Differences in the Effects of Rounding Errors in Krylov Solvers for Symmetric Indefinite Linear Systems
Authors: Gerard L. G. Sleijpen, Henk A. Van der
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

The three-term Lanczos process for a symmetric matrix leads to bases for Krylov subspaces of increasing dimension. The Lanczos basis, together with the recurrence coefficients, can be used for the solution of symmetric indefinite linear systems, by solving a reduced system in one way or another. This leads to well-known methods: MINRES (minimal residual), GMRES (generalized minimal residual), and SYMMLQ (symmetric LQ). We will discuss in what way and to what extent these approaches differ in their sensitivity to rounding errors.In our analysis we will assume that the Lanczos basis is generated in exactly the same way for the different methods, and we will not consider the errors in the Lanczos process itself. We will show that the method of solution may lead, under certain circumstances, to large additional errors, which are not corrected by continuing the iteration process.Our findings are supported and illustrated by numerical examples.
A General Method for Geometric Feature Matching and Model Extraction
Authors: Clark F. Olson
Venue: International Journal of Computer Vision (2001)

Popular algorithms for feature matching and model extraction fall into two broad categories: generate-and-test and Hough transform variations. However, both methods suffer from problems in practical implementations. Generate-and-test methods are sensitive to noise in the data. They often fail when the generated model fit is poor due to error in the data used to generate the model position. Hough transform variations are less sensitive to noise, but implementations for complex problems suffer from large time and space requirements and from the detection of false positives. This paper describes a general method for solving problems where a model is extracted from, or fit to, data that draws benefits from both generate-and-test methods and those based on the Hough transform, yielding a method superior to both. An important component of the method is the subdivision of the problem into many subproblems. This allows efficient generate-and-test techniques to be used, including the use of randomization to limit the number of subproblems that must be examined. Each subproblem is solved using pose space analysis techniques similar to the Hough transform, which lowers the sensitivity of the method to noise. This strategy is easy to implement and results in practical algorithms that are efficient and robust. We describe case studies of the application of this method to object recognition, geometric primitive extraction, robust regression, and motion segmentation.

There are 45 users on this network,and about eight of the users spend most of the day sending files with an average size of 145MB to each other over the network. This is significantly slowing down overall network performance for all users on the network. What would be the most cost-effective solution for solving network performance problems?A. Install an active hub B. Install a bridge C. Enable the scope on the DHCP server D. implement distance vector routing protocols B. Installing a bridge will allow you topartition the collision domain for users transferring large files. In this way,traffic between users who transfer large files to each other will remain on one side of the bridge. The other users of the network will be located on the opposite side of the bridge,and will not be affected by the file transfers. A. An Active hub will not partition the collision domain. C and D are incorrect,since the implementation of routing protocols will not improve performance; no routing is taking place within the single subnet.

Efficient Location of Discrepancies in Multiple Replicated Large Files
Authors: Changsik Park, John J. Metzner
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

We present a new technique for locating corrupted page copies, outdated page copies, and missing page copies in multiple replicated large file copies. We present four communication models and four communication protocols to be used in this technique. These four protocols are classified according to using or not using a coordinator site, groups, and/or a master signature. Whereas, other previous works consider locating only corrupted page copies, our protocols can locate outdated page copies and missing page copies as well as corrupted page copies. In addition, whereas other previous works are based on majority rule to determine the correct copy, our protocols are not. The performances of these protocols are measured in terms of the number of transmissions and the number of transmitted signatures. We compare these performances with one another and, also, compare them to the performances of other previous works.
Linear cost is sometimes quadratic
Authors: Barry K. Rosen
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

