Relations between the statistics of natural images and the response properties of cortical cells

by David J. Field - J. Opt. Soc. Am. A , 1987
"... The relative efficiency of any particular image-coding scheme should be defined only in relation to the class of images that the code is likely to encounter. To understand the representation of images by the mammalian visual system, it might therefore be useful to consider the statistics of images f ..."

of space, spatial frequency, and orientation (Gabor-like transforms). For many classes of image, such codes will not be an efficient means of representing information. However, the results obtained with six natural images suggest that the orientation and the spatial-frequency tuning of mammalian simple

The EigenTrust Algorithm for Reputation Management in P2P Networks

by Sepandar D. Kamvar, Mario T. Schlosser, Hector Garcia-molina - in Proceedings of the 12th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2003 , 2003
"... Peer-to-peer file-sharing networks are currently receiving much attention as a means of sharing and distributing information. However, as recent experience with P2P networks such as Gnutella shows, the anonymous, open nature of these networks offers an almost ideal environment for the spread of self ..."

Computing semantic relatedness using Wikipedia-based explicit semantic analysis

by Evgeniy Gabrilovich, Shaul Markovitch - In Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence , 2007

We propose Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA), a novel method that represents the meaning of texts in a high-dimensional space of concepts derived from Wikipedi ..."

Algebraic laws for nondeterminism and concurrency

by Matthew Hennessy, Robin Milner - Journal of the ACM , 1985
"... Abstract. Since a nondeterministic and concurrent program may, in general, communicate repeatedly with its environment, its meaning cannot be presented naturally as an input/output function (as is often done in the denotational approach to semantics). In this paper, an alternative is put forth. Firs ..."

WordNet: A Lexical Database for English

by George A. Miller - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1995
"... Because meaningful sentences are composed of meaningful words, any system that hopes to process natural languages as people do must have information about words and their meanings. This information is traditionally provided through dictionaries, and machine-readable dictionaries are now widely avail ..."

Defining Virtual Reality: Dimensions Determining Telepresence

by Jonathan Steuer - JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION , 1992
"... Virtual reality (VR) is typically defined in terms of technological hardware. This paper attempts to cast a new, variable-based definition of virtual reality that can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media. The defintion of virtual reality is based on concepts of "presen ..."

;presence" and "telepresence," which refer to the sense of being in an environment, generated by natural or mediated means, respectively. Two technological dimensions that contribute to telepresence, vividness and interactivity, are discussed. A variety of media are classified according to these dimensions

A review of image denoising algorithms, with a new one

by A. Buades, B. Coll, J. M. Morel - SIMUL , 2005
"... The search for efficient image denoising methods is still a valid challenge at the crossing of functional analysis and statistics. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. All show an outstanding perf ..."

and, second, to propose a nonlocal means (NL-means) algorithm addressing the preservation of structure in a digital image. The mathematical analysis is based on the analysis of the “method noise, ” defined as the difference between a digital image and its denoised version. The NL-means algorithm

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 ..."

Expectancy — value formulations are found to be only partly successful in dealing with these relations. Optimal rescaling of expectancy

An Introduction to the Kalman Filter

by Greg Welch, Gary Bishop - UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL , 1995
"... In 1960, R.E. Kalman published his famous paper describing a recursive solution to the discrete-data linear filtering problem. Since that time, due in large part to advances in digital computing, the Kalman filter has been the subject of extensive research and application, particularly in the area o ..."

of autonomous or assisted navigation. The Kalman filter is a set of mathematical equations that provides an efficient computational (recursive) means to estimate the state of a process, in a way that minimizes the mean of the squared error. The filter is very powerful in several aspects: it supports

A Compositional Approach to Performance Modelling

by Jane Hillston , 1996
"... Performance modelling is concerned with the capture and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of computer and communication systems. The size and complexity of many modern systems result in large, complex models. A compositional approach decomposes the system into subsystems that are smaller and more ea ..."
