Triangle mesh models of images are studied. Through exploration, a computational framework for mesh generation based on data-dependent triangulations (DDTs) and two specific mesh-generation methods derived from this framework are proposed. In earlier work, Yang et al. proposed a highly-effective technique for generating triangle-mesh models of images, known as the error diffusion (ED) method. U...

In a within-subject design we investigated the levels-of-processing (LOP) effect using visual material in a behavioral and a corresponding PET study. In the behavioral study we characterize a generalized LOP effect, using pleasantness and graphical quality judgments in the encoding situation, with two types of visual material, figurative and nonfigurative line drawings. In the PET study we inve...

This paper describes the patent translation system submitted for the NTCIR-9 PatentMT task. We applied the Linear Ordering Problem (LOP) based reordering model [16] to Japanese-to-English translation to deal with the substantial difference in the word order between the two languages.

This paper gives a brief high-level description of the implementation of a disjunctive logic programming system referred to as Dis-LoP. This system is a result of research activities of the Disjunctive Logic Programming-project (funded by Deutsche Forschungs-Gemeinschaft), undertaken by the University of Koblenz since July 1995.

Starting in October 2001 the Center for Monitoring Research (CMR) engaged in an advanced concept demonstration (ACD) to improve nuclear-explosion monitoring capability, focused on the Chinese test site at Lop Nor. A demonstration prototype system was developed by integrating innovative techniques gleaned from recent research and development advances. Emphasis was in the areas of detection, loca...

In 2019, Anderson et al. proposed the concept of rankability, which refers to a dataset's inherent ability be meaningfully ranked. In this article, we give an expository review linear ordering problem (LOP) and then use it analyze rankability data. Specifically, degree linearity is used quantify what percentage data aligns with optimal ranking. sports context, analo...
