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 ..."

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case

by Abhay K. Parekh, Robert G. Gallager - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."

Access path selection in a relational database management system

by P. Griffiths Selinger, M. M. Astrahan, D. D. Chamberlin, It. A. Lorie, T. G. Price , 1979
"... ABSTRACT: In a high level query and data manipulation language such as SQL, requests are stated non-procedurally, without reference to access paths. This paper describes how System R chooses access paths for both simple (single relation) and complex queries (such as joins), given a user specificatio ..."

Mfold web server for nucleic acid folding and hybridization prediction

by Michael Zuker - Nucleic Acids Res , 2003

The abbreviated name,‘mfold web server’,describes a number of closely related software applications available on the World Wide Web (WWW) for the prediction of the secondary structure of single stranded nucleic acids. The objective of this web server is to provide easy access to RNA and DNA folding ..."

Sequence Logos: A New Way to Display Consensus Sequences

by homas D. Schneider, Thomas D. Schneider, R. Michael Stephens - Nucleic Acids Res , 1990
"... INTRODUCTION A logo is "a single piece of type bearing two or more usually separate elements" [1]. In this paper, we use logos to display aligned sets of sequences. Sequence logos concentrate the following information into a single graphic [2]: 1. The general consensus of the sequences. ..."

Multipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees

by Laura Almasy, John Blangero - Am. J. Hum. Genet , 1998
"... Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint i ..."

chromosome for each relative pair. We have derived correlations in IBD sharing as a function of chromosomal distance for relative pairs in general pedigrees and provide a simple framework whereby these correlations can be easily obtained for any relative pair related by a single line of descent

Topic-Sensitive PageRank

by Taher Haveliwala , 2002
"... In the original PageRank algorithm for improving the ranking of search-query results, a single PageRank vector is computed, using the link structure of the Web, to capture the relative "importance" of Web pages, independent of any particular search query. To yield more accurate search resu ..."

The separation of ownership and control in East Asian Corporations

by Stijn Claessens, Simeon Djankov, Larry H. P. Lang - Journal of Financial Economics , 2000
"... We examine the separation of ownership and control for 2,980 corporations in nine East Asian countries. In all countries, voting rights frequently exceed cash-#ow rights via pyramid structures and cross-holdings. The separation of ownership and control is most pronounced among family-controlled &quo ..."

Markov Logic Networks

by Matthew Richardson, Pedro Domingos - MACHINE LEARNING , 2006
"... We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge base with a weight attached to each formula (or clause). Together with a set of constants representing objects in the ..."

The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

in five application-related domains, and found the variability to be surprisingly large. In every case two people favored the same term with probability <0.20. Simulations show how this fundamental property of language limits the success of various design methodologies for vocabulary-driven interaction
