In this project we aim to achieve two significant extensions of our recent work on developing a text-to-visualspeech (TTVS) system (Ezzat, Geiger, Poggio 2002). The existing synthesis module may be trained to generate image sequences of a real human face synchronized to a text-to-speech system, starting from just a few real images of the person to be simulated. We propose to 1) extend our morph...

Research in Algorithms for Geometric Pattern Matching MIT 2001 - 06 Progress Report : January 1 , 2002 – June 30 , 2002

During the period of January-June 2002, the main focus of this project was implementing and evaluating algorithms for embedding Earth-Mover Distance into the Euclidean space. Earth-mover distance (EMD) is a recently proposed metric for computing distance between features of images (see [EMD] and references therein). It was experimentally verified to capture well the perceptual notion of a diffe...

Salmonella and Campy/obaeter are two of the most common foodbome pathogens that produce illness in humans, causing an estimated> 1 million and >800,000 illnesses, respectively, due to food consumed in the United States. Most of these estimated illnesse s are not confirmed by culture. Exposure to poultry meat is an important risk factor for illness from both pathogens. Evidence for this link has...

Trade's effect on the living standards of the poor is generally found to be the dominant channel through which trade influences child time allocation and schooling. Trade can influence the living standards of the poor by changing consumption prices and through altering labor and family asset income. It is this later channel, changes in labor and asset incomes, that researchers have highlighted ...
