Nonrigid registration using free-form deformations: Application to breast MR images

by D. Rueckert, L. I. Sonoda, C. Hayes, D. L. G. Hill, M. O. Leach, D. J. Hawkes - IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging , 1999
"... Abstract — In this paper we present a new approach for the nonrigid registration of contrast-enhanced breast MRI. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed. The global motion of the breast is modeled by an affine transformation while the local breast motion i ..."

is described by a free-form deformation (FFD) based on B-splines. Normalized mutual information is used as a voxel-based similarity measure which is insensitive to intensity changes as a result of the contrast enhancement. Registration is achieved by minimizing a cost function, which represents a combination

A closed-form solution for options with stochastic volatility with applications to bond and currency options

by Steven L. Heston - Review of Financial Studies , 1993
"... I use a new technique to derive a closed-form solution for the price of a European call option on an asset with stochastic volatility. The model allows arbitrary correlation between volatility and spotasset returns. I introduce stochastic interest rates and show how to apply the model to bond option ..."

An Information-Theoretic Definition of Similarity

by Dekang Lin - In Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Machine Learning , 1998
"... Similarity is an important and widely used concept. Previous definitions of similarity are tied to a particular application or a form of knowledge representation. We present an informationtheoretic definition of similarity that is applicable as long as there is a probabilistic model. We demonstrate ..."

Generative communication in Linda

by David Gelernter - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1985
"... Generative communication is the basis of a new distributed programming langauge that is intended for systems programming in distributed settings generally and on integrated network computers in particular. It differs from previous interprocess communication models in specifying that messages be adde ..."

An intrusion-detection model

by Dorothy E. Denning - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1987
"... A model of a real-time intrusion-detection expert system capable of detecting break-ins, penetrations, and other forms of computer abuse is described. The model is based on the hypothesis that security violations can be detected by monitoring a system's audit records for abnormal patterns of sy ..."

Maximum Likelihood Linear Transformations for HMM-Based Speech Recognition

by M.J.F. Gales - COMPUTER SPEECH AND LANGUAGE , 1998
"... This paper examines the application of linear transformations for speaker and environmental adaptation in an HMM-based speech recognition system. In particular, transformations that are trained in a maximum likelihood sense on adaptation data are investigated. Other than in the form of a simple bias ..."

Five misunderstandings about case-study research

by Bent Flyvbjerg - Qualitative Inquiry , 2006
"... When I first became interested in in-depth case-study research, I was trying to understand how power and rationality shape each other and form the urban environments in which we live (Flyvbjerg, 1998). It was clear to me that in order to understand a complex issue like this, in-depth case-study rese ..."

Tensor Decompositions and Applications

by Tamara G. Kolda, Brett W. Bader - SIAM REVIEW , 2009
"... This survey provides an overview of higher-order tensor decompositions, their applications, and available software. A tensor is a multidimensional or N -way array. Decompositions of higher-order tensors (i.e., N -way arrays with N ≥ 3) have applications in psychometrics, chemometrics, signal proce ..."
