Supporting public health priorities: recommendations for physical education and physical activity promotion in schools. <=SEP=> Physical activity (PA) provides numerous physiological and psychosocial benefits. However, lifestyle changes, including reduced PA opportunities in multiple settings, have resulted in an escalation of overweight and obesity and related health problems. Poor physical and mental health, including metabolic and cardiovascular problems is seen in progressively younger ages, and the systematic decline in school PA has contributed to this trend. Of note, the crowded school curriculum with an intense focus on academic achievement, lack of school leadership support, funding and resources, plus poor quality teaching are barriers to PA promotion in schools. The school setting and physical educators in particular, must embrace their role in public health by adopting a comprehensive school PA program. We provide an overview of key issues and challenges in the area plus best bets and recommendations for physical education and PA promotion in the school system moving forward.

Integrating movement in academic classrooms: understanding, applying and advancing the knowledge base. <=SEP=> In the context of comprehensive and coordinated approaches to school health, academic classrooms have gained attention as a promising setting for increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary time among children. The aims of this paper are to review the rationale and knowledge base related to movement integration in academic classrooms, consider the practical applications of current knowledge to interventions and teacher education, and suggest directions for future research. Specifically, this paper (i) situates movement integration amid policy and research related to children's health and the school as a health-promoting environment; (ii) highlights the benefits of movement integration; (iii) summarizes movement integration programs and interventions; (iv) examines factors associated with classroom teachers' movement integration; (v) offers strategies for translating research to practice and (vi) forwards recommendations for future inquiry related to the effectiveness and sustainability of efforts to integrate movement into classroom routines. This paper provides a comprehensive resource for developing state-of-the-art initiatives to maximize children's movement in academic classrooms as a key strategy for important goals in both education and public health.

The “ What ” and “ Why ” of Goal Pursuits : Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior <=SEP=> Self-determination theory (SDT) maintains that an understanding of human motivation requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. We discuss the SDT concept of needs as it relates to previous need theories, emphasizing that needs specify the necessary conditions for psychological growth, integrity, and well-being. This concept of needs leads to the hypotheses that different regulatory processes underlying goal pursuits are differentially associated with effective functioning and well-being and also that different goal contents have different relations to the quality of behavior and mental health, specifically because different regulatory processes and different goal contents are associated with differing degrees of need satisfaction. Social contexts and individual differences that support satisfaction of the basic needs facilitate natural growth processes including intrinsically motivated behavior and integration of extrinsic motivations, whereas those that forestall autonomy, competence, or relatedness are associated with poorer motivation, performance, and well-being. We also discuss the relation of the psychological needs to cultural values, evolutionary processes, and other contemporary motivation theories.

Barriers to Providing Physical Education and Physical Activity in Victorian State Secondary Schools <=SEP=> An on-line questionnaire was completed by 115 physical education teachers to establish the barriers to their implementation of physical education in Victorian state secondary schools. In addition, the barriers perceived by teachers to impact on students’ participation in school-based physical education and physical activity were examined. The barriers to the provision of physical education were found to be largely institutional, although two-thirds of respondents recognised their own difficulties in engaging students when teaching as potential obstacles to student participation. Students were also perceived to be influenced by their own (45 per cent) and their peers (62 per cent) low levels of interest when choosing to participate. An awareness of these barriers has implications for physical education teaching, curriculum design, teacher training and adolescent participation in the school environment.

Self-efficacy: toward a unifying theory of behavioral change. <=SEP=> The present article presents an integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment. This theory states that psychological procedures, whatever their form, alter the level and strength of self-efficacy. It is hypothesized that expectations of personal efficacy determine whether coping behavior will be initiated, how much effort will be expended, and how long it will be sustained in the face of obstacles and aversive experiences. Persistence in activities that are subjectively threatening but in fact relatively safe produces, through experiences of mastery, further enhancement of self-efficacy and corresponding reductions in defensive behavior. In the proposed model, expectations of personal efficacy are derived from four principal sources of information: performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological states. The more dependable the experiential sources, the greater are the changes in perceived selfefficacy. A number of factors are identified as influencing the cognitive processing of efficacy information arising from enactive, vicarious, exhortative, and emotive sources. The differential power of diverse therapeutic procedures is analyzed in terms of the postulated cognitive mechanism of operation. Findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive modes of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes. Possible directions for further research are discussed.

