Clustering by passing messages between data points

by Brendan J. Frey, Delbert Dueck - Science , 2007
"... Clustering data by identifying a subset of representative examples is important for processing sensory signals and detecting patterns in data. Such “exemplars ” can be found by randomly choosing an initial subset of data points and then iteratively refining it, but this works well only if that initi ..."

so in less than one-hundredth the amount of time. Clustering data based on a measure of similarity is a critical step in scientific data analysis and in engineering systems. A common approach is to use data to learn a set of centers such that the sum of

VL2: Scalable and Flexible Data Center Network”,

by Albert Greenberg , James R Hamilton , Navendu Jain , Srikanth Kandula , Changhoon Kim , Parantap Lahiri , David A Maltz , Parveen Patel , Sudipta Sengupta - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, , 2009
"... Abstract To be agile and cost e ective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be assigned to any service. To meet these goals, we present VL, a practical network architecture that scales t ..."

Data Preparation for Mining World Wide Web Browsing Patterns

by Robert Cooley, Bamshad Mobasher, Jaideep Srivastava - KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS , 1999
"... The World Wide Web (WWW) continues to grow at an astounding rate in both the sheer volume of tra#c and the size and complexity of Web sites. The complexity of tasks such as Web site design, Web server design, and of simply navigating through a Web site have increased along with this growth. An i ..."

Testing for Common Trends

by James H. Stock, Mark W. Watson - Journal of the American Statistical Association , 1988
"... Cointegrated multiple time series share at least one common trend. Two tests are developed for the number of common stochastic trends (i.e., for the order of cointegration) in a multiple time series with and without drift. Both tests involve the roots of the ordinary least squares coefficient matrix ..."

on similar assets of different maturities will be cointegrated. Applying these tests to postwar U.S. data on the federal funds rate and the three- and twelve-month treasury bill rates providesupport for this prediction: The three interest rates appear to be cointegrated.

A message ferrying approach for data delivery in sparse mobile ad hoc networks

by Wenrui Zhao, Mostafa Ammar, Ellen Zegura - In Proc. of ACM Mobihoc , 2004
"... Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network capacity required in many critical applications, e.g., battlefields, disaster relief and wide area sensing. In this paper we study the problem of efficient data delivery in sparse MANETs where network partitions ..."

can last for a significant period. Previous approaches rely on the use of either long range communication which leads to rapid draining of nodes ’ limited batteries, or existing node mobility which results in low data delivery rates and large delays. In this paper, we describe a Message Ferrying (MF

The TSIMMIS Project: Integration of Heterogeneous Information Sources

by Sudarshan Chawathe, Hector Garcia-Molina, Joachim Hammer, Kelly Ireland, Yannis Papakonstantinou, Jeffrey Ullman, Jennifer Widom
"... The goal of the Tsimmis Project is to develop tools that facilitate the rapid integration of heterogeneous information sources that may include both structured and unstructured data. This paper gives an overview of the project, describing components that extract properties from unstructured objects, ..."

, that translate information into a common object model, that combine information from several sources, that allow browsing of information, and that manage constraints across heterogeneous sites. Tsimmis is a joint project between Stanford and the IBM Almaden Research Center.

Satisfaction and Comparison Income

by Andrew Clark, Andrew Oswald - Journal of Public Economics , 1995
"... This paper is an attempt to test the hypothesis that utility depends on income relative to a 'comparison' or reference level. Using data on 5,000 British workers, it provides two findings. First, workers' reported satisfaction levels are shown to be inversely related to their comparis ..."

Estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions in the control region of mitochondrial DNA in humans and chimpanzees.

by Koichiro Tamura , Masatoshi Nei - Mol Biol Evol , 1993
"... Examining the pattern of nucleotide substitution for the control region of mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) in humans and chimpanzees, we developed a new mathematical method for estimating the number of transitional and transversional substitutions per site, as well as the total number of nucleotide sub ..."

substitutions. In this method, excess transitions, unequal nucleotide frequencies, and variation of substitution rate among different sites are all taken into account. Application of this method to human and chimpanzee data suggested that the transition / transversion ratio for the entire control region was -15

Semantic similarity based on corpus statistics and lexical taxonomy

by Jay J. Jiang, David W. Conrath - Proc of 10th International Conference on Research in Computational Linguistics, ROCLING’97 , 1997
"... This paper presents a new approach for measuring semantic similarity/distance between words and concepts. It combines a lexical taxonomy structure with corpus statistical information so that the semantic distance between nodes in the semantic space constructed by the taxonomy can be better quantifie ..."

calculation. When tested on a common data set of word pair similarity ratings, the proposed approach outperforms other computational models. It gives the highest correlation value (r = 0.828) with a benchmark based on human similarity judgements, whereas an upper bound (r = 0.885) is observed when human

The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

by Minh N. Do, Martin Vetterli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING

In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."
