How long, O Bayesian network, will I sample thee? A program analysis perspective on expected sampling times

Bayesian networks (BNs) are probabilistic graphical models for describing complex joint probability distributions. The main problem for BNs is inference: Determine the probability of an event given observed evidence. Since exact inference is often infeasible for large BNs, popular approximate inference methods rely on sampling. We study the problem of determining the expected time to obtain a s...

Extra-Retinal Vision: Firing at Will

Recent evidence suggests that a key visual motion centre in the brain ignores extra-retinal motor information concerning reflexive eye movement. Instead it seems that neurons sensitive to oculomotor actions in this area fire at will.

Shall I compare thee? Simile understanding and semantic categories

The purpose of this article is to present a few research findings on the process of understanding simile, where special attention was given to the semantic relationship between its three major components: Tenor (hereafter T), Vehicle (hereafter V) and Predicate (hereafter P). By manipulating different degrees of conventionality among these three components and the explicit presence of a P, eigh...

I / Oi / Oi / Oi / O I / Oi / O I / Oi / O I / Oi / Oi / Oi / O

The development of a recent technological product, referred to as Array of Conngurable Logic Cells, promotes many opportunities for research and implementationof digital circuits. These arrays include logic cells whose functions can be dynamically speciied by the user. The paper describes the main characteristics of conngurable cells, and indicates the potential use of these arrays for research...
