Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence for both the current state and evolution history of the Moon. Current description methods for lunar impact craters are predominantly qualitativ...

The Montage project aims to develop a suite of software tools which will assist field linguists in organizing and analyzing the data they collect while at the same time producing resources which are easily discoverable and accessible to the community at large. Because we believe that corpus methods, descriptive analysis, and implemented formal grammars can all inform each other, our suite of so...

Threats against psychiatrists are common, but existing studies on the subject lack descriptive information about the nature and resolution of the threat. In the present study, clinicians who had received threats were interviewed in person or by telephone, and case histories were summarized. Threats were classified as situational and transferential. Demographic factors, precipitating events, and...

We study how to achieve cooperation between two self-interested agents that play repeated randomly generated normal form games. We take inspiration from a model originally designed to identify cooperative actions by humans who play a game, but we use the model in a prescriptive rather than descriptive manner. To identify cooperative intent, agents use a particle filter to learn the parameters o...

Clustering categorical sequences is currently a difficult problem due to the lack of an efficient representation model for sequences. Unlike the existing models, which mainly focus on the fixed-length tuples representation, in this paper, a new representation model on the variablelength tuples is proposed. The variable-length tuples are obtained using a pruning method applied to delete the redu...

Mobile wireless video delivery is still challenging due to its limited bandwidth and dynamic channel status. In this paper, a novel approach named Dubbing Video Slides (DVS) is proposed to cope with the bandwidth limitation problem. Based on a statistical video content importance analysis, DVS method can dynamically select and transmit representative video frames which are relatively more impor...
