Geometric Data Analysis: An Empirical Approach to Dimensionality Reduction and the Study of Patterns
Authors: Michael Kirby
Venue:  (2000)

:An analysis of large data sets from an empirical and geometric viewpoint Data reduction is a rapidly emerging field with broad applications in essentially all fields where large data sets are collected and analyzed. Geometric Data Analysis is the first textbook to focus on the geometric approach to this problem of developing and distinguishing subspace and submanifold techniques for low-dimensional data representation. Understanding the geometrical nature of the data under investigation is presented as the key to identifying a proper reduction technique. Focusing on the construction of dimensionality-reducing mappings to reveal important geometrical structure in the data, the sequence of chapters is carefully constructed to guide the reader from the beginnings of the subject to areas of current research activity. A detailed, and essentially self-contained, presentation of the mathematical prerequisites is included to aid readers from a broad variety of backgrounds. Other topics discussed in Geometric Data Analysis include: *The Karhunen-Loeve procedure for scalar and vector fields with extensions to missing data, noisy data, and data with symmetry *Nonlinear methods including radial basis functions (RBFs) and backpropa-gation neural networks *Wavelets and Fourier analysis as analytical methods for data reduction *Expansive discussion of recent research including the Whitney reduction network and adaptive bases codeveloped by the author *And much more The methods are developed within the context of many real-world applications involving massive data sets, including those generated by digital imaging systems and computer simulations of physical phenomena.Empirically based representations are shown to facilitate their investigation and yield insights that would otherwise elude conventional analytical tools.
Massively parallel simulations of diffusion in dense polymeric structures
Authors: Jean-Loup Faulon, J. David Hobbs, David M. Ford, Robert T. Wilcox
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

An original computational technique to generate close-to-equilibrium dense polymeric structures is proposed. Diffusion of small gases are studied on the equilibrated structures using massively parallel molecular dynamics simulations running on the Intel Teraflops (9216 Pentium Pro processors) and Intel Paragon (1840 processors). Compared to the current state-of-the-art equilibration methods this new technique appears to be faster by some orders of magnitude. The main advantage of the technique is that one can circumvent the bottlenecks in configuration space that inhibit relaxation in molecular dynamics simulations. The technique is based on the fact that tetravalent atoms (such as carbon and silicon) fit in the center of a regular tetrahedron and that regular tetrahedrons can be used to mesh the three-dimensional space. Thus, the problem of polymer equilibration described by continuous equations in molecular dynamics is reduced to a discrete problem where solutions are approximated by simple algorithms. Practical modeling applications include the construction of butyl rubber and ethylene-propylene-dimer-monomer (EPDM) models for oxygen and water diffusion calculations. Butyl and EPDM are used in O-ring systems and serve as sealing joints in many manufactured objects. Diffusion coefficients of small gases have been measured experimentally on both polymeric systems, and in general the diffusion coefficients in EPDM are an order of magnitude larger than in butyl. In order to better understand the diffusion phenomena, 10,000 atoms models were generated and equilibrated for butyl and EPDM. The models were submitted to a massively parallel molecular dynamics simulation to monitor the trajectories of the diffusing species. The massively parallel molecular dynamics code used in this paper achieves parallelism by a spatial-decomposition of the workload which enables it to run large problems in a scalable way where both memory cost and per-timestep execution speed scale linearly with the number of atoms being simulated. It runs efficiently on several parallel platforms, including the Intel Teraflops at Sandia. There are several diffusion modes observed depending if the diffusion is probed at short time scale (anomalous mode) or long time scale (normal mode). Ultimately, the diffusion coefficient that need to be compared with experimental data corresponds to the normal mode. The dynamics trajectories obtained with butyl and EPDM demonstrated that the normal mode was reached for diffusion within one nanosecond of simulation. In agreement with experimental evidences, the oxygen and water diffusion coefficients were found larger for EPDM than butyl.

Webonomics: The Nine Essential Priciples for Growing Your Business on the World Wide Web
Authors: Evan I. Schwartz
Venue:  (1997)

:The World Wide Web has become the most important new communications medium since television, with tens of millions of people now on-line and Web sitesspringing up at the rate of one per minute. It has also created a digital marketplace where consumers can search for the best deals and services in an instant. While almost everyone agrees that the Web provides excellent marketing opportunities, many businesses don't know how to use it effectively and have been losing millions of dollars because of it. In Webonomics, Evan I. Schwartz shows how the new Web economy mirrors the traditional economy in some ways but also exhibits entirely uniqueproperties of its own. Using numerous case studies of corporations such as IBM, Volvo, Playboy Enterprises, and Wells Fargo bank, as well as smaller companies and web-based start-ups, Schwartz documents both the tremendous failures and successes on the Web in a multitude of industries. Defining nine essential principles for growing your business on the Web, Schwartz challenges the conventional wisdom and shows how using traditionalbusiness approaches on the Web can backfire. Why are some products better suited to being sold on the Web than others? Why are certain brand names gaining status and how do you create and then reinforce yours? What are the new patterns of consumer behavior? Webonomics answers these questions and shows how to capture the only scarce commodity on this information-based terrain: the attention of the busy people who are spending time there. Putting the frenetic activity in a context, Schwartz delves into the new economic rules, new forms of currency, new ways to do businessglobally, and shows how to add value to existing products and build customer loyalty. In addition to offering practical wisdom, Webonomics tells a larger story about life in the Information Age. It's about rising new communities, the next phase of capitalism, a shift in the role of government, and surviving amidst accelerating change, where only the most agile and adaptable businesses will thrive.

GPSS/H, SLX, proof: GPSS/H: a 23-year retrospective view
Authors: James O. Henriksen, Robert C. Crain
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

GPSS/H was first placed into commercial service in November, 1977. Over the ensuing 23 years, it has become well known for its speed and dependability. In GPSS/H, the process-interaction world view has been combined with many advanced features to make an extremely powerful and flexible tool, capable of handling large, complicated models with ease, yet still providing exceptionally high performance. The sections that follow provide an overview of GPSS/H and its process-interaction world view, a discussion of model-building interfaces including tradeoffs associated with graphical modeling environments, and a summary of advanced and recently-added GPSS/H features. Finally, the use of special-purpose simulators is discussed, along with features of GPSS/H which make it very well-suited for use as the engine in such simulators. This paper provides a retrospective look at the history of GPSS/H.

Mining interesting regions using an evolutionary algorithm
Authors: J. L. Álvarez, J. Mata, J. C. Riquelme
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In this paper, we offer a new method to induce interesting knowledge from the relevant sets of data in databases for supervised learning. Thus, in this work, ELLIPSES is presented as a new method oriented to discover knowledge according to the expert's needs, by the detection of the most significant regions. The method essence is found in an evolutionary algorithm that finds these regions one after another. The expert decides which regions are significant and determines the stop criterion. The extracted knowledge is offered through two types of rules: Quantitative and Qualitative. The tool also offers a visualization of each rule by parallel coordinate systems. The ELLIPSES results are compared with C4.5 on UCI Repository datasets.

On parsing and condensing substrings of LR languages in linear time
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

LR parsers have longbeen known as being an efficient algorithm for recognizing deterministic context-free grammars. In this article, we present a linear-time method for parsing substrings of LR languages. The algorithm depends on the LR automaton which is used for the usual parsing of complete sentences. We prove the correctness and linear complexity of our algorithm and present an interesting extension of our substring parser that allows to condense the input string, which increases the speed when reparsing that string for a second time.