Web-Based Ontology Languages and its Based Description Logics <=SEP=> The main object of semantic web languages is to add semantics to the existing information on the Web. These web languages have been developed to represent or express ontologies. Therefore, these description languages provide richer constructors for forming complex class expressions and axioms. An ontology is expressed in a knowledge representation language, which provides a formal frame of semantics. Since description logic is the basis of most ontology language, it is appropriate to explain briefly the base of the description to understand the ontology language clearly. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief survey of state-of-the-art ontology languages which are used to express ontology over the Web is provided. Also the gaol of this paper is to provide a basic understanding of ontologies and description logics, which are the basis of ontology languages.

Smurf-based Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack Amplification in Internet <=SEP=> The Smurf-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is an amplification attack where the attacker uses unprotected intermediate networks to amplify the attack traffic load and direct it to the victim computer. In this paper, we investigate the factors that contribute to the amplification of the smurf attack traffic and understand the relation among the original attack traffic, intermediate unprotected network and the final amplified attack traffic. We also define a new term called attack amplification factor which represents the degree of amplification that original attack traffic undergoes during its transmission towards the victim computer. It is also shown in this paper that utilizing this attack, it is possible for an attacker to just use a dialup modem and an unprotected intermediary network to exhaust even an ultra high speed optical line such as OC-192 of the victim network.

An Attention-based Regression Model for Grounding Textual Phrases in Images <=SEP=> Grounding, or localizing, a textual phrase in an image is a challenging problem that is integral to visual language understanding. Previous approaches to this task typically make use of candidate region proposals, where end performance depends on that of the region proposal method and additional computational costs are incurred. In this paper, we treat grounding as a regression problem and propose a method to directly identify the region referred to by a textual phrase, eliminating the need for external candidate region prediction. Our approach uses deep neural networks to combine image and text representations and refines the target region with attention models over both image subregions and words in the textual phrase. Despite the challenging nature of this task and sparsity of available data, in evaluation on the ReferIt dataset, our proposed method achieves a new state-of-the-art in performance of 37.26% accuracy, surpassing the previously reported best by over 5 percentage points. We find that combining image and text attention models and an image attention area-sensitive loss function contribute to substantial improvements.

Intelligent book positioning for library using RFID and book spine matching <=SEP=> In library, the management of books is very complication and timing costing. The location of books could be altered by librarian, students, teachers and any one around the library. Therefore, allocating a book is not an easy task in big library. Indoor positioning is an important technology to help storage management and customer services providing. RFID provides a good wireless platform to facilitate indoor positioning. However, duo to the small width of each book spine, adopting positioning based RFID alone is not enough to locate books in a library. In this work, we combine image matching with L-GEM based RBFNN to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the book locating system. We apply this new method in a library environment to position the certain books. Experimental results show that the proposed method is highly accurate and robust to white noise of RFID signals.

An expanding reference library for Peer-to-Peer content <=SEP=> Many Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have emerged as scalable platforms for enabling file-sharing and content-distribution applications. Due to their reliance on decentralized models encompassing millions of users, P2P networks are subjected to being infested with contraband material, copyright infringing content, as well as malicious viruses and programs. Moreover, the dynamics involved as users join and leave these networks make investigating them quite complex and time-dependent. To that end, this paper presents PxP, a tool that creates an expanding reference library for content that appears on P2P networks. PxP continuously searches the P2P networks for new files, downloads and fingerprints them, deletes them, and add their meta data to a public reference library. We envision that this library will aid investigators in criminal investigations that involve contraband material, civil investigations with copyright infringement content. In addition, this library can be used to speed up forensics examination of media through skipping over some of the files shared on P2P networks and in validating carving tools. We assess the performance of our framework through analysis, simulations and real experiments for content collected from the Gnutella P2P network.

