Bayesianism and Language Change
Authors: Jon Williamson
Venue: Journal of Logic, Language and Information (2002)

Bayesian probability is normally defined over a fixed language or event space. But in practice language is susceptible to change, and the question naturally arises as to how Bayesian degrees of belief should change as language changes. I argue here that this question poses a serious challenge to Bayesianism. The Bayesian may be able to meet this challenge however, and I outline a practical method for changing degrees of belief over changes in finite propositional languages.
Does WT10g look like the web?
Authors: Ian Soboroff
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

We measure the WT10g test collection, used in the TREC-9 and TREC 2001 Web Tracks, with common measures used in the web topology community, in order to see if WT10g "looks like" the web. This is not an idle question; characteristics of the web, such as power law relationships, diameter, and connected components have all been observed within the scope of general web crawls, constructed by blindly following links. In contrast, WT10g was carved out from a larger crawl specifically to be a web search test collection within the reach of university researchers. Does such a collection retain the properties of the larger web? In the case of WT10g, yes.

Hydrodynamical methods for analyzing longest increasing subsequences
Authors: Piet Groeneboom
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

Let Ln be the length of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation of the numbers 1 .... , n, for the uniform distribution on the set of permutations. We discuss the "hydrodynamical approach" to the analysis of the limit behavior, which probably started with Hammersley (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability, Vol. 1 (1972) 345-394) and was subsequently further developed by several authors. We also give two proofs of an exact (non-asymptotic) result, announced in Rains (preprint, 2000).
Efficient Parallel Algorithms for Parabolic Problems
Authors: Q. Du, M. Mu, Z. N. Wu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

Domain decomposition algorithms for parallel numerical solution of parabolic equations are studied for steady state or slow unsteady computation. Implicit schemes are used in order to march with large time steps. Parallelization is realized by approximating interface values using explicit computation. Various techniques are examined, including a multistep second order explicit scheme and a one-step high-order scheme. We show that the resulting schemes are of second order global accuracy in space, and stable in the sense of Osher or in $L_{\infty }$. They are optimized with respect to the parallel efficiency.
A high-speed dynamic instruction scheduling scheme for superscalar processors
Authors: Masahiro Goshima, Kengo Nishino, Toshiaki Kitamura, Yasuhiko Nakashima, Shinji Tomita, Shin-ichiro Mori
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

The wakeup logic is a part of the issuing window and is responsible to manage the ready flags of the operands for dynamic instruction scheduling. The conventional wakeup logic is based on association, and composed of a RAM and a CAM. Since the logic is not pipelinable and the delays of these memories are dominated by the wire delays, the logic will be more critical with deeper pipelines and smaller feature sizes. This paper describes a new scheduling scheme not based on the association but on matrices which represent the dependences between instructions. Since the update logic of the matrices detects the dependencies between instructions as the register renaming logic does, the wakeup operation is realized by just reading the matrices. This paper also describes a technique to reduce the effective size of the matrices for small IPC penalties. We designed the layouts of the logics guided by a 0.18&micro;m CMOS design rule provided by Fujitsu Limited, and calculated the delays. We also evaluated the penalties by cycle-level simulation. The results show that our scheme achieves 2.7GHz clock speed for the IPC degradation of about 1%.

A Vector Finite Element Time-Domain Method for Solving Maxwell's Equations on Unstructured Hexahedral Grids
Authors: Garry Rodrigue, Daniel White
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper the vector finite element time-domain (VFETD) method is derived, analyzed, and validated. The VFETD method uses edge vector finite elements as a basis for the electric field and face vector finite elements as a basis for the magnetic flux density. The Galerkin method is used to convert Maxwell's equations to a coupled system of ordinary differential equations. The leapfrog method is used to advance the fields in time. The method is shown to be stable and to conserve energy and charge for arbitrary hexahedral grids. A numerical dispersion analysis shows the method to be second order accurate on distorted hexahedral grids. Several computational experiments are performed to determine the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

Applied Computational Economics and Finance
Authors: Mario J. Miranda, Paul L. Fackler
Venue:  (2002)

:This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasizes practical numerical methods rather than mathematical proofs and focuses on techniques that apply directly to economic analyses. The examples are drawn from a wide range of subspecialties of economics and finance, with particular emphasis on problems in agricultural and resource economics, macroeconomics, and finance. The book also provides an extensive Web-site library of computer utilities and demonstration programs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part develops basic numerical methods, including linear and nonlinear equation methods, complementarity methods, finite-dimensional optimization, numerical integration and differentiation, and function approximation. The second part presents methods for solving dynamic stochastic models in economics and finance, including dynamic programming, rational expectations, and arbitrage pricing models in discrete and continuous time. The book uses MATLAB to illustrate the algorithms and includes a utilities toolbox to help readers develop their own computational economics applications.

Paint Shop Pro 6 Visual Insight
Authors: Ramona Pruitt, Joshua Pruitt
Venue:  (1999)

:Paint Shop Pro 6 Visual Insight is set up in two parts. The first part of the book steps readers through various tasks and techniques they will need to complete the real-world projects found in the book's second part. The format grabs readers' attention with screenshots and caption-like text instead of traditional methods where readers wade through paragraphs of text to find what they need. Teaches the applicable and useful fundamental elements of the program, such as tools and their options, and builds on that base to guide readers through creating effects, all shown in an easy to understand, graphically oriented format. Paint Shop Pro 6 Visual Insight teaches the most useful techniques of the program and allows readers to polish those techniques with real-world projects, such as touching up photos and creating composites. Readers get straight to work on learning the necessary skills they need for common effects  eliminating red-eye, color-correcting images, and creating eye-catching text effects. Like all Visual Insight books, this book appeals to visual learners who need to see - rather than read - how to create something. Its unique format allows readers to see an effect in the book and then duplicate it on their screen. Unlike other small size books, Paint Shop Pro 6 Visual Insight features a 16-page Color Studio that illustrates color-related tasks and finished projects from the book.
The Computing Capacity of Three-Input Multiple-Valued One-Threshold Perceptrons
Authors: Alioune Ngom, Ivan Stojmenović, Ratko Tošić
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

In this paper, an exact and general formula is derived for the number of linear partitions of a given point set V in three-dimensional space, depending on the configuration formed by the points of V. The set V can be a multi-set, that is it may contain points that coincide. Based on the formula, we obtain an efficient algorithm for counting the number of k-valued logic functions simulated by a three-input k-valued one-threshold perceptron.