In analysis of programs and many other kinds of computation, algorithms are commonly written to have an input P and an output Q, where both P and Q are large and complicated objects. For example, P might be a routing problem and Q might be a solution to P. Although documented and discussed in this exhaustive style, algorithms are sometimes intended for use in contexts with two departures from the one-time analysis of an entire new input. First, the current value of P is the result of a small change to a previous value of P. We want to update the results of the previous analysis without redoing all of the work. Second, accurate information is only wanted in some designated portion of the large output Q. Possibly inaccurate information may appear elsewhere in Q. We want the analysis to be demand-driven: accurate where accuracy is demanded, but not burdened by the cost of providing much more than is demanded. This paper studies demand-driven algorithms capable of updating without extensive reanalysls. Such algorithms are called incremental, in contrast with the one-time analysis of an entire new input contemplated by exhaustive algorithms. In some cases, it is shown that an exhaustive algorithm can be easily recast in an efficient incremental style. Other algorithms for the same problem may be much less amenable to incremental use. It is shown that traditional exhaustive computational complexity bounds are poor predictors of incremental performance. The main examples are taken from global data flow analysis.
Functional segmentation of dynamic emission tomographic images
Authors: Koon-Pong Wong, Dagan Feng, Steven R. Meikle, Michael J. Fulham
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Emission tomography such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can provide in vivomeasurements of dynamic physiological and biochemical processes in humans. A limitation of both PET and SPECT is their inability to provide precise anatomic localisation due to relatively poor spatial resolution and high noise levels when compared to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Manual placement of regions of interest (ROIs) is commonly used in clinical and research settings in analysis of PET and SPECT data. However, this approach is operator dependent and time-consuming. Semi- or fully-automated ROI delineation (or segmentation) methods offer advantages by reducing operator error and subjectivity and thereby improving reproducibility. In this paper, we describe an approach to automatically segment dynamic PET images based on functional difference using cluster analysis, and we validate our approach with a simulated phantom study and assess its performance in segmentation of dynamic lung data. Our results suggest that cluster analysis can be used to automatically segment tissues in dynamic PET and SPECT studies.

A Family of Canonical Correlation Networks
Authors: P. L. Lai, C. Fyfe
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

We have previously introduced &lsqb;2, 5&rsqb; a neural implementation of Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). In this paper, we re-derive the learning method from a probabilistic perspective and then show that similar networks can be derived based on the pioneering work of Becker &lsqb;1&rsqb; if certain simplifying assumptions are made. Becker has shown that her network is able to find depth information from an abstraction of random dot stereogram data and so finally we note the similarity of the derived methods with those of Stone &lsqb;3&rsqb; which was used with a smooth stereo disparity data set to extract depth information.
A mechanism of structural join index hierarchy for efficient complex object retrieval
Authors: Chi-wai Fung, Kamalakar Karlapalem, Qing Li
Venue: Information organization and databases: foundations of data organization (2000)

In this chapter, a novel indexing method --- structural join index hierarchy --- is proposed to handle the complex object retrieval without using a sequence of expensive pointer chasing operations. The structural join index hierarchy mimics the class composition hierarchy of the complex objects and provides direct access to them and their component objects. Structural join index hierarchy extends the work on join index hierarchies by providing efficient and flexible access to complex objects. Moreover, this method unifies various previous indexing methods proposed for OODBs. We present performance evaluation to illustrate the utility of structural join index hierarchy over other indexing methods for complex object retrieval.
Deformation of finite element meshes using directly manipulated free-form deformation
Authors: Norbert Frisch, Thomas Ertl
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

CrashViewer [5, 18] is a tool for visualizing car crash simulation input and output data consisting of nite element meshes. For a shorter work ow, a feature for local deformation of the car components represented by FE meshes is desired. This feature allows to quickly make minor corrections and enhancements directly on the FE mesh. The roundtrip through the CAD department and the remeshing of the CAD representation is avoided. The crash simulation can be started immediately with the modified car component(s). In order to achieve this goal, we investigate a variety of approaches related to free-form deformation (FFD). We base our implementation on the directly manipulated free-form deformation (DMFFD) [8, 7], adding various enhancements to this approach. We improve the deformation behaviour to be more uniform and consistent over time and space, and thus more intuitive and user friendly. Further, we present ways for increasing the efficiency of the computations necessary for mesh deformation. Finally, we specify a simple user interface which is easy to use while providing the necessary precision.
