Towards automating of document structure transformations
Authors: Eila Kuikka, Paula Leinonen, Martti Penttonen
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

In this paper we develop a syntax-directed approach to transformation of documents from one structure to another. The aim is to automate a transformation between two grammars that have common parts, although the grammars and names of elements may differ. In an important case, called local transformations, the transformation can be performed by a finite state tree transducer. We propose a system that can generate a transformation semi-automatically if the user defines a matching between the elements containing the text of the document. Multiple possible translations from the target grammar can be restricted using a suitable heuristic function so that the transformation can be completed in a reasonable time period. From the generated transformation specification, it is possible to construct rules for a tree transducer or XSLT script automatically.

Rational Matrix Functions and Rank-1 Updates
Authors: Daniel S. Bernstein, Charles F. Van Loan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

Suppose f=p/q is a quotient of two polynomials and that p has degree rp and q has degree rq. Assume that f(A) and f(A+uvT) are defined where $A \in {\mathbb R}^{n \times n}$, $u \in {\mathbb R}^n$, and $v \in {\mathbb R}^n$ are given and set r = max{rp,rq). We show how to compute f(A+uvT) in O(rn2) flops assuming that f(A) is available together with an appropriate factorization of the "denominator matrix" q(A). The central result can be interpreted as a generalization of the well-known Sherman--Morrison formula. For an application we consider a Jacobian computation that arises in an inverse problem involving the matrix exponential. With certain assumptions the work required to set up the Jacobian matrix can be reduced by an order of magnitude by making effective use of the rank-1 update formulae developed in this paper.
An Adaptive Uzawa FEM for the Stokes Problem: Convergence without the Inf-Sup Condition
Authors: Eberhard Bänsch, Pedro Morin, Ricardo H. Nochetto
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We introduce and study an adaptive finite element method (FEM) for the Stokes system based on an Uzawa outer iteration to update the pressure and an elliptic adaptive inner iteration for velocity. We show linear convergence in terms of the outer iteration counter for the pairs of spaces consisting of continuous finite elements of degree k for velocity, whereas for pressure the elements can be either discontinuous of degree k-1 or continuous of degree k-1 and k. The popular Taylor--Hood family is the sole example of stable elements included in the theory, which in turn relies on the stability of the continuous problem and thus makes no use of the discrete inf-sup condition. We discuss the realization and complexity of the elliptic adaptive inner solver and provide consistent computational evidence that the resulting meshes are quasi-optimal.
Optimal Rational Functions for the Generalized Zolotarev Problem in the Complex Plane
Authors: B. Le Bailly, J. P. Thiran
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

It has been long recognized that the determination of optimal parameters for the classical alternating direction implicit (ADI) method leads to the Zolotarev problem \[ \min_{r \in R_{nn}} \frac{\max \{|r(z)|, z \in E \}}{\min \{|r(z)|, z \in F\}} \] for disjoint compact sets E, F \subseteq \mathbb{C}$, where Rnn is the collection of rational functions of order n. In the case where E and F are real intervals, it was more recently pointed out that if they have different lengths, it is of interest to generalize the foregoing problem to the set Rmn with unequal numerator degree m and denominator degree n. The object of the paper is to investigate the generalized Zolotarev problem in the complex plane. A method is proposed to construct the optimal rational function, which is then applied to the particular example of two line segments---E on the real axis, F parallel to the imaginary axis. Numerical experiments show that the improvement on the classical solution may be amazingly great. Explicit expressions are also provided for special values of data.
Belief Revision
Authors: Peter Gardenfors
Venue:  (1992)

:Belief revision is a topic of much interest in theoretical computer science and logic, and it forms a central problem in research into artificial intelligence. In simplest terms it addresses the problem of updating a database of knowledge in the light of new information and what to do in the case where new information is in conflict with something that was previously held to be true. The problem is central to the study of artificial intelligence, because an intelligent system should be able to accomodate all such cases. This book contains a collection of up-to-date research articles on belief revision and an introductory chapter that presents a survey of current research in the area and the fundamentals of the theory.

