Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late Nineteenth Century

by N. A. Rayner, D. E. Parker, E. B. Horton, C. K. Folland, L. V. Alexander, D. P. Rowell, E. C. Kent, A. Kaplan - J. GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH , 2003

Complete discrete 2-D Gabor transforms by neural networks for image analysis and compression

by John G. Daugman , 1988
"... A three-layered neural network is described for transforming two-dimensional discrete signals into generalized nonorthogonal 2-D “Gabor” representations for image analysis, segmentation, and compression. These transforms are conjoint spatial/spectral representations [lo], [15], which provide a comp ..."

complete image description in terms of locally windowed 2-D spectral coordinates embedded within global 2-D spatial coordinates. Because intrinsic redundancies within images are extracted, the resulting image codes can be very compact. However, these conjoint transforms are inherently difficult to compute

On Global Completeness of Event Logs

by Hedong Yang, Arthur Hm Ter Hofstede, B. F. Van Dongen, Moe T, Jianmin Wang
"... Abstract. The field of process mining provides a collection of tech-niques and tools that aim to support the extraction of information out of event logs. This information may provide businesses insight into actual execution and performance of their business processes and may help iden-tify ways of i ..."

of improving these processes. While the quality of the results of the application of mining algorithms depends on the degree of complete-ness of the event log (some even assuming that the logs are complete), there is currently no approach to estimate completeness of an event log in an objective manner

Pastry: Scalable, distributed object location and routing for large-scale peer-to-peer systems

by Antony Rowstron, Peter Druschel , 2001
"... This paper presents the design and evaluation of Pastry, a scalable, distributed object location and routing scheme for wide-area peer-to-peer applications. Pastry provides application-level routing and object location in a potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet. ..."

. It can be used to support a wide range of peer-to-peer applications like global data storage, global data sharing, and naming. An insert operation in Pastry stores an object at a user-defined number of diverse nodes within the Pastry network. A lookup operation reliably retrieves a copy of the requested

Training Support Vector Machines: an Application to Face Detection

by Edgar Osuna, Robert Freund, Federico Girosi , 1997
"... We investigate the application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in computer vision. SVM is a learning technique developed by V. Vapnik and his team (AT&T Bell Labs.) that can be seen as a new method for training polynomial, neural network, or Radial Basis Functions classifiers. The decision sur ..."

surfaces are found by solving a linearly constrained quadratic programming problem. This optimization problem is challenging because the quadratic form is completely dense and the memory requirements grow with the square of the number of data points. We present a decomposition algorithm that guarantees

Routing in a Delay Tolerant Network

by Sushant Jain, Kevin Fall, Rabin Patra , 2004
"... We formulate the delay-tolerant networking routing problem, where messages are to be moved end-to-end across a connectivity graph that is time-varying but whose dynamics may be known in advance. The problem has the added constraints of finite buffers at each node and the general property that no con ..."

We find that, as expected, the algorithms using the least knowledge tend to perform poorly. We also find that with limited additional knowledge, far less than complete

Wide-area cooperative storage with CFS

by Frank Dabek, M. Frans Kaashoek, David Karger, Robert Morris, Ion Stoica , 2001
"... The Cooperative File System (CFS) is a new peer-to-peer readonly storage system that provides provable guarantees for the efficiency, robustness, and load-balance of file storage and retrieval. CFS does this with a completely decentralized architecture that can scale to large systems. CFS servers pr ..."

Each node in the Pastry network has a unique identifier (nodeId). When presented with a message and a key, a Pastry node efficiently routes the message

RACER system description
