A quantitative description of membrane currents and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve

by A. L. Hodgkin, A. F. Huxley - Journal of Physiology , 1952
"... This article concludes a series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fibre (Hodgkin, Huxley & Katz, 1952; Hodgkin & Huxley, 1952 a-c). Its general object is to discu the results of the preceding papers (Part I), to put them into ..."

Contributing to Discourse

by Herbert H. Clark, Edward F. Schaefer - Cognitive Science , 1989
"... For people to contribute to discourse, they must do more than utter the right sentence at the right time. The basic requirement is that they odd to their common ground in on orderly way. To do this, we argue, they try to establish for each utterance the mutual belief that the addressees hove underst ..."

This is accomplished by the collective actions of the current contributor and his or her partners, and these result in units of conversation called contributions. We present a model of contributions and show how it accounts for o variety

Making the most of statistical analyses: Improving interpretation and presentation

by Gary King, Michael Tomz, Jason Wittenberg - American Journal of Political Science , 2000
"... Social scientists rarely take full advantage of the information available in their statistical results. As a consequence, they miss opportunities to present quantities that are of greatest substantive interest for their research and express the appropriate degree of certainty about these quantities. ..."

Text Categorization with Support Vector Machines: Learning with Many Relevant Features

by Thorsten Joachims , 1998
"... This paper explores the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for learning text classifiers from examples. It analyzes the particular properties of learning with text data and identifies, why SVMs are appropriate for this task. Empirical results support the theoretical findings. SVMs achieve substan ..."

Approximate Signal Processing

by S. Hamid Nawab, Alan V. Oppenheim, Anantha P. Chandrakasan, Joseph M. Winograd, Jeffrey T. Ludwig , 1997
"... It is increasingly important to structure signal processing algorithms and systems to allow for trading off between the accuracy of results and the utilization of resources in their implementation. In any particular context, there are typically a variety of heuristic approaches to managing these tra ..."

Alliances and networks

by Ranjay Gulati
"... This paper introduces a social network perspective to the study of strategic alliances. It extends prior research, which has primarily considered alliances as dyadic exchanges and paid less attention to the fact that key precursors, processes, and outcomes associated with alliances can be defined an ..."

) the performance consequences for firms entering alliances. For each of these issues, this paper outlines some of the current research and debates at the firm and dyad level and then discusses some of the new and important insights that result from introducing a network perspective. It highlights current network

DBpedia: A Nucleus for a Web of Open Data

by Sören Auer, Christian Bizer, Georgi Kobilarov, Jens Lehmann, Zachary Ives, et al. - PROC. 6TH INT’L SEMANTIC WEB CONF , 2007
"... DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against datasets derived from Wikipedia and to link other datasets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We describe the extractio ..."

We describe some emerging applications from the DBpedia community and show how website authors can facilitate DBpedia content within their sites. Finally, we present the current

Working Knowledge

by Thomas Davenport, Laurence Prusak, Gary Wills, Harith Alani, Ronald Ashri, Richard Crowder, Yannis Kalfoglou, Sanghee Kim , 1998
"... While knowledge is viewed by many as an asset, it is often difficult to locate particular items within a large electronic corpus. This paper presents an agent based framework for the location of resources to resolve a specific query, and considers the associated design issue. Aspects of the work ..."
Abstract - Cited by 527 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
presented complements current research into both expertise finders and recommender systems. The essential issues for the proposed design are scalability, together with the ability to learn and adapt to changing resources. As knowledge is often implicit within electronic resources, and therefore

Induction of Decision Trees

by J. R. Quinlan - MACH. LEARN , 1986
"... The technology for building knowledge-based systems by inductive inference from examples has been demonstrated successfully in several practical applications. This paper summarizes an approach to synthesizing decision trees that has been used in a variety of systems, and it describes one such syste ..."

such system, ID3, in detail. Results from recent studies show ways in which the methodology can be modified to deal with information that is noisy and/or incomplete. A reported shortcoming of the basic algorithm is discussed and two means of overcoming it are compared. The paper concludes with illustrations

R-trees: A Dynamic Index Structure for Spatial Searching

by Antonin Guttman - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA , 1984
"... In order to handle spatial data efficiently, as required in computer aided design and geo-data applications, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve data items quickly according to their spatial locations However, traditional indexing methods are not well suited to data ..."

to data objects of non-zero size located m multi-dimensional spaces In this paper we describe a dynamic index structure called an R-tree which meets this need, and give algorithms for searching and updating it. We present the results of a series of tests which indicate that the structure performs well
