Several techniques exist to select and materialize a proper set of data in a suitable structure that manage the queries submitted to the online analytical processing systems. These techniques are called view management techniques, which consist of three research areas: 1) view selection to materialize, 2) query processing and rewriting using the materialized views, and 3) maintaining materializ...

In this work we develop a visual place recognition system for omnidirectional panoramic images that makes use of their full 360 degree circumferential angle of view. The system builds on our previous variant of the sequence SLAM algorithm to include panoramic image rotation alignment for improved image similarity scoring, and bi-directional query and database sequence matching within a Hidden M...

Ali Yayla Binghamton University SUNY [email protected] Using full range leadership model and the knowledge integration view of organizations, we develop and test a model linking IT leadership to IT-business alignment. Specifically, we examine how transformational IT leadership behaviors influence IT-business alignment through mechanisms that develop shared domain knowledge between IT and bu...

The attention mechanisim is appealing for neural machine translation, since it is able to dynamically encode a source sentence by generating a alignment between a target word and source words. Unfortunately, it has been proved to be worse than conventional alignment models in aligment accuracy. In this paper, we analyze and explain this issue from the point view of reordering, and propose a sup...

We have built a parallel treebank that includes word and phrase alignment. The alignment information was manually checked using a graphical tool that allows the annotator to view a pair of trees from parallel sentences. We found the compilation of clear alignment guidelines to be a difficult task. However, experiments with a group of students have shown that we are on the right track with up to...

The purpose of this paper is to high-light problems regarding user actability and security implementations – what are the important mechanisms that affect actability in usage situations? Alignment between actability and strategic IS-planning and security issues is of the essence. However, serious gaps in alignment have been identified concerning strategic IS-planning as well as in development o...

We have performed an assessment of the optical alignment of the WFC3 instrument in its final flight configuration, including the UVIS-1’ and IR-4 detectors, during the 3 thermal-vac test in March 2008. Both detectors are found to be aligned to well within tolerance in all degrees of freedom. The corrector settings, after adjustment to optimize image quality, are within the budgeted range for gr...

Yawat 1 is a tool for the visualization and manipulation of wordand phrase-level alignments of parallel text. Unlike most other tools for manual word alignment, it relies on dynamic markup to visualize alignment relations, that is, markup is shown and hidden depending on the current mouse position. This reduces the visual complexity of the visualization and allows the annotator to focus on one ...

Cross-view geo-localization is a task of matching the same geographic image from different views, e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite. The most difficult challenges are position shift uncertainty distance scale. Existing methods mainly aimed at digging for more comprehensive fine-grained information. However, it underestimates importance extracting robust feature representation im...
