Scoring System

by G. De Jong
"... In the Netherlands three conformation traits are scored to improve the quality of legs&feet: two linear scores, for rear legs set side view and claw diagonal and one descriptive score for legs&feet, in which the locomotion of an animal is strongly weighted. Claw diagonal is a more valuable t ..."

MATRIX FACTORIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS

by Yehuda Koren, Robert Bell, Chris Volinsky - IEEE COMPUTER , 2009
"... As the Netflix Prize competition has demonstrated, matrix factorization models are superior to classic nearest-neighbor techniques for producing product recommendations, allowing the incorporation of additional information such as implicit feedback, temporal effects, and confidence levels. Modern co ..."

. Therefore, more retailers have become interested in recommender systems, which analyze patterns of user interest in products to provide personalized recommendations that suit a user’s taste. Because good personalized recommendations can add another dimension to the user experience, e-commerce leaders like

What is a hidden Markov model?

by Sean R. Eddy , 2004
"... Often, problems in biological sequence analysis are just a matter of putting the right label on each residue. In gene identification, we want to label nucleotides as exons, introns, or intergenic sequence. In sequence alignment, we want to associate residues in a query sequence with ho-mologous resi ..."

splice site consenses, codon bias, exon/intron length preferences, and open reading frame analysis all in one scoring system. How should all those parameters be set? How should different kinds of information be weighted? A second issue is being able to interpret results probabilistically. Finding a best

GroupLens: An Open Architecture for Collaborative Filtering of Netnews

by Paul Resnick, Neophytos Iacovou, Mitesh Suchak, Peter Bergstrom, John Riedl , 1994

Speaker verification using Adapted Gaussian mixture models

by Douglas A. Reynolds, Thomas F. Quatieri, Robert B. Dunn - Digital Signal Processing , 2000
"... In this paper we describe the major elements of MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based speaker verification system used successfully in several NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluations (SREs). The system is built around the likelihood ratio test for verification, using simple but ef ..."

Cumulated Gain-based Evaluation of IR Techniques

by Kalervo Järvelin, Jaana Kekäläinen - ACM Transactions on Information Systems , 2002
"... Modem large retrieval environments tend to overwhelm their users by their large output. Since all documents are not of equal relevance to their users, highly relevant documents should be identified and ranked first for presentation to the users. In order to develop IR techniques to this direction, i ..."

. Alternatively, novel measures based on graded relevance assessments may be developed. This paper proposes three novel measures that compute the cumulative gain the user obtains by examining the retrieval result up to a given ranked position. The first one accumulates the relevance scores of retrieved documents

Real-time human pose recognition in parts from single depth images

by Jamie Shotton, Andrew Fitzgibbon, Mat Cook, Toby Sharp, Mark Finocchio, Richard Moore, Alex Kipman, Andrew Blake - IN CVPR , 2011
"... We propose a new method to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, using no temporal information. We take an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler p ..."

per-pixel classification problem. Our large and highly varied training dataset allows the classifier to estimate body parts invariant to pose, body shape, clothing, etc. Finally we generate confidence-scored 3D proposals of several body joints by reprojecting the classification result and finding

comparison of two scoring systems

by Jana Brezinova, Ivana Oborna, Magda Svobodova, Helena Fingerova
"... Background: The aim of our retrospective study was to compare the clinical usefulness of two non-invasive embryo scoring systems based either on a simplified pronuclear morphology of the zygote or on early cleavage rate, as well as their combination, for the selection of embryos with the best implan ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."
