Finding the Best-Fit Bounding-Boxes

The bounding-box of a geometric shape in 2D is the rectangle with the smallest area in a given orientation (usually upright) that complete contains the shape. The best-fit bounding-box is the smallest bounding-box among all the possible orientations for the same shape. In the context of document image analysis, the shapes can be characters (individual components) or paragraphs (component groups...

MOCCASIN: converting MATLAB ODE models to SBML

UNLABELLED MATLAB is popular in biological research for creating and simulating models that use ordinary differential equations (ODEs). However, sharing or using these models outside of MATLAB is often problematic. A community standard such as Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) can serve as a neutral exchange format, but translating models from MATLAB to SBML can be challenging-especially f...

All the News That's Fit to Read: Finding and Recommending News Online

Our survey study of 147 Finns shows that online news is becoming the most important news source today: Online newspapers have bypassed paper newspapers and also TV and radio in importance, especially among young adults. Although most respondents routinely visited their preferred news sites directly, recommendations from their social network also played an important role in helping them find sal...

Inferring demographic structure with moccasin size data from the Promontory Caves, Utah.

The moccasin assemblage Julian Steward recovered from the Promontory caves in 1930-31 provides a novel example in which material culture can be used to understand the structure of an AD thirteenth century population. Several studies shed light on the relationship between shoe size, foot size, and stature. We develop an anthropometric model for understanding the composition of the Promontory Cav...
