Roads to adaptation: Understanding adaptation planning of urban road infrastructure.
… of the United Nations (IPCC) confirms that adaptation efforts will be as important as mitigation efforts since we can no longer stop climate change from happening at least to some degree around the globe. Transport infrastructure forms part of the systems on which cities rely most heavily …

Contextual mobile adaptation
… and interaction. Researchers agree that system adaptation is a key issue in ubicomp because it can be hard to predict changes in contexts, needs and uses. Even with the best planning, it is impossible to foresee all uses of software at the design stage. In order for software to continue to be …

Hamlet: Red, an adaptation
Hamlet: Red, an adaptation proposes an in-depth method of teaching Shakespeare's works by reconstructing the literature so it is relative to the cultural context of its students. This proposal focuses specifically on Hamlet as studied by at-risk middle schoolers. Beginning with a vital …

Adaptation in multisensory neurons
… in a DSC neuron. In particular, we suggest that adaptation may determine its exact form. Adaptation to input statistics is a ubiquitous property of sensory neurons. Defining the operating point as the output probability density function, we argue that a neuron maintains an invariant operating …

Job Satisfaction and Adaptation
… in a midwestern hospital. A variation of the job adaptation model proposed by Rosse and Miller (Rosse, J. G. & Miller, H. E. (1984). Relationship between absenteeism and other employee behaviors. In P. S. Goodman (Ed.), Absenteeism (pp. 194-228). San Francisco: Josey-Bass) was tested using the …

Example-based grasp adaptation
… is to present an algorithm that performs grasp adaptation. Before we adapt a grasp, we first find the geometric correspondence between a demo object and new object using probabilistic graphical model. Based on correlation information together with the demo grasp, we generate a grasp for the new …

Anisotropic adaptation: metrics and meshes
We present a method for anisotropic mesh refinement to high-order numerical solutions. We accomplish this by assigning metrics to vertices that approximate the error in that region. To choose values for each metric, we first reconstruct an error equation from the leading order terms of the Taylor …

MODEL ADAPTATION FOR EDGE AI
… Firstly, we tackle the challenge of on-device adaptation for user-specific models. Given the limited on-chip memory in edge devices, data movement becomes a significant bottleneck, leading to increased energy consumption. We introduce Chameleon, an energy-efficient continual learning framework. …

Domain adaptation with minimal training
… This thesis identifies two key ingredients for adaptation without training: broad coverage resources and constraints. We show how resources like Wikipedia, VerbNet and WordNet that contain comprehensive coverage of entities, semantic roles and words in English can help a model adapt to the …

Sensitivity methods and slow adaptation
In many existing model reference adaptive control (MRAC) schemes, the plant order and relative degree are assumed known. Then a full-order control parameterization is specified which allows for an exact transfer function match between the closed-loop plant and a reference model. Often for plants of …

Study of adaptation in amputees
… Crank turning is examined as a task in which adaptation can occur. One non-amputee and one amputee subject were tested in a pilot experiment of a crank turning task. Each was allowed to become familiar with a basic crank turning task. A perturbation, in the form of an external, …
