The Skill Content of Recent Technological Change: An Empirical Exploration

by David H. Autor, Frank Levy, Richard J. Murnane , 2000
"... Recent empirical and case study evidence documents a strong association between the adoption of computers and increased use of college educated or non-production workers. With few exceptions, the conceptual link explaining how computer technology complements skilled labor or substitutes for unskille ..."

Dropout from higher education: A theoretical synthesis of recent research

by Vincent Tinto - Review of Educational Research , 1975
"... Despite the very extensive literature on dropout from higher education, much remains unknown about the nature of the dropout process. In large measure, the failure of past research to delineate more clearly the multiple characteristics of dropout can be traced to two major shortcomings; namely, inad ..."

Moock, to John Weidman, and to an unknown reviewer for their insightful comments on an earlier draft of this paper. The work reported here overlaps to a large extent work performed for the Office of

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

MACROECONOMICS AND REALITY

by Christopher A. Sims - ECONOMETRICA , 1980
"... Existing strategies for econometric analysis related to macroeconomics are subject to a number of serious objections, some recently formulated, some old. These objections are summarized in this paper, and it is argued that taken together they make it unlikely that macroeconomic models are in fact ov ..."

Software Engineering Economics

by Barry W. Boehm , 1981
"... Abstract—This paper summarizes the current state of the art and recent trends in software engineering economics. It provides an overview of economic analysis techniques and their applicability to software engineering and management. It surveys the field of software cost estimation, including the maj ..."

A Maximum Entropy approach to Natural Language Processing

by Adam L. Berger, Stephen A. Della Pietra , Vincent J. Della Pietra - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1996
"... The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper we des ..."

LEDA: A Platform for Combinatorial and Geometric Computing

by Kurt Mehlhorn, Stefan Näher, Christian Uhrig , 1999
"... We give an overview of the LEDA platform for combinatorial and geometric computing and an account of its development. We discuss our motivation for building LEDA and to what extent we have reached our goals. We also discuss some recent theoretical developments. This paper contains no new technical ..."

Ensemble Methods in Machine Learning

by Thomas G. Dietterich - MULTIPLE CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS, LBCS-1857 , 2000
"... Ensemble methods are learning algorithms that construct a set of classifiers and then classify new data points by taking a (weighted) vote of their predictions. The original ensemble method is Bayesian averaging, but more recent algorithms include error-correcting output coding, Bagging, and boostin ..."

Coordination of Groups of Mobile Autonomous Agents Using Nearest Neighbor Rules

by A. Jadbabaie, J. Lin, A. S. Morse , 2002
"... In a recent Physical Review Letters paper, Vicsek et. al. propose a simple but compelling discrete-time model of n autonomous agents fi.e., points or particlesg all moving in the plane with the same speed but with dierent headings. Each agent's heading is updated using a local rule based on ..."

Image registration methods: a survey.

by Barbara Zitová , Jan Flusser , 2003
"... Abstract This paper aims to present a review of recent as well as classic image registration methods. Image registration is the process of overlaying images (two or more) of the same scene taken at different times, from different viewpoints, and/or by different sensors. The registration geometrical ..."