Gigabit Ethernet Networking
Authors: David Cunningham, Bill Lane, William Lane
Venue:  (1999)

:Beginning with an historical context that brings an understanding of the constraints under which Gigabit was designed, the authors will then discuss the standard reference model in some detail. They will then segue into a discussion of the Media Access Control for Gigabit Ethernet. From here, the authors will discuss repeaters and switches in the Gigabit architecture. Switching is critical for any bandwidth as large as one billion bits per second. The authors then begin a discussion of baseband transmission from which they move on to an explanation of the various physical sub-layers including copper and optical media. For long distances, Gigabit transmission will depend heavily on fiber optic media to deliver the necessary signal quality. The authors are experts in this area and will discuss optical transmission issues in some detail. Finally, the authors will discuss various application examples for the Gigabit technology including Gigabit in a hybrid network that includes 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), ATM, and Fiber Channel. The examples also consider Gigabit Ethernet and Quality of Service, plus cabling for Gigabit LANs and other installation issues. Gigabit Ethernet is a rapidly advancing technology that will increase network traffic speeds by a factor of 10. It is of critical importance to the vast majority of corporate network engineers and administrators Gigabit Ethernet is the definitive work from the authors of the specification Gigabit Ethernet will give the reader an unparalleled depth of understanding for this technology

Learning to win process-control games watching game-masters
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

The present paper focuses on some interesting classes of process-control games, where winning essentially means successfully controlling the process. A master for one of these games is an agent who plays a winning strategy. In this paper we investigate situations in which even a complete model (given by a program) of a particular game does not provide enough information to synthesize&mdash;even incrementally&mdash; a winning strategy. However, if in addition to getting a program, a machine may also watch masters play winning strategies, then the machine is able to incrementally learn a winning strategy for the given game. Studied are successful learning from arbitrary masters and from pedagogically useful selected masters. It is shown that selected masters are strictly more helpful for learning than are arbitrary masters. Both for learning from arbitrary masters and for learning from selected masters, though, there are cases where one can learn programs for winning strategies from masters but not if one is required to learn a program for the master's strategy itself. Both for learning from arbitrary masters and for learning from selected masters, one can learn strictly more by watching m+1 masters than one can learn by watching only m. Last, a simulation result is presented where the presence of a selected master reduces the complexity from infinitely many semantic mind changes to finitely many syntactic ones.

Using marking menus to develop command sets for computer vision based hand gesture interfaces
Authors: Sören Lenman, Lars Bretzner, Björn Thuresson
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

This paper presents the first stages of a project that studies the use of hand gestures for interaction, in an approach based on computer vision. A first prototype for exploring the use of marking menus for interaction has been built. The purpose is not menu-based interaction per se, but to study if marking menus, with practice, could support the development of autonomous command sets for gestural interaction. Some early observations are reported, mainly concerning problems with user fatigue and precision of gestures. Future work is discussed, such as introducing flow menus for reducing fatigue, and control menus for continuous control functions. The computer vision algorithms will also have to be developed further.

As a result, SC 24 called an organizational meeting for October 1-4, 1999 in Alexandria, VA, to form a new working group and begin the development of this standard. In addition, a series of other meetings have been held to discuss coordination of spatial standardization among the many interested parties, including JTC I, ISO TC 211, the SEDRIS Organization and the Open GIS Consortium.
On the Convergence of the Central Path in Semidefinite Optimization
Authors: M. Halická, E. de Klerk, C. Roos
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

The central path in linear optimization always converges to the analytic center of the optimal set. This result was extended to semidefinite optimization in [D. Goldfarb and K. Scheinberg, SIAM J. Optim., 8 (1998), pp. 871--886]. In this paper we show that this latter result is not correct in the absence of strict complementarity. We provide a counterexample, where the central path converges to a different optimal solution. This unexpected result raises many questions. We also give a short proof that the central path always converges in semidefinite optimization by using ideas from algebraic geometry.
