VALUES are tentatively defined as numbers assigned to types of syntactic relations such that connections of higher value are established in preference to connections of lower value during sentence-structure determination. Given a text in which sentence structures are known, the values of some syntactic relations can be estimated by the following plan: assign value 1 to relations such that no re...

Given a collection of unorganised points in space, we present a new method of constructing a surface which approximates this point cloud. The surface is defined implicitly as the isosurface of a trivariate volume model. The volume model is piecewise linear and obtained as a least squares fit to data derived from the point cloud. The original point cloud input is assigned a zero value. Additiona...

• Our data set contains data on 55208 cars [1]. • To each car, 23 attributes are assigned. – correlated (e.g., cylinders and engine size). – anti-correlated (e.g., mileage and registration date). – nearly independent (e.g., mileage and horsepower). • Outliers countervail correlation effects. • Cardinalities differ greatly, e.g.: – 5988 different values for attribute price. – only 17 different v...
