A Tutorial on Dual Decomposition and Lagrangian Relaxation for Inference in Natural Language Processing
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2012-10)
Dual decomposition, and more generally Lagrangian relaxation, is a classical method for combinatorial optimization; it has recently been applied to several inference problems in natural language processing (NLP). This ...
Network Coding in Optical Networks with O/E/O Based Wavelength Conversion
(Optical Society of America, 2010-03)
Performing network coding at network nodes with O/E/O wavelength conversion equipment incurs negligible additional cost. Our methodology finds minimum O/E/O equipment for multicast network coding on a minimal wavelength ...
Multiple knockout mouse models reveal lincRNAs are required for life and brain development
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd., 2013-12)
Many studies are uncovering functional roles for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), yet few have been tested for in vivo relevance through genetic ablation in animal models. To investigate the functional relevance of lncRNAs ...
Approximability of the Subset Sum Reconfiguration Problem
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-05)
The subset sum problem is a well-known NP-complete problem in which we wish to find a packing (subset) of items (integers) into a knapsack with capacity so that the sum of the integers in the packing is at most the capacity ...
Human microRNA target analysis and gene ontology clustering by GOmir, a novel stand-alone application
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2009-06)
microRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNA molecules of about 20–23 nucleotides length found in a wide variety of organisms. miRNAs regulate gene expression, by interacting with target mRNAs at specific sites in order to ...
Locally indistinguishable subspaces spanned by three-qubit unextendible product bases
(American Physical Society, 2010-03)
We study the local distinguishability of general multiqubit states and show that local projective measurements and classical communication are as powerful as the most general local measurements and classical communication. ...
On Symmetry, Perspectivity, and Level-Set-Based Segmentation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)
We introduce a novel variational method for the extraction of objects with either bilateral or rotational symmetry in the presence of perspective distortion. Information on the symmetry axis of the object and the distorting ...
The Tasmanian Devil Transcriptome Reveals Schwann Cell Origins of a Clonally Transmissible Cancer
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009-12)
The Tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is endangered because of the emergence of a transmissible cancer known as devil facial tumor disease (DFTD). This fatal cancer is clonally derived and is an allograft transmitted ...
Histone Modifications at Human Enhancers Reflect Global Cell-Type-Specific Gene Expression
(Nature Publishing Group, 2009-03)
The human body is composed of diverse cell types with distinct functions. Although it is known that lineage specification depends on cell-specific gene expression, which in turn is driven by promoters, enhancers, insulators ...
Acoustic voxels
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2016-07)
Acoustic filters have a wide range of applications, yet customizing them with desired properties is difficult. Motivated by recent progress in additive manufacturing that allows for fast prototyping of complex shapes, we ...