An efficient sparse metric learning in high-dimensional space via l1-penalized log-determinant regularization <=SEP=> This paper proposes an efficient sparse metric learning algorithm in high dimensional space via an l1-penalized log-determinant regularization. Compare to the most existing distance metric learning algorithms, the proposed algorithm exploits the sparsity nature underlying the intrinsic high dimensional feature space. This sparsity prior of learning distance metric serves to regularize the complexity of the distance model especially in the "less example number p and high dimension d" setting. Theoretically, by analogy to the covariance estimation problem, we find the proposed distance learning algorithm has a consistent result at rate O (√m2 log d)/n) to the target distance matrix with at most m nonzeros per row. Moreover, from the implementation perspective, this l1-penalized log-determinant formulation can be efficiently optimized in a block coordinate descent fashion which is much faster than the standard semi-definite programming which has been widely adopted in many other advanced distance learning algorithms. We compare this algorithm with other state-of-the-art ones on various datasets and competitive results are obtained.

An Evaluation of Space Time Cube Representation of Spatiotemporal Patterns <=SEP=> Space time cube representation is an information visualization technique where spatiotemporal data points are mapped into a cube. Information visualization researchers have previously argued that space time cube representation is beneficial in revealing complex spatiotemporal patterns in a data set to users. The argument is based on the fact that both time and spatial information are displayed simultaneously to users, an effect difficult to achieve in other representations. However, to our knowledge the actual usefulness of space time cube representation in conveying complex spatiotemporal patterns to users has not been empirically validated. To fill this gap, we report on a between-subjects experiment comparing novice users' error rates and response times when answering a set of questions using either space time cube or a baseline 2D representation. For some simple questions, the error rates were lower when using the baseline representation. For complex questions where the participants needed an overall understanding of the spatiotemporal structure of the data set, the space time cube representation resulted in on average twice as fast response times with no difference in error rates compared to the baseline. These results provide an empirical foundation for the hypothesis that space time cube representation benefits users analyzing complex spatiotemporal patterns.

Noise cancellation in cognitive radio systems: A performance comparison of evolutionary algorithms <=SEP=> Noise cancellation is one of the important signal processing functions of any communication system, as noise affects data integrity. In existing systems, traditional filters are used to cancel the noise from the received signals. These filters use fixed hardware which is capable of filtering specific frequency or a range of frequencies. However, next generation communication technologies, such as cognitive radio, will require the use of adaptive filters that can dynamically reconfigure their filtering parameters for any frequency. To this end, a few noise cancellation techniques have been proposed, including least mean squares (LMS) and its variants. However, these algorithms are susceptible to non-linear noise and fail to locate the global optimum solution for de-noising. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of two global search optimization based algorithms, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization in performing noise cancellation in cognitive radio systems. These algorithms are implemented and their performances are compared to that of LMS using bit error rate and mean square error as performance evaluation metrics. Simulations are performed with additive white Gaussian noise and random nonlinear noise. Results indicate that GA and PSO perform better than LMS for the case of AWGN corrupted signal but for non-linear random noise PSO outperforms the other two algorithms.

k-Nearest Neighbor Augmented Neural Networks for Text Classification <=SEP=> In recent years, many deep-learning based models are proposed for text classification. This kind of models well fits the training set from the statistical point of view. However, it lacks the capacity of utilizing instance-level information from individual instances in the training set. In this work, we propose to enhance neural network models by allowing them to leverage information from k-nearest neighbor (kNN) of the input text. Our model employs a neural network that encodes texts into text embeddings. Moreover, we also utilize k-nearest neighbor of the input text as an external memory, and utilize it to capture instance-level information from the training set. The final prediction is made based on features from both the neural network encoder and the kNN memory. Experimental results on several standard benchmark datasets show that our model outperforms the baseline model on all the datasets, and it even beats a very deep neural network model (with 29 layers) in several datasets. Our model also shows superior performance when training instances are scarce, and when the training set is severely unbalanced. Our model also leverages techniques such as semi-supervised training and transfer learning quite well.

Active intelligent antenna system for car2car <=SEP=> In this paper an innovative antenna system for car2car applications is described. The antenna system is based on an active antenna module containing the antennas as well as the complete car2car chip hardware and software. This module is very small, so that it can be integrated e.g. into a shark fin antenna on the cars rooftop. Moreover additional modules can be mounted somewhere else in the car and connected with the main module via Ethernet. This allows high flexibility and re-configurability of the system. Two test cars have been equipped with the new car2car demonstrator systems and measurements have been performed in the 3D measurement chamber as well as in dynamic outdoor scenarios. The new system shows excellent performance in measurements and field trials.

