Ontology-guided knowledge discovery in databases
Authors: Joseph Phillips, Bruce G. Buchanan
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

We present work in progress on a new methodology for leveraging the semantic content of ontologies to guide knowledge discovery in databases. Our system scans new databases to obtain type and constraint information, which users verify. Our system then uses this information in the context of a shared ontology to intelligently guide the potentially combinatorial process of feature construction. Further, our system learns each time it is applied, easing the user's verification task on subsequent runs..

Simulation Surgery, 1st edition
Authors: Toyomi Fujino
Venue:  (1994)

:The book shows how surgical techniques can be simulated on a computer video display using simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional frame models, and more complex 3-D full colour video simulations of a patient's condition and disease. It also demonstrates how a complete operative procedure may be simulated on the computer screen, selecting and 'excising' tissue just as in the actual operation, and how visual and tactile replicas of cases are created so that the problems and solutions can be explored. A team of international experts extend the book's scope beyond plastic and reconstructive surgery to orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery and general surgery, and there is also coverage of the possible impact of biorobotics and the future of 'fuzzy logic' in automated system control. The use of computer simulation in medical education and patient information is also explored. Clinicians in all fields, but particularly the surgical specialties, computer and electronics engineers, medical educators and their students will find this a fascinating review of the state of the art in simulation and computer-aided surgery, its current developments and uses, and its potential for the future.

Do users tolerate errors from their assistant?: experiments with an E-mail classifier
Authors: Jean-David Ruvini, Jean-Marc Gabriel
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Smartlook, an e-mail classifier assistant, helps users filing their e-mails into folders. For a given message, it predicts the six most likely folders for that message and provides shortcut buttons that facilitate filing into one of the predicted folders. In this paper, we report results from user tests that show that although Smartlook does not achieve 100% prediction accuracy, a small percentage of errors does not hurt since users tolerate some errors from such an assistant.

Integrated Position Estimation Using Aerial Image Sequences
Authors: D. -G. Sim, R. -H. Park, R. -C. Kim, S. U. Lee, I. -C. Kim
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

This paper presents an integrated system for navigation parameter estimation using sequential aerial images, where navigation parameters represent the position and velocity information of an aircraft for autonomous navigation. The proposed integrated system is composed of two parts: relative position estimation and absolute position estimation. Relative position estimation recursively computes the current position of an aircraft by accumulating relative displacement estimates extracted from two successive aerial images. Simple accumulation of parameter values decreases the reliability of the extracted parameter estimates as an aircraftgoes on navigating, resulting in a large position error. Therefore, absolute position estimation is required to compensate for the position error generated in relative position estimation. Absolute position estimation algorithms by image matching and digital elevation model(DEM) matching are presented. In image matching, a robust-oriented Hausdorff measure (ROHM) is employed, whereas in DEM matching the algorithm using multiple image pairs is used. Experiments with four real aerial image sequences show the effectiveness of the proposed integrated position estimation algorithm.

MPI-StarT: delivering network performance to numerical applications
Authors: Parry Husbands, James C. Hoe
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

We describe an MPI implementation for a cluster of SMPs interconnected by a high-performance interconnect. This work is a collaboration between a numerical applications programmer and a cluster interconnect architect. The collaboration started with the modest goal of satisfying the communication needs of a specific numerical application, MITMatlab. However, by supporting the MPI standard MPI-StarT readily extends support to a host of applications. MPI-StarT is derived from MPICH by developing a custom implementation of the Channel Interface. Some changes in MPICH's ADI and Protocol Layers are also necessary for correct and optimal operation.MPI-StarT relies on the host SMPs' shared memory mechanism for intra-SMP communication. Inter-SMP communication is supported through StarT-X. The StarT-X NIU allows a cluster of PCI-equipped host platforms to communicate over the Arctic Switch Fabric. Currently, StarT-X is utilized by a cluster of SUN E5000 SMPs as well as a cluster of Intel Pentium-II workstations. On a SUN E5000 with StarT-X, a processor can send and receive a 64-byte message in less than 0.4 and 3.5 usec respectively and incur less than 5.6 usec user-to-user one-way latency. StarT-X's remote memory-to-memory DMA mechanism can transfer large data blocks at 60 MByte/sec between SUN E5000s.This paper outlines our effort to preserve and deliver this level of communication performance through MPI-StarT to user applications. We have studied the requirements of MITMatlab and the capabilities of StarT-X and have formulated an implementation strategy for the Channel Interface. In this paper, we discuss some performance and correctness issues and their resolutions in MPI-StarT. The correctness issues range from the handling of arbitrarily large message sizes to deadlock-free support of nonblocking MPI operations. Performance optimizations include a shared-memory-based transport mechanism for intra-SMP communication and a broadcast mechanism that is aware of the performance difference between intra-SMP and the slower inter-SMP communication.We characterize the performance of MPI-StarT on a cluster of SUN E5000s. On SUN E5000s, MPI processes within the same SMP can communicate at over 150 MByte/sec using shared memory. When communicating between SMPs over StarT-X, MPI-StarT has a peak bandwidth of 56 MByte/sec. While fine-tuning of MPI-StarT is ongoing, we demonstrate that MPI-StarT is effective in enabling the speedup of MITMatlab on a cluster of SMPs by reporting on the performance of some representative numerical operations.

On parsing LL-languages
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Usually, a parser for an LL(k)-grammar G is a deterministic pushdown transducer which produces a leftmost derivation for a given input string x&egr;. L(G). Ukkonen (JCCS 26(1983)153-170) has given a family of LL(2)-grammars proving that every parser for these grammars has exponential size. If we add to a parser the possibility to manipulate a constant number of pointers which point to positions within the constructed part of the leftmost derivation and to change the output in such positions, we obtain an extended parser for the LL(k)-grammar G. Given an arbitrary LL(k)-grammar G, we will show how to construct an extended parser of polynomial size manipulating at most k2 pointers. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
Model abstraction techniques and applications: informing and calibrating a multiresolution exploratory analysis model with high resolution simulation: the interdiction problem as a case history
Authors: Paul K. Davis, James H. Bigelow, Jimmie McEver
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Exploratory analysis uses a low-resolution model for broad survey work. High-resolution simulation can sometimes be used to inform development and calibration of such a model. This paper is a case history of such an effort. The problem at issue was characterizing the effectiveness, in interdicting an invading army, of long-range precision fires. After observing puzzling results from high-resolution simulation, we developed a multiresolution personal-computer model called PEM to explain the phenomena analytically. We then studied the simulation data in depth to assess, adjust, and calibrate PEM, while at the same time discovering and accounting for various shortcomings or subtleties of the high-resolution simulation and data. The resulting PEM model clarified results and allowed us to explore a wide range of additional circumstances. It credibly predicted changes in effectiveness over two orders of magnitude, depending on situational factors involving C4ISR, maneuver patterns, missile and weapon characteristics, and type of terrain. The insights gained appear valid and a simplified version of PEM could be used for scaling adjustments in comprehensive theater-level models.
