Kodaira-Spencer theory of gravity and exact results for quantum string amplitudes

by M. Bershadsky, S. Cecotti, H. Ooguri, C. Vafa - Commun. Math. Phys , 1994
"... We develop techniques to compute higher loop string amplitudes for twisted N = 2 theories with ĉ = 3 (i.e. the critical case). An important ingredient is the discovery of an anomaly at every genus in decoupling of BRST trivial states, captured to all orders by a master anomaly equation. In a particu ..."

’ of holomorphic curves of higher genus curves in Calabi–Yau manifolds. It is shown that topological amplitudes can also be reinterpreted as computing corrections to superpotential terms appearing in the effective 4d theory resulting from compactification of standard 10d superstrings on the corresponding N = 2

Least squares quantization in pcm.

by Stuart P Lloyd - Bell Telephone Laboratories Paper , 1982
"... Abstract-It has long been realized that in pulse-code modulation (PCM), with a given ensemble of signals to handle, the quantum values should be spaced more closely in the voltage regions where the signal amplitude is more likely to fall. It has been shown by Panter and Dite that, in the limit as t ..."

as the number of quanta becomes infinite, the asymptotic fractional density of quanta per unit voltage should vary as the one-third power of the probability density per unit voltage of signal amplitudes. In this paper the corresponding result for any finite number of quanta is derived; that is, necessary

Closed-form solution of absolute orientation using unit quaternions

by Berthold K. P. Horn - J. Opt. Soc. Am. A , 1987
"... Finding the relationship between two coordinate systems using pairs of measurements of the coordinates of a number of points in both systems is a classic photogrammetric task. It finds applications in stereophotogrammetry and in robotics. I present here a closed-form solution to the least-squares pr ..."

-squares problem for three or more points. Currently various empirical, graphical, and numerical iterative methods are in use. Derivation of the solution is simplified by use of unit quaternions to represent rotation. I emphasize a symmetry property that a solution to this problem ought to possess. The best

Shape Matching and Object Recognition Using Shape Contexts

by Serge Belongie, Jitendra Malik, Jan Puzicha - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 2001
"... We present a novel approach to measuring similarity between shapes and exploit it for object recognition. In our framework, the measurement of similarity is preceded by (1) solv- ing for correspondences between points on the two shapes, (2) using the correspondences to estimate an aligning transform ..."

Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

by Ofer Aharony, Steven S. Gubser, Juan Maldacena, Hirosi Ooguri, Yaron Oz , 2001
"... We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories. We review the background for this correspondence and discuss its motivations and the evide ..."

and the evidence for its correctness. We describe the main results that have been derived from the correspondence in the regime that the field theory is approximated by classical or semiclassical gravity. We focus on the case of the N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, but we discuss also field

Verb Semantics And Lexical Selection

This results in a series of problems for MT systems: inflexible verb sense definitions; difficulty in handling metaphor and new ..."

A direct approach to false discovery rates

by John D. Storey , 2002
"... Summary. Multiple-hypothesis testing involves guarding against much more complicated errors than single-hypothesis testing. Whereas we typically control the type I error rate for a single-hypothesis test, a compound error rate is controlled for multiple-hypothesis tests. For example, controlling the ..."
Abstract - Cited by 775 (14 self) - Add to MetaCart
the false discovery rate FDR traditionally involves intricate sequential p-value rejection methods based on the observed data. Whereas a sequential p-value method fixes the error rate and estimates its corresponding rejection region, we propose the opposite approach—we fix the rejection region

Modeling and performance analysis of bittorrentlike peer-to-peer networks

"... In this paper, we develop simple models to study the performance of BitTorrent, a second generation peerto-peer (P2P) application. We first present a simple fluid model and study the scalability, performance and efficiency of such a file-sharing mechanism. We then consider the built-in incentive mec ..."

Multiple sequence alignment with the Clustal series of programs
