Meeting of 1954 January 8

The Georgetown-IBM Experiment Demonstrated in January 1954

The public demonstration of a Russian-English machine translation system in New York in January 1954 – a collaboration of IBM and Georgetown University – caused a great deal of public interest and much controversy. Although a small-scale experiment of just 250 words and six ‘grammar’ rules it raised expectations of automatic systems capable of high quality translation in the near future. This p...

Meeting report of the RNA Ontology Consortium January 8-9, 2011

This report summarizes the proceedings of the structure mapping working group meeting of the RNA Ontology Consortium (ROC), held in Kona, Hawaii on January 8-9, 2011. The ROC hosted this workshop to facilitate collaborations among those researchers formalizing concepts in RNA, those developing RNA-related software, and those performing genome annotation and standardization. The workshop include...

The set packing and set covering models are two useful models in integer programming. Sometimes, due to the special structure of the constraint matrix, the natural linear programming relaxation yields an optimal solution which is integral, thus solving the problem. Perfect, ideal and balanced matrices are three classes of constraint matrices with such integrality properties (for the set packing...

Last Time: We discussed quadrature rules, which are means of estimating integrals of functions using a weighted sum of function values. Among these, one of the simplest is the trapezoidal rule, which derives its name from the fact that it attempts to approximate the area under the curve using a trapezoid. Although it can be proved the accuracy of this rule increases quadratically with the numbe...
