PageRank, HITS and a unified framework for link analysis
Authors: Chris Ding, Xiaofeng He, Parry Husbands, Hongyuan Zha, Horst D. Simon
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Two popular link-based webpage ranking algorithms are (i) PageRank[1] and (ii) HITS (Hypertext Induced Topic Selection)[3]. HITS makes the crucial distinction of hubs and authorities and computes them in a mutually reinforcing way. PageRank considers the hyperlink weight normalization and the equilibrium distribution of random surfers as the citation score. We generalize and combine these key concepts into a unified framework, in which we prove that rankings produced by PageRank and HITS are both highly correlated with the ranking by in-degree and out-degree.

On the Facet-Inducing Antiweb-Wheel Inequalities for Stable Set Polytopes
Authors: Eddie Cheng, Sven de Vries
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

A large class of facets is constructed for the stable set polytope. This class is a common generalization of wheel facets and of antiweb facets. The proof of their validity and facetness exploits graph operations which transform inequalities into more complicated ones. In an accompanying paper polynomial time separation-algorithms are presented for generalizations of these inequalities.
Indexing, browsing, and searching of digital video and digtial audio information
Authors: Alan F. Smeaton
Venue: Lectures on information retrieval (2001)

In this chapter we examine various techniques for providing content access to information stored in a continuous medium, namely digital audio and digital video. Our coverage of audio is centered around post-processing the output of automatic recognition of speech or phones and we describe the various approaches that have been taken in this area. In order to give reasonable coverage of the possibilities and limitations of content-based access to digital video information we sketch out at a high level, the approaches taken in various video compression algorithms, principally the MPEG family.. We then address approaches to shot and scene boundary detection, choosing representative frames for browsing and for search, and various browsing interfaces that have been developed. We finish with an overview of the likely developments in this area in the future.
Crosscutting quality attributes for requirements engineering
Authors: Ana Moreira, João Araújo, Isabel Brito
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Quality attributes are usually integrated with functional requirements at the later stages of the software development process. One of the reasons is that the current approaches fail in dealing with the crosscutting nature of some of those attributes, i.e. it is difficult to represent clearly how these attributes can affect several requirements simultaneously. Since this integration is not supported from requirements to the implementation, some of the software engineering principles, such as abstraction, localization, modularisation, uniformity and reusability, can be compromised. What we propose is a model to identify and specify quality attributes that crosscut requirements including their systematic integration into the functional description at an early stage of the software development process, i.e. at the requirements stage.

Quadratic Convergence for Valuing American Options Using a Penalty Method
Authors: P. A. Forsyth, K. R. Vetzal
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

The convergence of a penalty method for solving the discrete regularized American option valuation problem is studied. Sufficient conditions are derived which both guarantee convergence of the nonlinear penalty iteration and ensure that the iterates converge monotonically to the solution. These conditions also ensure that the solution of the penalty problem is an approximate solution to the discrete linear complementarity problem. The efficiency and quality of solutions obtained using the implicit penalty method are compared with those produced with the commonly used technique of handling the American constraint explicitly. Convergence rates are studied as the timestep and mesh size tend to zero. It is observed that an implicit treatment of the American constraint does not converge quadratically (as the timestep is reduced) if constant timesteps are used. A timestep selector is suggested which restores quadratic convergence.

Unitals in Finite Desarguesian Planes
Authors: A. Cossidente, G. L. Ebert, G. Korchmáros
Venue: Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Journal (2001)

We show that a suitable 2-dimensional linear system of Hermitian curves of i>PG(2,i>q2) defines a model for the Desarguesian plane i>PG(2,i>q). Using this model we give the following group-theoretic characterization of the classical unitals. A unital in i>PG(2,i>q2) is classical if and only if it is fixed by a linear collineation group of order 6(i>q + 1)2 that fixes no point or line in i>PG(2,i>q2).

Encouraging task-related dialog in 2D and 3D shared narrative workspaces
Authors: Karl E. Steiner, Tom Moher
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Collaborative virtual environments (2002)

This paper describes a series of studies conducted to evaluate methods of encouraging productive dialog between young children in 2D and 3D shared narrative workspaces. These workspaces were based on the Graphic Story Writer (GSW), an interactive system that produces coherent narrative text in response to user interactions. In particular, we examine the effect of introducing "positive interdependence" between collaborators as a way of encouraging productive dialog.Three studies of user interactions with the GSW were performed. An initial study of collaborative storytelling using a 2D version of the GSW demonstrated the technical feasibility of creating a shared 2D workspace devoted to narrative construction The study also confirmed the difficulty of encouraging communication between children during synchronous learning activities at separate computers. The second study introduced an additional condition that created positive interdependence between users. Users in this condition had significantly more on-task communication than those in the other conditions. We go on to describe how we modified the 2D GSW model to support collaboration in a 3D shared workspace, and provide observations and insights gained from a usability study of the 3D GSW.

On binary search tree recursions with monomials as toll functions
Authors: Ralph Neininger
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

We consider distributional recursions which appear in the study of random binary search trees with monomials as toll functions. This extends classical parameters as the internal path length in binary search trees. As our main results we derive asymptotic expansions for the moments of the random variables under consideration as well as limit laws and properties of the densities of the limit distributions. The analysis is based on the contraction method.

Graceful planes and lines
Authors: Valentin E. Brimkov, Reneta P. Barneva
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In the framework of the theory of arithmetic geometry (Reveills, Gomtrie Discrte, Calcul en Nombres Entiers et Algorithmique, Thse d'tat, Universit Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, 1991), we propose an approach to discretize polyhedra by meshes of discrete triangles. We propose a general discretization scheme based on reducing the 3D problem to a 2D problem. We introduce new classes of discrete planes and lines called graceful planes and graceful lines. Naive planes and graceful lines are used to construct as thin as possible triangular mesh discretization admitting an analytical description. The interiors of the triangles are portions of naive planes, while the sides are graceful lines. These primitives serve as an optimal ground for obtaining thin tunnel-free discretizations, within the adopted generation scheme. We also extend our considerations to arbitrary surfaces and curves.

Computational Explorations in Cognitive Neuroscience: Understanding the Mind by Simulating the Brain, 1st edition
Authors: Randall C. O'Reilly, Yuko Munakata
Venue:  (2000)

:The goal of computational cognitive neuroscience is to understand how the brain embodies the mind by using biologically based computational models comprising networks of neuronlike units. This text, based on a course taught by Randall O'Reilly and Yuko Munakata over the past several years, provides an in-depth introduction to the main ideas in the field. The neural units in the simulations use equations based directly on the ion channels that govern the behavior of real neurons, and the neural networks incorporate anatomical and physiological properties of the neocortex. Thus the text provides the student with knowledge of the basic biology of the brain as well as the computational skills needed to simulate large-scale cognitive phenomena. The text consists of two parts. The first part covers basic neural computation mechanisms: individual neurons, neural networks, and learning mechanisms. The second part covers large-scale brain area organization and cognitive phenomena: perception and attention, memory, language, and higher-level cognition. The second part is relatively self-contained and can be used separately for mechanistically oriented cognitive neuroscience courses. Integrated throughout the text are more than forty different simulation models, many of them full-scale research-grade models, with friendly interfaces and accompanying exercises. The simulation software (PDP++, available for all major platforms) and simulations can be downloaded free of charge from the Web. Exercise solutions are available, and the text includes full information on the software.
