in these models. Two applications are considered: data from (a) a noisy (normal and uniform noise) Mackey Glass equation and (b) the Santa Fe competition (set D). In both cases Support Vector Machines show an excellent performance. In case (b) the Support Vector approach improves
A study of fixation for electron microscopy
, 1952
"... Microtomy for electron microscope studies has recently shown considerable progress due to a number of improvements such as the reduction of the advancing rate of the usual microtomes (1, 2), the embedding in hard plastics (3), and the introduction of glass knives (4). As a result of this progress, i ..."

3D TV: a scalable system for real-time acquisition, transmission, and autostereoscopic display of dynamic scenes
- ACM Transactions on Graphics
, 2004
"... Three-dimensional TV is expected to be the next revolution in the history of television. We implemented a 3D TV prototype system with real-time acquisition, transmission, and 3D display of dynamic scenes. We developed a distributed, scalable architecture to manage the high computation and bandwidth ..."

In this paper, we provide a detailed overview of our 3D TV system, including an examination of design choices and tradeoffs. We present the calibration and image alignment
Intrahousehold Resource Allocation in Côte d’Ivoire
- Social Norms, Separate Accounts and Consumption Choices.” National Bureau of Economic Research Working Paper 10498
"... We study resource allocation and insurance within households in Côte d’Ivoire. In Côte d’Ivoire, as in much of Africa, husbands and wives farm separate plots, and there is some specialization by gender in the crops that are grown. These different crops are differentially sensitive to particular ki ..."

Relational Incentive Contracts By JONATHAN LEVIN*
"... Standard incentive theory models provide a rich framework for studying informa-tional problems but assume that contracts can be perfectly enforced. This paper studies the design of self-enforced relational contracts. I show that optimal con-tracts often can take a simple stationary form, but that se ..."

Contracts that tie compensation to performance can mitigate incentive problems, but writing completely effective contracts
