Scalable Action Respecting Embedding

ARE is a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique for embedding observation trajectories, which captures state dynamics that traditional methods do not. The core of ARE is a semidefinite optimization with constraints requiring actions to be distance-preserving in the resulting embedding. Unfortunately, these constraints are quadratic in number and non-local (making recent scaling tricks in...

Some Practical Points Respecting the Malaria-Parasite

Some Practical Points Respecting the Malarial Parasite

that the time is fast approaching when the parasite of malaria will be studied in India much more generally than it is at present. Putting aside the intrinsic interest of the subject, we must boldly face the fact that, though examination of the blood is not necessary in all cases of fever, a thorough knowledge of the parasite is as essential to the correct practice of tropical medicine as it ce...

Approximating the Bandwidth via Volume Respecting Embeddings

A linear arrangement of an n-vertex graph is a one-to-one mapping of its vertices to the integers f1; : : : ; ng. The bandwidth of a linear arrangement is the maximum diierence between mapped values of adjacent vertices. The problem of nding a linear arrangement with smallest possible bandwidth in NP-hard. We present a random-ized algorithm that runs in nearly linear time and outputs a linear a...