GenomeGraphs: integrated genomic data visualization with R <=SEP=> Biological studies involve a growing number of distinct high-throughput experiments to characterize samples of interest. There is a lack of methods to visualize these different genomic datasets in a versatile manner. In addition, genomic data analysis requires integrated visualization of experimental data along with constantly changing genomic annotation and statistical analyses. We developed GenomeGraphs, as an add-on software package for the statistical programming environment R, to facilitate integrated visualization of genomic datasets. GenomeGraphs uses the biomaRt package to perform on-line annotation queries to Ensembl and translates these to gene/transcript structures in viewports of the grid graphics package. This allows genomic annotation to be plotted together with experimental data. GenomeGraphs can also be used to plot custom annotation tracks in combination with different experimental data types together in one plot using the same genomic coordinate system. GenomeGraphs is a flexible and extensible software package which can be used to visualize a multitude of genomic datasets within the statistical programming environment R.

The effect of construal level on subjective probability estimates. <=SEP=> In a series of studies, we examined novel predictions drawn from a conceptualization of probability as psychological distance. Manipulating construal level in a number of different ways and examining a variety of probability judgments, we found that participants led to adopt a high-level-construal mind-set made lower probability assessments than did those led to adopt a low-level-construal mind-set. Moreover, this occurred even when construal level was manipulated in a context separate from the judgment task and the manipulation was unrelated in content to the events being judged. These findings suggest that broad processing variables can exert a widespread influence on probability judgment.

Auto-directed video stabilization with robust L1 optimal camera paths <=SEP=> We present a novel algorithm for automatically applying constrainable, L1-optimal camera paths to generate stabilized videos by removing undesired motions. Our goal is to compute camera paths that are composed of constant, linear and parabolic segments mimicking the camera motions employed by professional cinematographers. To this end, our algorithm is based on a linear programming framework to minimize the first, second, and third derivatives of the resulting camera path. Our method allows for video stabilization beyond the conventional filtering of camera paths that only suppresses high frequency jitter. We incorporate additional constraints on the path of the camera directly in our algorithm, allowing for stabilized and retargeted videos. Our approach accomplishes this without the need of user interaction or costly 3D reconstruction of the scene, and works as a post-process for videos from any camera or from an online source.

Prediction , operations , and condition monitoring in wind energy <=SEP=> Recent developments in wind energy research including wind speed prediction, wind turbine control, operations of hybrid power systems, as well as condition monitoring and fault detection are surveyed. Approaches based on statistics, physics, and data mining for wind speed prediction at different time scales are reviewed. Comparative analysis of prediction results reported in the literature is presented. Studies of classical and intelligent control of wind turbines involving different objectives and strategies are reported. Models for planning operations of different hybrid power systems including wind generation for various objectives are addressed. Methodologies for condition monitoring and fault detection are discussed. Future research directions in wind energy are proposed. 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Learning Graphical State Transitions <=SEP=> Graph-structured data is important in modeling relationships between multiple entities, and can be used to represent states of the world as well as many data structures. Li et al. (2016) describe a model known as a Gated Graph Sequence Neural Network (GGS-NN) that produces sequences from graph-structured input. In this work I introduce the Gated Graph Transformer Neural Network (GGTNN), an extension of GGS-NNs that uses graph-structured data as an intermediate representation. The model can learn to construct and modify graphs in sophisticated ways based on textual input, and also to use the graphs to produce a variety of outputs. For example, the model successfully learns to solve almost all of the bAbI tasks (Weston et al., 2016), and also discovers the rules governing graphical formulations of a simple cellular automaton and a family of Turing machines.

