This paper presents a structured ordinal measure method for video-based face recognition that simultaneously learns ordinal filters and structured ordinal features. The problem is posed as a non-convex integer program problem that includes two parts. The first part learns stable ordinal filters to project video data into a large-margin ordinal space. The second seeks self-correcting and discret...

dental caries is one of the most preventable yet prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. our objective was to evaluate the effect of family structure and behavioral and eyesight problems as they relate to caries severity in schoolchildren.this research was carried out on 845 primary schoolchildren aged 9 yr in kerman, iran, in 2012. ten variables, including health records, family structure inform...

Ordinal regression problem arises in situations where examples are rated in an ordinal scale. In practice, labeled ordinal data are difficult to obtain while unlabeled ordinal data are available in abundance. Designing a probabilistic semi-supervised classifier to perform ordinal regression is challenging. In this work, we propose a novel approach for semi-supervised ordinal regression using Ga...

We investigated the acquisition and integration of temporal and ordinal sequence information in an incidental learning model of motor skill acquisition (the serial reaction time task). Human participants were exposed to a stimulus-response sequence that had temporal structure, ordinal structure, or both. By changing the temporal or ordinal structure, or both, we were able to ask two questions: ...

Let λH be the term calculus of Howard’s system of constructive ordinals. I use this to name iteration gadgets (generalized ordinal notations). I isolate a family of higher order ordinal functions which give a partial semantics of λH. I indicate how λH provides an intrinsic measure of each ordinal below the Howard ordinal.1

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a common musculoskeletal disease in pedigree dog populations. It can cause severe pain and dysfunction which may require extensive medication and/or surgical treatment and often ultimately requires humane euthanasia. CHD has been found to be moderately heritable and, given its impact on welfare, should be considered an imperative breeding priority. The British Vete...

The notion of ordinal computability is defined by generalising standard Turing computability on tapes of length ω to computations on tapes of arbitrary ordinal length. The fundamental theorem on ordinal computability states that a set x of ordinals is ordinal computable from ordinal parameters if and only if x is an element of the constructible universe L. In this paper we present a new proof o...

Implicit learning (IL) occurs unintentionally. IL of temporal patterns has received minimal attention, and results are mixed regarding whether IL of temporal patterns occurs in the absence of a concurrent ordinal pattern. Two experiments examined the IL of temporal patterns and the conditions under which IL is exhibited. Experiment 1 examined whether uncertainty of the upcoming stimulus identit...
