The Mathematics of Abstraction
Examples include:

• Using low order abstractions of dynamic models to synthesize motion with a physical feel
• Using subspace methods to develop compact representations of poses
• Exploring large datasets with synthetic "stereotypes" and their application to classification problems
• Data mining hand authored animation to develop usable descriptions of style and character "personality"
