The Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method for conservation laws V: multidimensional systems

by Bernardo Cockburn , Chi-Wang Shu , 1997
"... This is the fifth paper in a series in which we construct and study the so-called Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin method for numerically solving hyperbolic conservation laws. In this paper, we extend the method to multidimensional nonlinear systems of conservation laws. The algorithms are describ ..."

are described and discussed, including algorithm formulation and practical implementation issues such as the numerical fluxes, quadrature rules, degrees of freedom, and the slope limiters, both in the triangular and the rectangular element cases. Numerical experiments for two dimensional Euler equations

Combining Branch Predictors

by Scott Mcfarling , 1993
"... One of the key factors determining computer performance is the degree to which the implementation can take advantage of instruction-level paral-lelism. Perhaps the most critical limit to this parallelism is the presence of conditional branches that determine which instructions need to be executed ne ..."

Multimodality Image Registration by Maximization of Mutual Information

by Frederik Maes, André Collignon, Dirk Vandermeulen, Guy Marchal, Paul Suetens - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING , 1997
"... A new approach to the problem of multimodality medical image registration is proposed, using a basic concept from information theory, mutual information (MI), or relative entropy, as a new matching criterion. The method presented in this paper applies MI to measure the statistical dependence or in ..."

and no limiting constraints are imposed on the image content of the modalities involved. The accuracy of the MI criterion is validated for rigid body registration of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and photon emission tomography (PET) images by comparison with the stereotactic registration

Range-Free Localization Schemes for Large Scale Sensor Networks

by Tian He, Chengdu Huang, Brain M. Blum, John A. Stankovic, Tarek Abdelzaher , 2003
"... Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for a multitude of location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point-to-point distance estimates. Because coarse accura ..."

Reasoning the fast and frugal way: Models of bounded rationality.

by Gerd Gigerenzer , Daniel G Goldstein - Psychological Review, , 1996
"... Humans and animals make inferences about the world under limited time and knowledge. In contrast, many models of rational inference treat the mind as a Laplacean Demon, equipped with unlimited time, knowledge, and computational might. Following H. Simon's notion of satisncing, the authors have ..."

The theory of planned behavior

by Icek Ajzen - Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes , 1991
"... Research dealing with various aspects of * the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1987) is reviewed, and some unresolved issues are discussed. In broad terms, the theory is found to be well supported by empirical evidence. Intentions to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted wit ..."

with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are shown

Controlled and automatic human information processing

by Walter Schneider, Richard M. Shiffrin - I. Detection, search, and attention. Psychological Review , 1977
"... A two-process theory of human information processing is proposed and applied to detection, search, and attention phenomena. Automatic processing is activa-tion of a learned sequence of elements in long-term memory that is initiated by appropriate inputs and then proceeds automatically—without subjec ..."

—without subject control, without stressing the capacity limitations of the system, and without necessarily demanding attention. Controlled processing is a temporary activation of a se-quence of elements that can be set up quickly and easily but requires attention, is capacity-limited (usually serial in nature

Learning realistic human actions from movies

by Ivan Laptev, Marcin Marszałek, Cordelia Schmid, Benjamin Rozenfeld - IN: CVPR. , 2008
"... The aim of this paper is to address recognition of natural human actions in diverse and realistic video settings. This challenging but important subject has mostly been ignored in the past due to several problems one of which is the lack of realistic and annotated video datasets. Our first contribut ..."
Abstract - Cited by 738 (48 self) - Add to MetaCart
contribution is to address this limitation and to investigate the use of movie scripts for automatic annotation of human actions in videos. We evaluate alternative methods for action retrieval from scripts and show benefits of a text-based classifier. Using the retrieved action samples for visual learning, we

Model-Based Analysis of Oligonucleotide Arrays: Model Validation, Design Issues and Standard Error Application

by Cheng Li, Wing Hung Wong , 2001
"... Background: A model-based analysis of oligonucleotide expression arrays we developed previously uses a probe-sensitivity index to capture the response characteristic of a specific probe pair and calculates model-based expression indexes (MBEI). MBEI has standard error attached to it as a measure of ..."

of accuracy. Here we investigate the stability of the probe-sensitivity index across different tissue types, the reproducibility of results in replicate experiments, and the use of MBEI in perfect match (PM)-only arrays. Results: Probe-sensitivity indexes are stable across tissue types. The target gene

Discriminative probabilistic models for relational data

by Ben Taskar , 2002
"... In many supervised learning tasks, the entities to be labeled are related to each other in complex ways and their labels are not independent. For example, in hypertext classification, the labels of linked pages are highly correlated. A standard approach is to classify each entity independently, igno ..."

and addresses two limitations of the previous approach. First, undirected models do not impose the acyclicity constraint that hinders representation of many important relational dependencies in directed models. Second, undirected models are well suited for discriminative training, where we optimize
