Color-based image retrieval using binary signatures
Authors: Mario A. Nascimento, Vishal Chitkara
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We propose two variations of a new image abstraction technique based on signature bit-strings as well as an appropriate similarity metric for color-based image retrieval. Performance evaluation on a heterogeneous database of 20,000 images demonstrated that the proposed technique outperforms well-known approaches while still saving substantial amount of storage space, making it possible to store/search an image database of reasonable size using a few megabytes of main memory (e.g., 4 Mbytes for 100,000 images).

Effective arabic-english cross-language information retrieval via machine-readable dictionaries and machine translation
Authors: Mohammed Aljlayl, Ophir Frieder
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

In Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), queries in one language retrieve relevant documents in other languages Machine-Readable Dictionary (MRD) and Machine Translation (MT) are important resources for query translation in CLIR. We investigate MT and MRD to Arabic-English CLIR. The translation ambiguity associated with these resources is the key problem. We present three methods of query translation using a bilingual dictionary for Arabic-English CLIR. First, we present the Every-Match (EM) method. This method yields ambiguous translations since many extraneous terms are added to the original query. To disambiguate the query translation, we present the First-Match (FM) method that considers the first match in the dictionary as the candidate term. Finally, we present the Two-Phase (TP) method. We show that good retrieval effectiveness can be achieved without complex resources using the Two-Phase method for Arabic-English CLIR. We also empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the MT-based method using short, medium, and long queries from TREC. The effects of the query length on the quality of the MT-based CLIR are investigated.

Simulation based design for a shipyard manufacturing process
Authors: D. J. Medeiros, Mark Traband, April Tribble, Rebekah Lepro, Kenneth Fast, Daniel Williams
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Discrete event simulation can be used for virtual prototyping of new manufacturing facilities. Models built for this purpose must be easy to use, flexible, and provide a realistic graphical view of the proposed system. The DESTINY project has developed models of plate processing operations to assist shipyards in modernizing their plate fabrication lines. Configuration information for a proposed line is collected via a Web interface, which then launches a program to build and execute a simulation of the system. Graphics images and statistical reports are then returned to the user via the Web interface. The approach allows rapid analysis of technology improvements and a visualization of proposed system operation.

High-tech publications need old-fashioned editing
Authors: Janis Ramey, Marlene Miller
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Standard formats, familiar word choices, consistency, organization, simple graphic formats, technology, mechanics, and the global nature of the user and the media are major considerations that are often ignored when producing high-tech publications. Oversights and errors are usually corrected in print publications with conventional editing as a step in the production process. However, the authors noticed during a recent Society for Technical Communications chapter publications competition that many creators of websites, online help, and other electronic publications appear to skip the editing step when producing their documents. Applying old-fashioned editing techniques such as following a style guide, proofreading, testing links, and trying to look at a document with a fresh perspective could have made these publications winners.

Predicting nearly as well as the best pruning of a decision tree through dynamic programming scheme
Authors: Eiji Takimotoa, Akira Maruokaa, Volodya Vovk
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Helmbold and Schapire gave an on-line prediction algorithm that, when given an unpruned decision tree, produces predictions not much worse than the predictions made by the best pruning of the given decision tree. In this paper, we give two new on-line algorithms. The first algorithm is based on the observation that finding the best pruning can be efficiently solved by a dynamic programming in the "batch" setting where all the data to be predicted are given in advance. This algorithm works well for a wide class of loss functions, whereas the one given by Helmbold and Schapire is only described for the absolute loss function. Moreover, the algorithm given in this paper is so simple and general that it could be applied to many other on-line optimization problems solved by dynamic programming. We also explore the second algorithm that is competitive not only with the best pruning but also with the best prediction values which are associated with nodes in the decision tree. In this setting, a greatly simplified algorithm is given for the absolute loss function. It can be easily generalized to the case where, instead of using decision trees, data are classified in some arbitrarily fixed manner.

Introducing granularity-dependent quantitative distance and diameter measures in common-sense reasoning contexts
Authors: Maureen Donnelly
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

In this paper, I will present a method for constructing correlated series of granularity-dependent distance and diameter measures on the basis of a theory of qualitative spatial concepts. Each granularity-dependent measure function has as its range a discrete subset of R. As we proceed through a series of such functions, the distance between the values in the range will become smaller and the measurements returned by the functions will become correspondingly more precise. My method for constructing the series of functions is partially based on work in Kranz, Luce, Suppes, and Tversky, The Foundations of Measurement, Vol. 1. I use a result from that volume to prove that my series of distance and diameter measures converge to continuous, extensive distance and diameter measures. But it is the discrete measures in the series, not the continuous limit measures, that should be used in analyses of common-sense concepts. Unlike the continuous measure functions, arbitrary values for the discrete measure functions can, in most contexts, be determined through practical procedures. Moreover, the ability to move from one granularity-level to the next is appropriate for common-sense contexts in which the level of precision is typically kept at the minimum necessary to accomplish the task at hand.
Completeness of intersection and union type assignment systems for call-by-value λ-models
Authors: Hajime Ishihara, Toshihiko Kurata
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We study a version of intersection and union-type assignment system, union elimination rule of which is allowed only when subject of its major premise is a value of call-by-value &euml;-calculus. The system is shown to be sound and complete under some abstract notion of membership relation defined over simple semantics for call-by-value &beta;-models, and to be invariant under call-by-value &beta;-conversion of subjects. We prove it by constructing a filter call-by-value lgr-model. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Dataflow representation in a network database
Authors: Xuan Pham
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

Solutions to the problem of consistency and correctness of duplicate database have been tackled by many authors such as in [Elli77], [Grap76], and [Mull71]. In a network system, each update may bring up a different kind of consistency and a new proof of correctness. Data integrity and security in a concurrent environment are a big headache for the system implementor. Issues related to security and social impacts on a network system are discussed in [Denn72]. This paper attempts to use a new method, Dataflow Language, to represent the interactions in a network environment, and in doing so, the paper, hopefully, points out the consistency, and correctness of the duplicate database.
