Synthesis of Wiring Signature-Invariant Equivalence Class Circuit Mutants and Applications to Benchmarking

by Debabrata Ghosh, Nevin Kapur, Justin Harlow III, Franc Brglez , 1998
"... This paper formalizes the synthesis process of wiring signatur e-invariant (WSI) combinational circuit mutants. The signature 0 is defined by a reference circuit 0, which itself is modeled as a canonic alform of a directed bipartite graph. A wiring perturbation induces a perturbed reference circuit ..."

, the size of the wiring signature-invariant equivalence class is huge. Notably, circuits in this class are not random, although for un biased testing and benchmarking purp oses, mutant selections from this class are typically random. For each reference circuit, we synthesized eight equivalence subclasses

A theory of shape by space carving

by Kiriakos N. Kutulakos, Steven M. Seitz - In Proceedings of the 7th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV-99), volume I, pages 307– 314, Los Alamitos, CA , 1999
"... In this paper we consider the problem of computing the 3D shape of an unknown, arbitrarily-shaped scene from multiple photographs taken at known but arbitrarilydistributed viewpoints. By studying the equivalence class of all 3D shapes that reproduce the input photographs, we prove the existence of a ..."

Algebraic laws for nondeterminism and concurrency

by Matthew Hennessy, Robin Milner - Journal of the ACM , 1985
"... Abstract. Since a nondeterministic and concurrent program may, in general, communicate repeatedly with its environment, its meaning cannot be presented naturally as an input/output function (as is often done in the denotational approach to semantics). In this paper, an alternative is put forth. Firs ..."

. First, a definition is given of what it is for two programs or program parts to be equivalent for all observers; then two program parts are said to be observation congruent iff they are, in all program contexts, equivalent. The behavior of a program part, that is, its meaning, is defined to be its

The Theory of Hybrid Automata

by Thomas A. Henzinger , 1996
"... A hybrid automaton is a formal model for a mixed discrete-continuous system. We classify hybrid automata acoording to what questions about their behavior can be answered algorithmically. The classification reveals structure on mixed discrete-continuous state spaces that was previously studied on pur ..."

on purely discrete state spaces only. In particular, various classes of hybrid automata induce finitary trace equivalence (or similarity, or bisimilarity) relations on an uncountable state space, thus permitting the application of various model-checking techniques that were originally developed for finite

The strength of weak learnability

by Robert E. Schapire - MACHINE LEARNING , 1990
"... This paper addresses the problem of improving the accuracy of an hypothesis output by a learning algorithm in the distribution-free (PAC) learning model. A concept class is learnable (or strongly learnable) if, given access to a Source of examples of the unknown concept, the learner with high prob ..."

Static Scheduling of Synchronous Data Flow Programs for Digital Signal Processing

by Edward Ashford Lee, David G. Messerschmitt - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1987
"... Large grain data flow (LGDF) programming is natural and convenient for describing digital signal processing (DSP) systems, but its runtime overhead is costly in real time or cost-sensitive applications. In some situations, designers are not willing to squander computing resources for the sake of pro ..."
Abstract - Cited by 598 (37 self) - Add to MetaCart
flow (SDF) differs from traditional data flow in that the amount of data produced and consumed by a data flow node is specified a priori for each input and output. This is equivalent to specifying the relative sample rates in signal processing system. This means that the scheduling of SDF nodes need

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:

by Kevin P Murphy , Yair Weiss , Michael I Jordan - Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI, , 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

-limit performance of "Turbo Codes" -codes whose decoding algorithm is equivalent to loopy belief propagation in a chain-structured Bayesian network. In this paper we ask: is there something spe cial about the error-correcting code context, or does loopy propagation work as an ap proximate inference scheme

Regularization Theory and Neural Networks Architectures

by Federico Girosi, Michael Jones, Tomaso Poggio - Neural Computation , 1995
"... We had previously shown that regularization principles lead to approximation schemes which are equivalent to networks with one layer of hidden units, called Regularization Networks. In particular, standard smoothness functionals lead to a subclass of regularization networks, the well known Radial Ba ..."

The Logic of Typed Feature Structures

by Bob Carpenter, Fernando Pereira , 1992
"... Feature Structures and Path Congruences. The discussion of abstract feature structures raises a historical difficulty. While I do not dispute that the full theoretical investigation of feature structures modulo renaming is correctly attributed to Moshier, the idea of representing renaming classes b ..."

by equivalence relations over paths seems an obvious variant of the representation of such classes as deductively closed sets of path equations in Pereira and Shieber's account (1984) of the semantics of PATR-II, which is further explored in Shieber's dissertation (1989).

Ownership Types for Safe Programming: Preventing Data Races and Deadlocks

"... This paper presents a new static type system for multi-threaded programs; well-typed programs in our system are guaranteed to be free of data races and deadlocks. Our type system allows programmers to partition the locks into a fixed number of equivalence classes and specify a partial order among th ..."
