The Skewed Curve

Skewed Symmetry Detection Through Local Skewed Symmetries

We explore how global symmetry can be detected prior to segmentation and under noise and occlusion. The definition of local symmetries is extended to affine geometries by considering the tangents and curvatures of local structures, and a quantitative measure of local symmetry known as symmetricity is introduced, which is based on Mahalanobis distances from the tangent-curvature states of local ...

Skewed Timestamps

In the well known timestamp algorithm each writing process reads all the registers of the other processes, and then sets a higher timestamp (natural number) to itself. In thèskewed algorithm' only one writing process in each pair reads the other. 1 Preface Messages are often timestamped. In a fax, the timestamp includes the date and exact time of the day, and in a book only the publication year...

Skewed noise

We study the attitude of decision makers to skewed noise. For a binary lottery that yields the better outcome with probability p, we identify noise around p with a compound lottery that induces a distribution over the exact value of the probability and has an average value p. We propose and characterize a new notion of skewed distributions, and use a recursive non-expected utility to provide co...

Skewed Graph Partitioning

Graph partitioning is an important abstraction used in solving many scientific computing problems. Unfortunately, the standard partitioning model does not incorporate considerations that are important in many settings. We address this by describing a generalized partitioning model which incorporates the notion of partition skew and is applicable to a variety of problems. We then develop enhance...
