The motor theory of speech perception revised

by Alvin M. Liberman, Ignatius G. Mattingly - Cognition , 1985
"... A motor theory of speech perception, initially proposed to account for results of early experiments with synthetic speech, is now extensively revised to accommodate recent findings, and to relate the assumptions of the theory to those that might be made about other perceptual modes. According to the ..."
Abstract - Cited by 372 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
to the revised theory, phonetic information is perceived in a biologically distinct system, a ‘module ’ specialized to detect the intended gestures of the speaker that are the basis for phonetic categories. Built into the structure of this module is the unique but lawful relationship between the gestures

Unitary Space-Time Modulation for Multiple-Antenna Communications in Rayleigh Flat Fading

by Bertrand Hochwald, Thomas Marzetta - IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory , 1998
"... Motivated by information-theoretic considerations, we propose a signalling scheme, unitary space-time modulation, for multiple-antenna communication links. This modulation is ideally suited for Rayleigh fast-fading environments, since it does not require the receiver to know or learn the propagation ..."

On the Design and Development of Program families

by David L. Parnas , 1976
"... Program families are defined (analogously to hardware families) as sets of programs whose common properties are so extensive that it is advantageous to study thecommon properties of the programs before analyzing individual members. The assumption that, ifone is to develop a set of similar programs o ..."

over a period of time, one should consider the set asawhole while developing the first three approaches to the development, is discussed. A conventional approach called "sequential development" is compared to "stepwise refinement" and "specification of information hiding

Icondensation: Unifying low-level and high-level tracking in a stochastic framework

by Michael Isard, Andrew Blake , 1998
"... . Tracking research has diverged into two camps; low-level approaches which are typically fast and robust but provide little fine-scale information, and high-level approaches which track complex deformations in high-dimensional spaces but must trade off speed against robustness. Real-time high-level ..."
Abstract - Cited by 316 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
-level systems perform poorly in clutter and initialisation for most high-level systems is either performed manually or by a separate module. This paper presents a new technique to combine low- and high-level information in a consistent probabilistic framework, using the statistical technique of importance

Geodesic Active Regions and Level Set Methods for Supervised Texture Segmentation

by Nikos Paragios, Rachid Deriche - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION , 2002
"... This paper presents a novel variational framework to deal with frame partition problems in Computer Vision. This framework exploits boundary and region-based segmentation modules under a curve-based optimization objective function. The task of supervised texture segmentation is considered to demonst ..."

A Type-Theoretic Approach to Higher-Order Modules with Sharing

by Robert Harper, Mark Lillibridge , 1994
"... The design of a module system for constructing and main- taining large programs is a difficult task that raises a number of theoretical and practical issues. A fundamental issue is the management of the flow of information between program units at compile time via the notion of an interface. Experie ..."

Earcons and icons: Their structure and common design principles

by Meera M. Blattner, Denise A. Sumikawa, Robert M. Greenberg, M. D. Anderson, Blattner Sumikawa Greenberg - in Human Computer Interaction , 1989
"... In this article we examine earcons, which are audio messages used in the user-computer interface to provide information and feedback to the user about computer entities. (Earcons include messages and functions, as well as states and labels.) We identify some design principles that are common to both ..."

Nunes Amaral. Functional cartography of complex metabolic networks

by Roger Guimerà, Luís A. Nunes Amaral - Nature , 2005
"... High-throughput techniques are leading to an explosive growth in the size of biological databases and creating the opportunity to revolutionize our understanding of life and disease. Interpretation of these data remains, however, a major scientific challenge. Here, we propose a methodology that enab ..."

that enables us to extract and display information contained in complex networks 1,2,3. Specifically, we demonstrate that one can (i) find functional modules 4,5 in complex networks, and (ii) classify nodes into universal roles according to their pattern of intra- and inter-module connections. The method thus

Specifying concurrent program modules.

by Leslie Lamport - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, , 1983
"... A method for specifying program modules in a concurrent program is described. It is based upon temporal logic, but uses new kinds of temporal assertions to make the specifications simpler and easier to understand. The semantics of the specifications is described informally, and a sequence of exampl ..."
