Economic analysis of social interactions

by Charles F. Manski - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES , 2000
"... Economists have long been ambivalent about whether the discipline should focus on the analysis of markets or should be concerned with social interactions more generally. Recently the discipline has sought to broaden its scope while maintaining the rigor of modern economic analysis. Major theoretical ..."

theoretical developments in game theory, the economics of the family, and endogenous growth theory have taken place. Economists have also performed new empirical research on social interactions, but the empirical literature does not show progress comparable to that achieved in economic theory. This paper

From genomics to chemical genomics: new developments in KEGG

by Minoru Kanehisa, Susumu Goto, Masahiro Hattori, Kiyoko F. Aoki-kinoshita, Masumi Itoh, Shuichi Kawashima, Toshiaki Katayama, Michihiro Araki, Mika Hirakawa - Nucleic Acids Res , 2006
"... The increasing amount of genomic and molecular information is the basis for understanding higherorder biological systems, such as the cell and the 15 organism, and their interactions with the environment, as well as for medical, industrial and other practical applications. The KEGG resource ..."

A New Location Technique for the Active Office

by Andy Ward, Alan Jones , 1997
"... Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex task that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to examine computers that would autonomously change their functionality based on observations of who or ..."

or what was around them. By determining their context, using input from sensor systems distributed throughout the environment, computing devices could personalize themselves to their current user, adapt their behavior according to their location, or react to their surroundings. The authors present a

The hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter

by Savas Dimopoulos, Gia Dvali, et al. , 2008
"... We propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor. In this framework, the gravitational and gauge interactions become united at the weak scale, which we take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature. The observed wea ..."

Interactive Graph Cuts for Optimal Boundary & Region Segmentation of Objects in N-D Images

by Yuri Y. Boykov , Marie-Pierre Jolly , 2001
"... In this paper we describe a new technique for general purpose interactive segmentation of N-dimensional images. The user marks certain pixels as “object” or “background” to provide hard constraints for segmentation. Additional soft constraints incorporate both boundary and region information. Graph ..."

Visual interpretation of hand gestures for human-computer interaction: A review

by Vladimir I. Pavlovic, Rajeev Sharma, Thomas S. Huang - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. This has motivated a very active research area conc ..."

Bricks: Laying the foundations for graspable user interfaces

by George W. Fitzmaurice , 1995
"... We introduce the concept of Graspable User Interfaces which allow direct control of electronic or virtual objects through physical handles for control. These physical artifacts are essentially new input devices which can be tightly coupled or “attached ” to virtual objects for manipulation or for ex ..."

The link-prediction problem for social networks

by David Liben-nowell, Jon Kleinberg - J. AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY , 2007
"... Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a ne ..."
