A Pragmatic Qualitative Approach for Juxtaposing Shapes
"... Abstract: This paper presents a qualitative shape description scheme which has been defined in order to have a formal theory to allow the construction of new shapes from a set of given shapes by using a juxtaposition operation. Specifically, the qualitative shape description scheme defined is a prag ..."

Recovering 3D Human Pose from Monocular Images
"... We describe a learning based method for recovering 3D human body pose from single images and monocular image sequences. Our approach requires neither an explicit body model nor prior labelling of body parts in the image. Instead, it recovers pose by direct nonlinear regression against shape descrip ..."

Paradigms Lost and Pragmatism Regained: Methodological Implications of Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Methods
- Journal of Mixed Methods Research
, 2007
"... This article examines several methodological issues associated with combining qualitative and quantitative methods by comparing the increasing interest in this topic with the earlier renewal of interest in qualitative research during the 1980s. The first section argues for the value of Kuhn’s concep ..."

encouraged efforts to replace that paradigm. The final section of the paper advocates a “pragmatic approach ” as a new guiding paradigm in social science research methods, both as a basis for supporting work that combines qualitative and quantitative meth-ods and as a way to redirect our attention

Against the quantitative–qualitative incompatibility thesis or dogmas die hard
- Educational Researcher
, 1988
"... Over approximately the last 20 years, the use of qualitative methods in educational research as evolved from being scoffed at to being viewed as useful for provisional exploration, to being accepted as a valuable alternative approach in its own right, to being embraced as capable of thoroughgoing in ..."

A Pragmatic Approach to Shaped Coded Modulation
"... We discuss shaping codes in an elementary way, which is from the standpoint of enumerative coding. Then we show how to combine our shaping methods with a error correcting codes. It turns out that we can easily gain a decibel by using shaping techniques, with or without error correction coding. Final ..."

. Finally we describe the combination of our shaping method with the `pragmatic' approach to coded modulation, which can be realized with VLSI circuits that are widely available. 1 PAM Consider uncoded transmission over an additive Gaussian noise channel, i.e. Y t = X t +N t , for t = 1; 2; \Delta
Shaping Feminist Theology: A Pragmatic Approach?

Qualitative Shape Representation
- IN
, 1994
"... Boundaries are closely related to shape and it is in the context of shape representation that the problem of undetermined boundaries appears in spatial reasoning. Shape indeterminacy may occur at different levels of abstraction, namely at the topological and the geometrical level. It shows that ther ..."

a representational scheme for positional ordering information that was originally developed for qualitative robot navigation can be adapted to the problem of shape representation. The ordering information approach to qualitative shape description proves to be useful when the indeterminacy arises
Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Shape Recovery
, 1994
"... Recent work in qualitative shape recovery and object recognition has focused on solving the "what is it" problem, while avoiding the "where is it " problem. In contrast, typical CAD-based recognition systems have focused on the "where is it " problem, while assuming th ..."

they know what the object is. Although each approach addresses an important aspect of the 3-D object recognition problem, each falls short in addressing the complete problem of recognizing and localizing 3-D objects from a large database. In this paper, we first synthesize a new approach to shape recovery
