How to Work Together

This is a personal account of how a computer scientist and a social scientist have collaborated in a series of projects, including a study on hyperlink structure, an online content analysis tool, and an e-Social Science research initiative. Our experience suggests that, to make interdisciplinary work successful, the social scientist should spend time learning relevant technology whereas the non...

Duplicating and its Applications in Batch Scheduling

In this paper, we firstly describe a technique named Duplicating, which duplicates machines in batch scheduling environment. Then we discuss several applications of Duplicating in solving batch scheduling problems, for the batch scheduling problem on unrelated parallel machines to minimize makespan, we give an (4− 2 B )-approximation algorithm and an (2− 1 B + ǫ) algorithm when m is fixed. We a...

Neural Coding: Rate and Time Codes Work Together

A new study shows that, when rats discriminate different textures using their whiskers, both spike-rate and spike-timing information in somatosensory cortex contribute to their perceptual decisions. An elegant information theory analysis shows these contributions to be complementary.
