Automatic discovery of salient segments in imperfect speech transcripts
Authors: Dulce Ponceleon, Savitha Srinivasan
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection of salient video segments for real-world applications such as corporate training based on associated speech transcriptions. We present a novel segmentation algorithm based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) applied to the audio track of the video. Our feature set consists of word n-grams extracted from the imperfect speech transcriptions. We use a two-pass algorithm that combines a boundary-based method with a content-based method. In the first pass, we analyze the temporal distribution and the rate of arrival of features to compute an initial segmentation. In the second pass, we detect changes in content-bearing words by using the content-bearing features as queries in an information retrieval system. The content-based second pass validates the initial segments and merges them as needed. Variations in the structure of the audio/video content, and the accuracy of ASR have an impact on the feasibility of the segmentation task. For realistic data we observe that we can identify content-rich segments of the audio. In the best scenario a high-level table-of-contents is generated and in the worse scenario a single salient segment is identified. We illustrate the algorithm in detail with some examples and validate the data with manual segmentation boundaries.
Equivalent permutation capabilities between time-division optical omega networks and non-optical extra-stage omega networks
Authors: Xiaojun Shen, Fan Yang, Yi Pan
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

Because signals carried by two waveguides entering a common switch element would generate crosstalk, a regular N &times; N multistage interconnection network (MIN) cannot be directly used as an optical switch between N inputs and N outputs in an optical network. A simple solution is to use a 2N &times; 2N cube-type MIN to provide the N &times; N connections, which needs a much larger hardware cost. A recent research proposed another solution, called the time-domain approach, that divides the N optical inputs into several groups such that crosstalk-free connections can be provided by an N &times; N regular MIN in several time slots, one for each group. Researchers studied this approach on Omega networks and defined the class set &theta; to be the set of N-permutations realizable in two time slots on an Omega network. They proved that the size of &theta; is larger than the size of class &Omega;, where &Omega; consists of all N-permutations admissible to a regular N &times; N (nonoptical) Omega network. This paper first presents an optimal O(N log N) time algorithm for identifying whether a given permutation belongs to class &theta; or not. Using this algorithm, this paper then proves an interesting result that the class &theta; is identical to the class &Omega; + 1 which represents the set of N-permutations admissible to a nonoptical N &times; N one-extra stage Omega network.
Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002
Venue: ACM International Conference Proceeding Series; Vol. 22 (2002)

These proceedings contain the papers presented at VisSym '02, the fourth Joint Visualization Symposium of the Eurographics Association and the Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics (TCVG) of the IEEE Computer Society. The Symposium was held on May 27-29 2002, in Barcelona, Spain.The number of submitted papers has again increased this year to 80 from 14 different countries. Each submission was anonymously reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. In the end the 31 high quality papers here-in were selected.We have observed that the distribution of topics has been quite stable over the last few years, with volume visualization, surface extraction, information visualization and visualization of vector fields and terrains as major areas of interest. A continuing trend appearing in many of these areas is the shift to multi-resolution techniques. Looking at applications, Sciene and Information visualization are this year's predominant application. We are also very happy this year to see an increase in the number of papers on user-interface and user-study issues to ensure that visualization is effective and easy to use.

Case simulation language: an example of local development of a problem oriented language
Authors: Peter Robinson
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

Case Simulation Language or CSL is a programming language which facilitates the production of simulated medical cases for training students at the University of Alabama Medical Center in Birmingham. CSL was developed in two months by one programmer and is executed interpretively by a small program (occupying less than 20,000 bytes) on a Hewlett-Packard 2000 Time Share System. The language features a curious assemblage of old techniques such as fixed fields in each line of source code and numeric labels, juxtaposed to relatively new concepts such as case statements.Modular programming is encouraged by the enforced division of the program into sections. Each section can be reached by a go to line (> line) or a call line (> < line) but once a section is called, new sections must also be called (up to 10 deep) since the attempted execution of a go to line causes an immediate return.An unusual feature of CSL is that the user has many opportunities during a simulation to affect the flow of control by entering a numeric label. (These are presented on the terminal as numbered sections, e.g. 111 Aggravating Factors, 112 Alleviation, etc.) The interpreter then resumes execution of the CSL program at the new section exactly as if an internal go to line naming that section had been executed.The interpreter has built in features which provide help for a user who has gotten "lost". For instance, whenever the user is prompted for a section number, the user can enter a "9" instead, and the terminal will respond with a list of sections which could reasonably be selected.In all, CSL provides 16 basically different operations or line types including provisions for terminal and file I/O, logical branching, and primitive string variables.

