Multi-scale Local Binary Pattern based operators are used to extract features from duodenal texture patches with histological ground truth in case of pediatric celiac disease. The multi-scale LBP combined with color channels and possibly other filters lead to a high number of computed histograms. The impact of histogram subset selection on the overall classification rates using two feature subs...

Determining excited state properties of atomic clusters is a challenging problem. In general, the ground state structural properties of clusters are unknown and not subject to direct experimental probes. Without knowledge of these properties, it is not possible to predict accurate optical excitations in clusters. Here we present a real-space-pseudopotential method to determine the structural pr...

We investigate the relationship between the energy spectrum of a local Hamiltonian and the geometric properties of its ground state. By generalizing a standard framework from the analysis of Markov chains to arbitrary (non-stoquastic) Hamiltonians we are naturally led to see that the spectral gap can always be upper bounded by an isoperimetric ratio that depends only on the ground state probabi...

Earthquake disasters can cause enormous social and economic damage, therefore the sustainability of infrastructure requires mitigation earthquake consequences. In seismic design infrastructures, it is essential to estimate response site during earthquake. Geotechnical engineers have developed quantitative methods for analyzing ground response. This study proposes a multilayer perceptron (MLP) m...
