Martigny - Valais - Suisse Combining Linear

A polychotomizer which assigns the input to one ofK K is constructed using a set of dichotomizers which assign the input to one of two classes We propose techniques to construct a set of linear dichotomizers whose combined decision forms a nonlinear polychotomizer to extract structure from data One way is using error correcting output codes ECOC We propose to incorporate soft weight sharing in ...

Annotated checklist of the diplura (Hexapoda: Entognatha) of California.

The first checklist of California dipluran taxa is presented with annotations. New state and county records are reported, as well as new taxa in the process of being described. California has a remarkable dipluran fauna with about 8% of global richness. California hosts 63 species in 5 families, with 51 of those species endemic to the State, and half of these endemics limited to single locales....

IDIAP Martigny - Valais - Suisse Continuous Audio � Visual Speech Recognition

We address the problem of robust lip tracking, visual speech feature extraction, and sensor integration for audiovisual speech recognition applications. An appearance based model of the articulators, which represents linguistically important features, is learned from example images and is used to locate, track, and recover visual speech information. We t a c kle the problem of joint temporal mo...

Observation of Au + Au → Au + Au + ρ 0 and Au + Au → Au ∗ + Au ∗ + ρ 0 with STAR

We report the first observation of the reactions + ρ 0 with the STAR detector. The ρ are produced at small perpendicular momentum, as expected if they couple coherently to both nuclei. We discuss models of vector meson production and the correlation with nuclear breakup, and present a fundamental test of quantum mechanics that is possible with the system.
