Behavior recognition via sparse spatio-temporal features
- In VS-PETS
, 2005
"... A common trend in object recognition is to detect and leverage the use of sparse, informative feature points. The use of such features makes the problem more manageable while providing increased robustness to noise and pose variation. In this work we develop an extension of these ideas to the spatio ..."

The Great Reversals: The Politics of Financial Development in the Twentieth Century
- JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS
, 2003
"... The state of development of the financial sector does not change monotonically over time. In particular, by most measures, countries were more financially developed in 1913 than in 1980 and only recently have they surpassed their 1913 levels. To explain these changes, we propose an interest group ..."

New results in linear filtering and prediction theory
- TRANS. ASME, SER. D, J. BASIC ENG
, 1961
"... A nonlinear differential equation of the Riccati type is derived for the covariance matrix of the optimal filtering error. The solution of this "variance equation " completely specifies the optimal filter for either finite or infinite smoothing intervals and stationary or nonstationary sta ..."

statistics. The variance equation is closely related to the Hamiltonian (canonical) differential equations of the calculus of variations. Analytic solutions are available in some cases. The significance of the variance equation is illustrated by examples which duplicate, simplify, or extend earlier results
Trade Liberalization, Exit, and Productivity Improvements: Evidence from Chilean Plants
- Review of Economic Studies
, 2002
"... This paper empirically investigates the effects of liberalized trade on plant productivity in the case of Chile. Chile presents an interesting setting to study this relationship since it underwent a massive trade liberalization that significantly exposed its plants to competition from abroad during ..."

ATOMIC DECOMPOSITION BY BASIS PURSUIT
, 1995
"... The Time-Frequency and Time-Scale communities have recently developed a large number of overcomplete waveform dictionaries -- stationary wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, chirplets, and warplets, to name a few. Decomposition into overcomplete systems is not unique, and several methods for d ..."

the smallest l 1 norm of coefficients among all such decompositions. We give examples exhibiting several advantages over MOF, MP and BOB, including better sparsity, and super-resolution. BP has interesting relations to ideas in areas as diverse as ill-posed problems, in abstract harmonic analysis, total
Featherweight Java: A Minimal Core Calculus for Java and GJ
- ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems
, 1999
"... Several recent studies have introduced lightweight versions of Java: reduced languages in which complex features like threads and reflection are dropped to enable rigorous arguments about key properties such as type safety. We carry this process a step further, omitting almost all features of the fu ..."

A proof of type safety for Featherweight Java thus illustrates many of the interesting features of a safety proof for the full language, while remaining pleasingly compact
A Survey on Transfer Learning
"... A major assumption in many machine learning and data mining algorithms is that the training and future data must be in the same feature space and have the same distribution. However, in many real-world applications, this assumption may not hold. For example, we sometimes have a classification task i ..."

in one domain of interest, but we only have sufficient training data in another domain of interest, where the latter data may be in a different feature space or follow a different data distribution. In such cases, knowledge transfer, if done successfully, would greatly improve the performance of learning
Superficial Palmer Arch: Some Interesting Variations
"... Abstract The superficial palmer arch is formed by superficial division of ulnar artery and completed on radial side by either of the superficial palmar branch of radial artery, arteriaprincepspollicis, arteriaradialisindicis or arterianervimediana. It may be incomplete at times. It lies beneath the ..."

The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

For example, hedge funds often take highly levered positions in corporate bonds while hedging away interest rate risk by shorting
Meme-tracking and the Dynamics of the News Cycle
, 2009
"... Tracking new topics, ideas, and “memes” across the Web has been an issue of considerable interest. Recent work has developed methods for tracking topic shifts over long time scales, as well as abrupt spikes in the appearance of particular named entities. However, these approaches are less well suite ..."
