چکیده

Notre Dame and St. Mary's stu~dents will not have to make up class days missed as a result of the blizzard which began last Wednesday night and crippled much of the midwest. The announcement came yesterday as a joint decision from Fr. Ferdinand Brown, acting provost at Notre Dame, and Dr. James Duggan, St. Mary's president. Notre Dame announced yesterday that classes will resumf' today. St. Mary's announced their reopening last night. Shuttle buses will operate today to allow St. Mary's students to attend their classes at Notre Dame. The three-day closing marks the longest period in the history of the two schools that classes have been cancelled because of snow. Last January's one-day closing was the first since 1918, when classes were also cancelled for one day. Thursday's cancellation came almost exactly one year after the previous closing. On Jan. 28 last year low temperatures and high winds combined to produce a wind chill factor of -70degrees F. Although a relatively small amount of snow fell, the schools were forced to close. Sr.Bernadette Marie Downey, St.

Creativity and Surprise

This paper describes a computational model for creativity in which surprise plays a central role. There is no doubt that creative products, being unexpected and unpredictable products, cause surprise. In order to make those products surprising and supported by recent evidences from neuroscience, which say emotions are biasing devices in decision-making, we defend that decisions made during the ...

Semantic Interpretation of Novelty in Images Using Histograms of Oriented Gradients

An approach for the semantic interpretation of image-based novelty in real-world environments is presented. We measure novelty using the concept of pixel-based surprise, which quantifies how much a new observation changes the robot’s current probabilistic appearance model of the environment. The corresponding surprise maps are utilized as prior information to reduce the search space of a “Histo...

Predictive information and Bayesian surprise in exchangeable random processes

In this report we examine the connection between Itti and Baldi’s ‘Bayesian suprise’ [1] and instantaneous predictive information [2], and show that the two are identical in certain classes of exchangeable random sequences. We also examine how these relationships can be used to compute the instantaneous predictive information in a Markov chain where the transition matrix is unknown. Samples fro...

Soft Skills: An Important Asset Acquired from Organizing Regional Student Group Activities

Contributing to a student organization, such as the International Society for Computational Biology Student Council (ISCB-SC) and its Regional Student Group (RSG) program, takes time and energy. Both are scarce commodities, especially when you are trying to find your place in the world of computational biology as a graduate student. It comes as no surprise that organizing ISCB-SC-related activi...

Service Level Based Capacity Rationing Procedure for Make-To-Order Manufacturing Systems

We extend a heuristic method within the framework of “dynamic capacity apportionment procedure” (DCAP) to allocate an existing capacity among the classes with different profit contributions. In general, DCAP is applied when some capacity shortage exists and can not be enhanced in short - run. Our proposed approach is constructed for a make - to - order manufacturing system that produces a varie...