Understanding Image and Text Simultaneously: a Dual Vision-Language Machine Comprehension Task <=SEP=> We introduce a new multi-modal task for computer systems, posed as a combined vision-language comprehension challenge: identifying the most suitable text describing a scene, given several similar options. Accomplishing the task entails demonstrating comprehension beyond just recognizing “keywords” (or key-phrases) and their corresponding visual concepts. Instead, it requires an alignment between the representations of the two modalities that achieves a visually-grounded “understanding” of various linguistic elements and their dependencies. This new task also admits an easy-to-compute and well-studied metric: the accuracy in detecting the true target among the decoys. The paper makes several contributions: an effective and extensible mechanism for generating decoys from (humancreated) image captions; an instance of applying this mechanism, yielding a large-scale machine comprehension dataset (based on the COCO images and captions) that we make publicly available; human evaluation results on this dataset, informing a performance upper-bound; and several baseline and competitive learning approaches that illustrate the utility of the proposed task and dataset in advancing both image and language comprehension. We also show that, in a multi-task learning setting, the performance on the proposed task is positively correlated with the endto-end task of image captioning.

Scheduling a Major College Basketball Conference - Revisited <=SEP=> Nemhauser and Trick presented the problem of finding a timetable for the 1997/98 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in basketball. Their solution, found with a combination of integer programming and exhaustive enumeration, was accepted by the ACC. Finite-domain constraint programming is another programming technique that can be used for solving combinatorial search problems such as sports tournament scheduling. This paper presents a solution of round robin tournament planning based on finite-domain constraint programming. The approach yields a dramatic performance improvement, which makes an integrated interactive software solution feasible.

Collection, exploration and analysis of crowdfunding social networks <=SEP=> Crowdfunding is a recent financing phenomenon that is gaining wide popularity as a means for startups to raise seed funding for their companies. This paper presents our initial results at understanding this phenomenon using an exploratory data driven approach. We have developed a big data platform for collecting and managing data from multiple sources, including company profiles (CrunchBase and AngelList) and social networks (Facebook and Twitter). We describe our data collection process that allows us to gather data from diverse sources at high throughput. Using Spark as our analysis tool, we study the impact of social engagement on startup fund raising success. We further define novel metrics that allow us to quantify the behavior of investors to follow and make investment decisions as communities rather than individuals. Finally, we explore visualization techniques that allow us to visualize communities of investors that make decisions in a close-knit fashion vs looser communities where investors largely make independent decisions. We conclude with a discussion on our ongoing research on causality analysis and new community detection algorithms.

Exploiting Emoticons in Polarity Classification of Text <=SEP=> With people increasingly using emoticons in written text on the Web in order to express, stress, or disambiguate their sentiment, it is crucial for automated sentiment analysis tools to correctly account for such graphical cues for sentiment. We analyze how emoticons typically convey sentiment and we subsequently propose and evaluate a novel method for exploiting this with a manually created emoticon sentiment lexicon in a lexicon-based polarity classification method. We evaluate our approach on 2,080 Dutch tweets and forum messages, which all contain emoticons. We validate our findings on 10,069 English reviews of apps, some of which contain emoticons. We find that accounting for the sentiment conveyed by emoticons on a paragraph level – and, to a lesser extent, on a sentence level – significantly improves polarity classification performance. Whenever emoticons are used, their associated sentiment tends to dominate the sentiment conveyed by textual cues and forms a good proxy for the polarity of text.

Full-Bridge+SRT Hybrid DC/DC Converter for a 6.6-kW EV On-Board Charger <=SEP=> This paper suggests a hybrid pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) dc/dc converter for an electric vehicle (EV) on-board charger (OBC). It is composed of a full-bridge (FB) converter and a resonant converter with secondary resonance tank (SRT). They are coupled in a single transformer so that any power distribution problem that causes a size increase in the transformer can be solved. Dual power flow of the proposed charger provides an increase in charger gain and a reduction of turn-off voltage spikes of the rectifying diodes caused by transformer leakage inductance and diode junction capacitance. These characteristics help reduce diode loss and remove dissipative snubber circuitry. In addition, this structure has the additional advantage of output inductor size due to the reduction of voltage variation applied to the inductor. The feasibility of the proposed charger is verified with a 6.6-kW prototype implemented by a design procedure.

