Iterative decoding of binary block and convolutional codes
- IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY
, 1996
"... Iterative decoding of two-dimensional systematic convolutional codes has been termed “turbo” (de)coding. Using log-likelihood algebra, we show that any decoder can he used which accepts soft inputs-including a priori values-and delivers soft outputs that can he split into three terms: the soft chann ..."

The FF planning system: Fast plan generation through heuristic search
- Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
, 2001
"... We describe and evaluate the algorithmic techniques that are used in the FF planning system. Like the HSP system, FF relies on forward state space search, using a heuristic that estimates goal distances by ignoring delete lists. Unlike HSP's heuristic, our method does not assume facts to be ind ..."

Comparison of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Empirical Results
, 2000
"... In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in conver ..."

DART: Directed automated random testing
- In Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI
, 2005
"... We present a new tool, named DART, for automatically testing software that combines three main techniques: (1) automated extraction of the interface of a program with its external environment using static source-code parsing; (2) automatic generation of a test driver for this interface that performs ..."

Power-law distributions in empirical data
- ISSN 00361445. doi: 10.1137/ 070710111. URL http://dx.doi.org/10.1137/070710111
, 2009
"... Power-law distributions occur in many situations of scientific interest and have significant consequences for our understanding of natural and man-made phenomena. Unfortunately, the empirical detection and characterization of power laws is made difficult by the large fluctuations that occur in the t ..."

in the tail of the distribution. In particular, standard methods such as least-squares fitting are known to produce systematically biased estimates of parameters for power-law distributions and should not be used in most circumstances. Here we describe statistical techniques for making accurate parameter
Raptor codes
- IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
, 2006
"... LT-Codes are a new class of codes introduced in [1] for the purpose of scalable and fault-tolerant distribution of data over computer networks. In this paper we introduce Raptor Codes, an extension of LT-Codes with linear time encoding and decoding. We will exhibit a class of universal Raptor codes: ..."

, and the original symbols are recovered from the collected ones with O(k log(1/ε)) operations. We will also introduce novel techniques for the analysis of the error probability of the decoder for finite length Raptor codes. Moreover, we will introduce and analyze systematic versions of Raptor codes, i.e., versions
Automating the Design of Graphical Presentations of Relational Information
- ACM Transactions on Graphics
, 1986
"... The goal of the research described in this paper is to develop an application-independent presentation tool that automatically designs effective graphical presentations (such as bar charts, scatter plots, and connected graphs) of relational information. Two problems are raised by this goal: The codi ..."

A wide variety of designs can be systematically generated by using a composition algebra that composes a small set of primitive graphical languages. Artificial intelligence techniques are used to implement a prototype presentation
Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 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 ..."

If, however, it turns out that there are general and inevitable decreases in activation over time regardless of how
Pivoted Document Length Normalization

We show that the retrievaf probabilities for a particular normalization method deviate systematically from the relevance probabilities across
