Surgeon’s Magic Wand: A Screen Pointing Interactive Method
"... Abstract: A novel, non-touch, screen pointing “magic wand ” interface is proposed for surgeon’s use in an environment requiring simultaneous display of several patients ’ data over a continuous period of time. The magic wand or passive pointing device does not have any active energy source within it ..."

Keywords: Surgeon’s wand, screen pointing interface, passive pointer, image processing, hand pointing gesture Advances in medical research
OPTICS: Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure
, 1999
"... Cluster analysis is a primary method for database mining. It is either used as a stand-alone tool to get insight into the distribution of a data set, e.g. to focus further analysis and data processing, or as a preprocessing step for other algorithms operating on the detected clusters. Almost all of ..."

For medium sized data sets, the cluster-ordering can be represented graphically and for very large data sets, we introduce an appropriate visualization technique. Both are suitable for interactive exploration

Mega: molecular evolutionary genetic analysis software for microcomputers
- CABIOS
, 1994
"... A computer program package called MEGA has been developed for estimating evolutionary distances, reconstructing phylogenetic trees and computing basic statistical quantities from molecular data. It is written in C+ + and is intended to be used on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers. In this pr ..."

in nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Advanced on-screen sequence data and phylogenetic-tree editors facilitate publication-quality outputs with a wide range of printers. Integrated and interactive designs, on-line context-sensitive helps, and a text-file editor make MEGA easy to use.
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning with function approximation.
- In NIPS,
, 1999
"... Abstract Function approximation is essential to reinforcement learning, but the standard approach of approximating a value function and determining a policy from it has so far proven theoretically intractable. In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which the policy is explicitly repres ..."

Re-Tiling Polygonal Surfaces
- Computer Graphics
, 1992
"... This paper presents an automatic method of creating surface models at several levels of detail from an original polygonal description of a given object. Representing models at various levels of detail is important for achieving high frame rates in interactive graphics applications and also for speed ..."

Emerging Frameworks for Tangible User Interfaces
, 2001
"... For more than thirty years, people have relied primarily on screen-based text and graphics to interact with computers. Whether the screen is placed on a desk, held in one's hand, worn on one's head, or embedded in the physical environment, the screen has cultivated a predominantly visual p ..."

Point Set Surfaces
, 2001
"... We advocate the use of point sets to represent shapes. We provide a definition of a smooth manifold surface from a set of points close to the original surface. The definition is based on local maps from differential geometry, which are approximated by the method of moving least squares (MLS). We pre ..."

A Framework for Expressing the Relationships Between Multiple Views in Requirements Specification

, 1994
"... Composite systems are generally comprised of heterogeneous components whose specifications are developed by many development participants. The requirements of such systems are invariably elicited from multiple perspectives which overlap, complement and contradict each other. Furthermore, these requi ..."
