Relational Generative Topographic Map
The generative topographic mapping (GTM) has been proposed as a statistical model to represent high dimensional data by means of a sparse lattice of points in latent space, such that visualization, compression, and data inspection become possible. Original GTM is restricted to Euclidean data points in a vector space. Often, data are not explicitly embedded in a Euclidean vector space, rather pa...
متن کاملCalculating River Length Based on Topographic Data
River length has been the particular interest of people. Topographic data, which are obtained from field survey or digitizing from topographies, can serve as ideal data source for river length calculating. The topographic data are vector-based data, which represent river entities as polygonal line. Depending on data scale, rivers are represented in topographic data as single-line (narrow) or do...
متن کاملMisconception as a barrier to teaching about disasters.
INTRODUCTION This paper is a report on an exercise designed to reveal the extent of belief in the common myths about disasters held by members of four groups of students from the University of Massachusetts and three groups of trainee emergency workers from Italy. METHODS A questionnaire was administered in which students and trainees were asked to agree or disagree with 19 statements about d...
متن کاملA common misconception about LIGO detectors of gravitational waves
A common misconception about laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves purports that, because the wavelength of laser light and the length of an interferometer’s arm are both stretched by a gravitational wave, no effect should be visible, invoking an analogy with cosmological redshift in an expanding universe. The issue is clarified with the help of a direct calculation.
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Topographic Map Formation
We introduce a new unsupervised learning algorithm for kernel-based topographic map formation of heteroscedastic gaussian mixtures that allows for a unified account of distortion error (vector quantization), log-likelihood, and Kullback-Leibler divergence.
