We consider optical interferometric cross correlators based on broadband light sources. We derive the signal-to-noise ratio from basic principles and supply experimental evidence that corroborates the theoretical analysis. Noise sources are discussed, and the signal-to-noise ratio of our experimental system is measured.

As mentioned in the paper, we found that in order to achieve better generalization to real images special care has to be taken when rendering the training data. We trained networks with two kinds of training data: ”realistic” and ”basic”. The ”realistic” rendering is described in the main paper: we randomly sampled the number of light sources, their intensities and the locations; performed alph...

This introduction is meant for readers with no knowledge about reinforcement learning. It presents the basic framework and introduce the basic terminology. We hope that this will make it easier to read other reinforcement learning literature. Pointers to more tutorial sources will be given at the end.

This paper describes SMES, an information extraction core system for real world German text processing. The basic design criterion of the system is of providing a set of basic powerful, robust, and efficient natural language components and generic linguistic knowledge sources which can easily be customized for processing different tasks in a flexible manner.

The emergence of diverse networked data sources has created new opportunities for the sharing and exchange of data. In support of this, a fruitful line of research has resulted in distributed data processing and integration systems [19, 17, 29, 30, 3]. However in practice, fear of unauthorized disclosure or malicious tampering requires that data stay safely behind firewalls or remain protected ...

The rapidly developing field of diagrammatic knowledge representation and reasoning is surveyed. The origins and rationale of the field, basic principles and methodologies, as well as selected applications are discussed. Closely related areas, like visual languages, data presentation, and visualization are briefly introduced as well. Basic sources of material for further study are indicated.
