The developmental regulation of vertebrate Hox gene transcription relies on the interplay between local and long-range controls. To study this complex genomic organization, we designed a strategy combining meiotic and targeted recombinations to induce larg ...
Inspired by the combinatorial denoising method {\tt DUDE} \cite{WOSVW04}, we present efficient algorithms for implementing this idea for arbitrary contexts or for using it within subsequences. We also propose effective, efficient denoising error estimators ...
A new system for the recognition of handwritten text is described. The system goes from raw, binary scanned images of census forms to {ASCII} transcriptions of the fields contained within the forms. The first step is to locate and extract the handwritten i ...
This paper discusses the evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems developed for practical applications, suggesting a set of criteria for application-oriented performance measures. The commonly used word error rate (WER), which poses ASR eva ...
Preliminary attempts at automatic analysis and synthesis of typographic shapes are described. String matching techniques are used to recover implicit relationships between character parts. A knowledge base describing local character shape parts is created ...
Multiple twinning in cubic crystals is represented geometrically by a three-dimensional fractal and algebraically by a groupoid. In this groupoid, the variant crystals are the objects, the misorientations between the variants are the operations, and the Σ3 ...
The estimation of a system’s infinity norm using one set of measured input and output data is investigated. It is known that, if the data set is noise free, this problem can be solved using convex optimization. In the presence of noise, convergence of this ...
We propose a new signed or unsigned Euclidean distance transformation algorithm, based on the local corrections of the well-known 4SED algorithm of Danielsson. Those corrections are only applied to a small neighborhood of a small subset of pixels from the ...
We believe the paucity of massively parallel, shared-memory machines follows from the lack of a shared-memory programming performance model that can inform programmers of the cost of operations (so they can avoid expensive ones) and can tell hardware desig ...
The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experime ...