High-Level Test Synthesis of Digital VLSI Circuits, 1st edition
Authors: Mike Tien-Chien Lee
Venue:  (1997)

:Here is the first book to propose HTS as a complete, more effective design approach. The author explains how HTS, unlike most existing high-level synthesis techniques that optimize the circuit architecture for area and performance only, is able to explore the synthesis freedom provided at high level to derive an inherently testable architecture at low or even no overhead. By permitting testing from the earliest design stages to minimize or even eliminate serious testing problems, HTS boosts design quality and shortens the development cycle. The book provides an introduction to HTS and helps you develop a comprehensive understanding of this emerging technology by presenting:  The background of HTS terminology, operation scheduling, and resource allocation algorithms used in high-level synthesis  A discussion of various HTS techniques for both scan and built-in self-test methodologies  Coverage of register-transfer level test synthesis  A self-contained introduction to high-level synthesis algorithms and digital testing  Examples of several effective HTS schemes for highly testable digital circuits, assuming non-scan or partial-scan test strategies  A current survey of representative HTS systems For VLSI engineers and developers involved in design-for-test methodology and CAD tool development, this pioneering work provides a first look at the promising HTS technology. It also is a highly informative reference for industry and academic researchers and graduate students interested in this new area.

Error spreading: a perception-driven approach to handling error in continuous media streaming
Authors: Srivatsan Varadarajan, Hung Q. Ngo, Jaideep Srivastava
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2002)

With the growing popularity of the Internet, there is increasing interest in using it for audio and video transmission. Perceptual studies of audio and video viewing have shown that viewers find bursty losses, mostly caused by congestion, to be the most annoying disturbance, and hence these are critical issues to be addressed for continuous media streaming applications. Classical error handling techniques have mostly been geared toward ensuring that the transmission is correct, with no attention to timeliness. For isochronous traffic like audio and video, timeliness is a key criterion, and given the high degree of content redundancy, some loss of content is quite acceptable. In this paper, we introduce the concept of error spreading, which is a transformation technique that permutes the input sequence of packets (from a continuous stream of data) before transmission. The packets are unscrambled at the receiving end. The transformation is designed to ensure that bursty losses in the transformed domain get spread all over the sequence in the original domain, thus improving the perceptual quality of the stream. Our error spreading idea deals with both cases where the stream has or does not have inter-frame dependencies. We next describe a continuous media transmission protocol and experimentally validate its performance based on this idea. We also show that our protocol can be used complementary to other error handling protocols.
Computing a context-free grammar-generating series
Authors: Bruce Litow
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

The parallel complexity of computing context-free grammar generating series is investigated. It is known that this problem is in DIV, but in terms of n&sgr; rather than n, where n is the index of the desired coefficient and &sgr; is the grammar size. A new method is presented which is in DIV in terms of 22O(&sgr;) &bul; n. Evidence is provided that any direct application of elimination theory to this problem leads to a space and time resource factor that is nearly exponential in grammar size.

Authors: Alan E. Wiseman
Venue:  (2000)

:In 1998, Internet-related industries created over a million jobs and generated more than $330 billion in revenue. As of December 1999, almost five million commercial websites had emerged, and that number was increasing at a rate of almost half a million per month. The explosive growth of the Internet economy has drastically changed the way commercial transactions are conducted, making anything from books to databases available at the click of a mouse. This book investigates the underlying economics of the Internet, focusing specifically on the pricing of access, the pricing of goods and services sold online, the relationship between network effects, technological innovation and business strategy, and the issues surrounding taxation of electronic commerce. Addressing the economic aspects of the Internet and electronic commerce as well as traditional pricing practices and market structure, this volume will serve as a roadmap for the current and future terrain of the Internet economy.About the Author: Alan E.

High-speed distributed data handling for on-line instrumentation systems
Authors: William E. Johnston, William Greiman, Gary Hoo, Jason Lee, Brian Tierney, Craig Tull, Douglas Olson
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

The advent (and promise) of shared, widely available, high-speed networks provides the potential for new approaches to the collection, organization, storage, and analysis of high-speed and high-volume data streams from high data-rate, on-line instruments. We have worked in this area for several years, have identified and addressed a variety of problems associated with this scenario, and have evolved an architecture, implementations, and a monitoring methodology that have been successful in addressing several different application areas.In this paper we describe a distributed, wide area network-based architecture that deals with data streams that originate from on-line instruments. Such instruments and imaging systems are a staple of modern scientific, health care, and intelligence environments. Our work provides an approach for reliable, distributed real-time analysis, cataloguing, and archiving of the data streams through the integration and distributed management of a high-speed distributed cache, distributed high-performance applications, and tertiary storage systems.
