Large steps in cloth simulation
- SIGGRAPH 98 Conference Proceedings
, 1998
"... The bottle-neck in most cloth simulation systems is that time steps must be small to avoid numerical instability. This paper describes a cloth simulation system that can stably take large time steps. The simulation system couples a new technique for enforcing constraints on individual cloth particle ..."

Automatically characterizing large scale program behavior
, 2002
"... Understanding program behavior is at the foundation of computer architecture and program optimization. Many pro-grams have wildly different behavior on even the very largest of scales (over the complete execution of the program). This realization has ramifications for many architectural and com-pile ..."

The first step towards this goal is the development of a hardware independent metric that can concisely summarize the behav
Large-Step Markov Chains for the Traveling Salesman Problem
- Complex Systems
, 1991
"... We introduce a new class of Markov chain Monte Carlo search procedures, leading to more powerful optimization methods than simulated annealing. The main idea is to embed deterministic local search techniques into stochastic algorithms. The Monte Carlo explores only local optima, and it is able to ma ..."

to make large, global changes, even at low temperatures, thus overcoming large barriers in configuration space. We test these procedures in the case of the Traveling Salesman Problem. The embedded local searches we use are 3-opt and Lin-Kernighan. The large change or step consists of a special kind of 4
Exact Sampling with Coupled Markov Chains and Applications to Statistical Mechanics
, 1996
"... For many applications it is useful to sample from a finite set of objects in accordance with some particular distribution. One approach is to run an ergodic (i.e., irreducible aperiodic) Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the desired distribution on this set; after the Markov chain has ..."

has run for M steps, with M sufficiently large, the distribution governing the state of the chain approximates the desired distribution. Unfortunately it can be difficult to determine how large M needs to be. We describe a simple variant of this method that determines on its own when to stop
Edge Detection
, 1985
"... For both biological systems and machines, vision begins with a large and unwieldy array of measurements of the amount of light reflected from surfaces in the environment. The goal of vision is to recover physical properties of objects in the scene, such as the location of object boundaries and the s ..."

A Singular Value Thresholding Algorithm for Matrix Completion
, 2008
"... This paper introduces a novel algorithm to approximate the matrix with minimum nuclear norm among all matrices obeying a set of convex constraints. This problem may be understood as the convex relaxation of a rank minimization problem, and arises in many important applications as in the task of reco ..."

A Comparison of Methods for Multiclass Support Vector Machines
- IEEE TRANS. NEURAL NETWORKS
, 2002
"... Support vector machines (SVMs) were originally designed for binary classification. How to effectively extend it for multiclass classification is still an ongoing research issue. Several methods have been proposed where typically we construct a multiclass classifier by combining several binary class ..."

As it is computationally more expensive to solve multiclass problems, comparisons of these methods using large-scale problems have not been seriously conducted. Especially for methods solving multiclass SVM in one step, a much
numerical method with large step-size
"... We show that a mechanical model of a pin-jointed linked structure is exactly equivalent to a symplectic Euler discretisation of a Hamiltonian ODE system. The step-size of this discretisation relates to a mechanical quantity which can take arbitrary values. Thus we may explore the behaviour of the sy ..."

Mining the Network Value of Customers
- In Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
, 2002
"... One of the major applications of data mining is in helping companies determine which potential customers to market to. If the expected pro t from a customer is greater than the cost of marketing to her, the marketing action for that customer is executed. So far, work in this area has considered only ..."

Bricks: Laying the foundations for graspable user interfaces
, 1995
"... We introduce the concept of Graspable User Interfaces which allow direct control of electronic or virtual objects through physical handles for control. These physical artifacts are essentially new input devices which can be tightly coupled or “attached ” to virtual objects for manipulation or for ex ..."

First, as a note on research methodology, we outline a series of exploratory studies that were conducted. Secondly, we describe a prototype system called "Bricks &
