Instance-based learning algorithms
- Machine Learning
, 1991
"... Abstract. Storing and using specific instances improves the performance of several supervised learning algorithms. These include algorithms that learn decision trees, classification rules, and distributed networks. However, no investigation has analyzed algorithms that use only specific instances to ..."

. This approach extends the nearest neighbor algorithm, which has large storage requirements. We describe how storage requirements can be significantly reduced with, at most, minor sacrifices in learning rate and classification accuracy. While the storage-reducing algorithm performs well on several realworld
Sacrifice to the Mountain A Ritual Performance of the Qiang Minority People in China
"... as a period noted for the emergence of a fully developed theatre, and the fol-lowing Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368) as the golden age of classical Chinese drama. Yet long before theatrical performances became a form of popular en-tertainment, there were religious rituals aimed at pleasing the gods and bri ..."

ritual performance by the Qiang minority people, whose history is as old as the Chi-nese civilization itself. A Brief History of the Qiang People The Qiangs claim to be the descendants of the legendary Great Yu, the hero in the Chinese flood myth and the founder of China’s first dynasty—the Xia dynasty
Animal Victims in Modern Fiction: From Sanctity to Sacrifice
"... Animals, the nonhuman varieties, have appeared as subjects in human stories since human stories began. In literary studies, this is not so. In animistic cultures, animals have always been allowed the role of protagonist, whereas in anthropocentric cultures, like our own, scholars have recast animals ..."

animals as objects, reserving center stage for the human protagonist. "The proper study of mankind is man, " Alexander Pope assured his nodding 18th century readers. One well-known 20th century critic determined that Keat's "Ode to Autumn " must be considered a minor poem since
SACRIFICE AND BUSINESS. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RITUAL AND COMMERCIAL CATTLE SLAUGHTERING
"... All over the world meat plays an important role in the nutrition of people. Mostly it is considered to be a special source of strength and health. In many peoples ' minds the consumption of animal products, such as muscle, fat, blood, inner organs and bones, is much more associated with vital s ..."

.000 inhabitants of Tenkodogo in southeast Burkina Faso are very partial to meat. The ethnic groups in the area, Mosi and Bisa, who are mainly cultivators of millet, peanuts and beans, as well as the minori-ties of Yarse traders and Fulani herdsmen, enjoy the consumption of meat products. There are several
HOW TO LOSE OVER A MILLION JOBS Sacrifice Investments to Cut Taxes for the Rich
, 2010
"... Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner recently proposed a two-step job creation plan consisting of a full extension of Bush-era tax changes and cuts to domestic spending. His plan calls on Congress to cut non-security related spending back to fiscal year 2008 levels and to enact a two-year f ..."

An Improved Transmission Strategy for Multiple Antenna Channels with Partial Feedback
, 2002
"... We investigate transmission strategies for multiple antenna systems with partial spatial information of channel available at the transmitter. A new beamforming method is proposed in which the beamforming matrix is determined from the partial spatial information in a novel but predefined way; as a re ..."

A Linear Time, Constant Space Differencing Algorithm
- In Performance, Computing, and Communication Conference (IPCCC
, 1997
"... An efficient differencing algorithm can be used to compress version of files for both transmission over low bandwidth channels and compact storage. This can greatly reduce network traffic and execution time for distributed applications which include software distribution, source code control, file s ..."

arbitrarily large input files. While the algorithm makes minor sacrifices in compression to attain linear runtime performance, it outperforms the byte-wise differencing algorithms that we have encountered in the literature on all inputs. I. INTRODUCTION Differencing algorithms compress data by taking
Assessing Affirmative Action
, 1999
"... Although the debate over Affirmative Action is both high-profile and high-intensity, neither side’s position is based on a well-established set of research findings. Economics provides an extensive, well-known literature on which to draw regarding the existence and extent of labor market discriminat ..."

Multiple Antenna Channels with Partial Channel State Information at the Transmitter
- IEEE Trans. Wireless Commun
, 2004
"... We investigate transmission strategies for flat-fading multiple antenna channels with transmit and receive antennas, and with channel state information (CSI) partially known to the transmitter. We start with an assumption that the first eigenvectors of , where 0 min( ) and is the channel matrix in , ..."

is the solution of interesting optimization problems for the optimal power allocation over the transmit symbols. The results show that the proposed methods lead to systems wherein the amount of feedback information can be significantly reduced with a minor sacrifice of achievable transmission rate.
Large-scale multi-robot task allocation via dynamic partitioning and distribution. Autonomous Robots 33(3):291–307
, 2012
"... This paper introduces an approach that scales assignment algorithms to large numbers of robots and tasks. It is especially suitable for dy-namic task allocations since both task locality and sparsity can be effec-tively exploited. We observe that an assignment can be computed through coarsening and ..."

and unnecessary repeated com-putation. An allocation results by operating on each partition: either the steps are repeated recursively to refine the generalized assignment, or each sub-problem may be solved by an existing algorithm. The results suggest that only a minor sacrifice in solution quality is needed
