The principles of decision-analytic decision support, implemented in GeNIe (Graphical Network Interface) and SMILE (Structural Modeling, Inference, and Learning Engine) can be applied in practical decision support systems (DSSs). GeNIe plays the role of a developer's environment and SMILE plays the role of the reasoning engine. A decision support system based on SMILE can be equipped with a ded...

Mobile elements that use reverse transcriptase to make new copies of themselves are found in all major lineages of eukaryotes. The non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons have been suggested to be the oldest of these eukaryotic elements. Phylogenetic analysis of non-LTR elements suggests that they have predominantly undergone vertical transmission, as opposed to the frequent horizon...

Music Genie refers to audio processing technologies for quick and easy music browsing and discovery. We built research prototype software that allows users to quickly generate playlists from a collection of thousands of songs. Our software provides an interactive, content-adaptive, thumbnail-based presentation of music. The software accepts user inputs interactively during use, and it consecuti...

This paper describes a system called Genie, which generates databases suitable for testing inference detection tools. In order to provide the inter-relationships that must exist among data instances if the database is actually to have inferences, Genie uses a simulator to mimic “real world” activity and captures data from the simulator. Since the data is based on a simulation, it will have the ...

We have developed an automated feature detection/classification system, called GENetic Imagery Exploitation (GENIE), which has been designed to generate image processing pipelines for a variety of feature detection/classification tasks. GENIE is a hybrid evolutionary algorithm that addresses the general problem of finding features of interest in multispectral remotely-sensed images. We describe...
