Concepts of emergence index in image databases
Authors: Sagarmay Deb, Yanchun Zhang
Venue: Distributed multimedia databases: techniques applications (2002)

Emergence is a phenomenon where we study the implicit or hidden meaning of an image. We introduce this concept in image database access and retrieval of images using this as an index for retrieval. This would give an entirely different search outcome than ordinary search where emergence is not considered, as consideration of hidden meanings could change the index of search. We discuss emergence, emergence index and approach how to apply this concept in image retrieval in this chapter.
FSU PLATO project: basic skills in math for Florida High Schools
Authors: Janis E. Qualls
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

During the 1978-79 school year, Florida State University (FSU), in cooperation with the Control Data Corporation (CDC) and three Florida high schools, conducted a field test to deliver the mathematics portion of CDC's Basic Skills Learning System. This instructional system is designed to enable individuals with a wide range of abilities to achieve an eighth-grade level of competence in reading, math, and language skills. PLATO, a multimedia computer-based educational delivery system, is the focal point of the Basic Skills curriculum.The major purposes of the field test were to 1) determine the operational feasibility of remote PLATO sites in high schools, 2) field test the mathematics courseware, 3) provide data showing PLATO's effectiveness in remedial mathematics instruction, and 4) provide an economic analysis for using PLATO in public schools.The three test sites represented a cross-section of Florida high school students in need of remedial mathematics. The participating schools were Paxon Senior High School (Jacksonville), Sarasota Senior High School (Sarasota), and Glades Central High School (Belle Glade), representing an urban, a suburban, and a rural population. Each site was equipped with eight PLATO terminals in one classroom, which were connected to a central computer at Florida State University via a single telephone line.

Using a statistical language model to improve the performance of an HMM-based cursive handwriting recognition systems
Authors: U.-V. Marti, H. Bunke
Venue: Hidden Markov models: applications in computer vision (2001)

In this paper, a system for the reading of totally unconstrained handwritten text is presented. The kernel of the system is a hidden Markov model (HMM) for handwriting recognition. The HMM is enhanced by a statistical language model. Thus linguistic knowledge beyond the lexicon level is incorporated in the recognition process. Another novel feature of the system is that the HMM is applied in such a way that the difficult problem of segmenting a line of text into individual words is avoided. A number of experiments with various language models and large vocabularies have been conducted. The language models used in the system were also analytically compared based on their perplexity.

A study of the effects of locking granularity in a data base management system
Authors: Daniel R. Ries, Michael Stonebraker
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

Many data base systems guarantee some form of integrity control upon multiple concurrent updates by some form of locking. Some "granule" of the data base is chosen as the unit which is individually locked, and a lock management algorithm is used to ensure integrity. By a simulation model this paper explores the desired size of a "granule". Under a wide variety of seemingly realistic conditions, surprisingly coarse granularity is called for. The paper concludes with some implications of these results concerning the viability of so called "predicate locking".Research sponsored by the Naval Electronic Systems Command Contract N00039-76-c-0022, the National Science Foundation Grant DCR75-03839 and the Army Research Office Grant DAAG29-76-6-0245.

Selecting relevant instances for efficient and accurate collaborative filtering
Authors: Kai Yu, Xiaowei Xu, Martin Ester, Hans-Peter Kriegel
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Collaborative filtering uses a database about consumers' preferences to make personal product recommendations and is achieving widespread success in both E-Commerce and Information Filtering Applications nowadays. However, the traditional collaborative filtering algorithms do not scale well to the ever-growing number of consumers. The quality of the recommendation also needs to be improved in order to gain more trust from the consumers. In this paper, we present a novel method to improve the scalability and the accuracy of the collaborative filtering algorithm. We introduce an information theoretic approach to measure the relevance of a consumer (instance) for predicting the preference for the given product (target concept). The proposed method reduces the training data set by selecting only highly relevant instances. Our experimental evaluation on the well-known EachMovie data set shows that our method doesn't only significantly speed up the prediction, but also results in a better accuracy.
