Large scales–long times: Adding high energy resolution to SANS

Adding High Powered Relations to Large Groups

It is a common theme in group theory that if a group G is quotiented by a sufficiently high power of an element g ∈ G, then properties of G are inherited by the quotient group. A major example of this phenomenon is the theorem of Gromov ([4], see also [2]) asserting that if G is torsion-free and word-hyperbolic, then G/〈〈g〉〉 is also word-hyperbolic for all sufficiently big integers n. In this p...

Implantable Microsystems for High-Resolution Interfacing to the Brain

Adding Vibrotactile Feedback to Large Interactive Surfaces

Interactive surfaces and multi-touch tables are increasingly available outside academic contexts, and are entering, for instance, work or educational contexts. A large variety of applications exists for a multitude of tasks. For interacting with these applications, existing interaction concepts are often directly mapped to the multi-touch surface, which is often limited by physical constraints....

Space to Think: Sensemaking and Large, High-Resolution Displays

Display technology has developed significantly over the last decade, and it is becoming increasingly feasible to construct large, high-resolution displays. Prior work has shown a number of key performance advantages for these displays that can largely be attributed to the replacement of virtual navigation (e.g., panning and zooming) with physical navigation (e.g., moving, turning, glancing). Th...

Adding High-Precision Links to Wikipedia

Wikipedia’s link structure is a valuable resource for natural language processing tasks, but only a fraction of the concepts mentioned in each article are annotated with hyperlinks. In this paper, we study how to augment Wikipedia with additional high-precision links. We present 3W, a system that identifies concept mentions in Wikipedia text, and links each mention to its referent page. 3W leve...
