Simultaneous Multithreading: Maximizing On-Chip Parallelism

by Dean M. Tullsen , Susan J. Eggers, Henry M. Levy , 1995
"... This paper examines simultaneous multithreading, a technique permitting several independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar’s multiple functional units in a single cycle. We present several models of simultaneous multithreading and compare them with alternative organizations: a wide s ..."

Reexamining the Cluster Hypothesis: Scatter/Gather on Retrieval Results

by Marti A. Hearst, Jan O. Pedersen , 1996
"... We present Scatter/Gather, a cluster-based document browsing method, as an alternative to ranked titles for the organization and viewing of retrieval results. We systematically evaluate Scatter/Gather in this context and find significant improvements over similarity search ranking alone. This resul ..."

Limited information estimators and exogeneity tests for simultaneous probit models

by Douglas Rivers, Quang H. Vuong , 1988
"... A two-step maximum likelihood procedure is proposed for estimating simultaneous probit models and is compared to alternative limited information estimators. Conditions under which each estimator attains the Cramer-Rao lower bound are obtained. Simple tests for exogeneity based on the new two-step es ..."

Risk as Feelings

by George F. Loewenstein, Christopher K. Hsee, Elke U. Weber, Ned Welch , 2001
"... Virtually all current theories of choice under risk or uncertainty are cognitive and consequentialist. They assume that people assess the desirability and likelihood of possible outcomes of choice alternatives and integrate this information through some type of expectation-based calculus to arrive a ..."

at a decision. The authors propose an alternative theoretical perspective, the risk-as-feelings hypothesis, that highlights the role of affect experienced at the moment of decision making. Drawing on research from clinical, physiological, and other subfields of psychology, they show that emotional

Visual categorization with bags of keypoints

by Gabriella Csurka, Christopher R. Dance, Lixin Fan, Jutta Willamowski, Cédric Bray - In Workshop on Statistical Learning in Computer Vision, ECCV , 2004
"... Abstract. We present a novel method for generic visual categorization: the problem of identifying the object content of natural images while generalizing across variations inherent to the object class. This bag of keypoints method is based on vector quantization of affine invariant descriptors of im ..."

of image patches. We propose and compare two alternative implementations using different classifiers: Naïve Bayes and SVM. The main advantages of the method are that it is simple, computationally efficient and intrinsically invariant. We present results for simultaneously classifying seven semantic visual

CONDENSATION -- conditional density propagation for visual tracking

by Michael Isard, Andrew Blake , 1998
"... The problem of tracking curves in dense visual clutter is challenging. Kalman filtering is inadequate because it is based on Gaussian densities which, being unimodal, cannot represent simultaneous alternative hypotheses. The Condensation algorithm uses “factored sampling”, previously applied to th ..."

Thresholding of statistical maps in functional neuroimaging using the false discovery rate.

by Christopher R Genovese , Nicole A Lazar , Thomas Nichols - NeuroImage , 2002
"... Finding objective and effective thresholds for voxelwise statistics derived from neuroimaging data has been a long-standing problem. With at least one test performed for every voxel in an image, some correction of the thresholds is needed to control the error rates, but standard procedures for mult ..."

The English Noun Phrase in its Sentential Aspect

by Steven Paul Abney - PH.D. DISSERTATION MIT , 1987
"... This dissertation is a defense of the hypothesis that the noun phrase is headed by a functional element (i.e., "non-lexical" category) D, identified with the determiner. In this way, the structure of the noun phrase parallels that of the sentence, which is headed by Infl(ection), under ass ..."

Contour Tracking By Stochastic Propagation of Conditional Density

by Michael Isard, Andrew Blake , 1996
"... . In Proc. European Conf. Computer Vision, 1996, pp. 343--356, Cambridge, UK The problem of tracking curves in dense visual clutter is a challenging one. Trackers based on Kalman filters are of limited use; because they are based on Gaussian densities which are unimodal, they cannot represent s ..."

simultaneous alternative hypotheses. Extensions to the Kalman filter to handle multiple data associations work satisfactorily in the simple case of point targets, but do not extend naturally to continuous curves. A new, stochastic algorithm is proposed here, the Condensation algorithm --- Conditional

The emotional dog and its rational tail: a social intuitionist approach to moral judgment
