We introduce a new method for efficiently learning permutations that exploits the technique of extended formulation from the combinatorial optimization community. This extended formulation technique encodes the hard-to-describe polytope of permutations as the projection of an easier to describe polytope in a higher dimensional space. Although the best special-purpose algorithm for permutations ...

We observed that human listeners distinguish one dialect from another by paying special attention to some particular phonetic and/or phonotactic patterns. Motivated by this observation, we propose a technique that emulates this process. We explore a target-aware lattice rescoring (TALR) process that revises the n-gram statistics in a lattice with target dialect information. We then derive n-gra...

Nowadays support vector machines (SVM) are among the most popular tools for data clustering. Even though the basic SVM technique works only for 2-classes problems, in the last years many variants of the original approach have been proposed, such as multi-class SVM for multiple class problems and single-class SVM for outlier detection. However, the former is based on a supervised approach, and t...

A methodology for accurate ana efficient simulation of unsteady, compressible flows is presented. The cornerstones of the methodology are a. special discretization of the N avier-Stokes equa.tions on structured bodyfitted grid systems and an efficient solution-adaptive mesh refinement technique for structured grids. The discretization employs an explicit multidimensional upwind scheme for the i...

We study the complexity of the confluence problem for restricted kinds of semi–Thue systems, vector replacement systems and general trace rewriting systems. We prove that confluence for length– reducing semi–Thue systems is P–complete and that this complexity reduces to NC in the monadic case. For length–reducing vector replacement systems we prove that the confluence problem is PSPACE– complet...

Making a conservative bridge using a natural tooth pontic with mobile teeth is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes impossible with the current techniques and materials. The aim of this paper is` to describe a new method using Special Rigid Tray Technique (SRTT) to deal with such difficult clinical cases.

We construct a new degeneration of the moduli stack of vector bundles over a smooth curve when the curve degenerates to a singular curve which is irreducible with one double point. We prove that the total space of the degeneration is smooth and its special fibre is a divisor with normal crossings. Furthermore, we give a precise description of how the normalization of the special fibre of the de...

conclusion both techniques provided quantitatively consistent results of in vivo velocity vector fields in right internal carotid artery (rca). pc mri represented a good estimation of main flow patterns inside the vasculature, which seems to be acceptable for clinical use. however, limitations of each technique should be considered while interpreting results. subjects and methods mr imaging was...

Integration of scalar and vector visualization has been an interesting topic. This paper presents a technique to appropriately select and display multiple streamlines while overlaying with isosurfaces, aiming an integrated scalar and vector field visualization. The technique visualizes a scalar field by multiple semitransparent isosurfaces, and a vector field by multiple streamlines, while the ...
