Optimal Reference Selection for Random Access in Predictive Coding Schemes

Data acquired over long periods of time like High Definition (HD) videos or records from a sensor over long time intervals, have to be efficiently compressed, to reduce their size. The compression has also to allow efficient access to random parts of the data upon request from the users. Efficient compression is usually achieved with prediction between data points at successive time instants. However, this creates dependencies between the compressed representations, which is contrary to the idea of random access. Prediction methods rely in particular on reference data points, used to predict other data points. The placement of these references balances compression efficiency and random access. Existing solutions to position the references use ad hoc methods. In this paper, we study this joint problem of compression efficiency and random access. We introduce the storage cost as a measure of the compression efficiency and the transmission cost for the random access ability. We express the reference placement problem that trades storage with transmission cost as an integer linear programming problem. Considering additional assumptions on the sources and coding methods reduces the complexity of the search space of the optimization problem. Moreover, we show that the classical periodic placement of the references is optimal, when the encoding costs of each data point are equal and when requests of successive data points are made. In this particular case, a closed-form expression of the optimal period is derived. Finally, the proposed optimal placement strategy is compared with an ad hoc method, where the references correspond to sources where the prediction does not help reducing significantly the encoding cost. The proposed optimal algorithm shows a bit saving of -20% with respect to the ad hoc method.
Bitcoin Is Not a New Type of Money

Bitcoin, and more generally, cryptocurrencies, are often described as a new type of money. In this post, we argue that this is a misconception. Bitcoin may be money, but it is not a new type of money. To see what is truly new about Bitcoin, it is useful to make a distinction between “money,” the asset that is being exchanged, and the “exchange mechanism,” that is, the method or process through which the asset is transferred. Doing so reveals that monies with properties similar to Bitcoin have existed for centuries. However, the ability to make electronic exchanges without a trusted party—a defining characteristic of Bitcoin—is radically new. Bitcoin is not a new class of money, it is a new type of exchange mechanism, and this type of exchange mechanism can support a variety of forms of money as well as other types of assets.

Determination of Anatomy Joint Position in Human Body Combining Human Contour Image Feature Algorithm

Abstract How to extract the feature information related to human body structure from image sequences and complete human motion analysis including human posture recognition is highly important research work. In this paper, an algorithm for determining the position of human joints based on human contour image features is proposed. Firstly, the virtual skeleton of the human body is extracted from the human contour using the energy function. Subsequently, the position of joints is determined based on three rules to identify whether a point in the human virtual skeleton is a joint point given in the standard human skeleton model as well as the related knowledge of human anatomy. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has no restrictive conditions attached to the human body in the image in the aspects of motion and color, etc. At the same time, it also has an excellent suppression effect on the noise in the human contour image. Attributing to this feature, it has a relatively low requirement for the extraction accuracy of human contour, with relatively good performance in complex backgrounds.
조리·외식 전공자의 일반적 특성에 따른 학교지원, 진로결정 자기효능감, 학교만족 및 학습지속의향 차이 분석

This study evaluated methods of improving sustained learning participation by examining the structural relationship of school support consisting of professor support, friend-senior support and educational environment support, career decisionmaking self-efficacy, school satisfaction, and learning persistence depending on the characteristics of college students majoring in culinary art and food service. The study findings were as follows. First, the general characteristics of college students majoring in culinary art and food service were perceived significantly more by female students than by male students. Second, school support directly influenced the career decision-making self-efficacy and school satisfaction, but did not directly influence the learning persistence. Instead, school support influenced school satisfaction and learning persistence indirectly by the medium of career decision-making self-efficacy. Third, career decision-making self-efficacy directly influenced school satisfaction and learning persistence and indirectly influenced learning persistence by the medium of school satisfaction. Lastly, school satisfaction directly influenced the learning persistence, implying that school satisfaction is an important factor for the learning persistence of college students majoring in culinary art and food service. These results show that, because school members and environmental support cannot exclusively make learning persistence, diverse systems and programs must be developed and applied to improve the career decision-making self-efficacy and school satisfaction of college students majoring in culinary art and food service.

Of Apples and Ideas

New ideas can help to generate further inventions if the knowledge is readily available for others to use. However, the degree to which nonpayers can benefit from knowledge varies widely, and depend on the specific conduits that enable access and use. The empirical analysis shows that differences in the structure of innovation institutions influenced the spread of technological knowledge spillovers. Prizes were ineffective in generating external benefits from knowledge spillovers. By contrast, patent systems enhanced the diffusion of information for both patented and unpatentable innovation. These outcomes reflected the design of patent institutions, which explicitly incorporate mechanisms for systematic recording, access, and dispersion of technical information.