Improving Relation Extraction by Pre-trained Language Representations <=SEP=> Current state-of-the-art relation extraction methods typically rely on a set of lexical, syntactic, and semantic features, explicitly computed in a pre-processing step. Training feature extraction models requires additional annotated language resources, which severely restricts the applicability and portability of relation extraction to novel languages. Similarly, pre-processing introduces an additional source of error. To address these limitations, we introduce TRE, a Transformer for Relation Extraction. Unlike previous relation extraction models, TRE uses pre-trained deep language representations instead of explicit linguistic features to inform the relation classification and combines it with the self-attentive Transformer architecture to effectively model long-range dependencies between entity mentions. TRE allows us to learn implicit linguistic features solely from plain text corpora by unsupervised pre-training, before fine-tuning the learned language representations on the relation extraction task. TRE obtains a new state-of-the-art result on the TACRED and SemEval 2010 Task 8 datasets, achieving a test F1 of 67.4 and 87.1, respectively. Furthermore, we observe a significant increase in sample efficiency. With only 20% of the training examples, TRE matches the performance of our baselines and our model trained from scratch on 100% of the TACRED dataset. We open-source our trained models, experiments, and source code.

Pronoun Translation and Prediction with or without Coreference Links <=SEP=> The Idiap NLP Group has participated in both DiscoMT 2015 sub-tasks: pronounfocused translation and pronoun prediction. The system for the first sub-task combines two knowledge sources: grammatical constraints from the hypothesized coreference links, and candidate translations from an SMT decoder. The system for the second sub-task avoids hypothesizing a coreference link, and uses instead a large set of source-side and target-side features from the noun phrases surrounding the pronoun to train a pronoun predictor.

Learning Simpler Language Models with the Delta Recurrent Neural Network Framework <=SEP=> Learning useful information across long time lags is a critical and difficult problem for temporal neural models in tasks like language modeling. Existing architectures that address the issue are often complex and costly to train. The Delta Recurrent Neural Network (Delta-RNN) framework is a simple and highperforming design that unifies previously proposed gated neural models. The DeltaRNN models maintain longer-term memory by learning to interpolate between a fast-changing data-driven representation and a slowly changing, implicitly stable state. This requires hardly any more parameters than a classical simple recurrent network. In language modeling at the word and character levels, the models outperform popular complex architectures, such as the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and, when regularized, perform comparably to several state-of-the-art baselines. At the subword level, we find the Delta-RNN’s performance to be comparable to that of complex gated architectures.

Modified reduced switch symmetrical multilevel inverter <=SEP=> Multilevel inverters (MLI) are widely used at the range of high voltage and high power for industrial applications. It is because of low harmonic distortion, less electromagnetic interference and upper range of dc link voltages. But the following type of inverter has few disadvantages like difficulty in voltage balancing, higher number of components and complexity in pulse width modulation control method. Objective of this paper is to compare the existing topologies by designing a 7-level modified reduced switch symmetrical MLI (MRSMLI) with five switches and same voltage sources in each level. Simulation and comparison of seven-level seven-switch, seven-level six-switch and seven-level five-switch MLI will be done using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The results obtained from a five-switch MLI will be verified with FFT Analysis design of seven-switch MLI. Output obtained will be then utilized for control of an induction motor. Simulation results will be verified by designing hardware setup of the proposed MRSMLI.

Searchable Encryption over Feature-Rich Data <=SEP=> Storage services allow data owners to store their huge amount of potentially sensitive data, such as audios, images, and videos, on remote cloud servers in encrypted form. To enable retrieval of encrypted files of interest, searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) schemes have been proposed. However, many schemes construct indexes based on keyword-file pairs and focus on boolean expressions of exact keyword matches. Moreover, most dynamic SSE schemes cannot achieve forward privacy and reveal unnecessary information when updating the encrypted databases. We tackle the challenge of supporting large-scale similarity search over encrypted feature-rich multimedia data, by considering the search criteria as a high-dimensional feature vector instead of a keyword. Our solutions are built on carefully-designed fuzzy Bloom filters which utilize locality sensitive hashing (LSH) to encode an index associating the file identifiers and feature vectors. Our schemes are proven to be secure against adaptively chosen query attack and forward private in the standard model. We have evaluated the performance of our scheme on real-world high-dimensional datasets, and achieved a search quality of 99 percent recall with only a few number of hash tables for LSH. This shows that our index is compact and searching is not only efficient but also accurate.
