Recovery of Partially Observed Data Appearing in Clusters

We propose a matrix completion algorithm for matrices where the columns appear in clusters. The algorithm estimates the similarity between every pair of points using partial distances, computed from the entries of their commonly observed indices. It is shown that the similarity matrix can be reliably estimated from partial distances, and used to aid the recovery process. It is observed that the...

Relationship between typhoon activity and upper ocean heat content

[1] A 44-year mean distribution of tropical cyclone heat potential (TCHP), a measure of the oceanic heat content from the surface to the 26 C-isotherm depth, shows that TCHP is locally high in the western North Pacific (WNP). TCHP varies on interannual time scales and has a relationship with tropical cyclone (TC) activity. The third mode of an empirical orthogonal function analysis of TCHP show...

When I Was a Patient

This account of her experiences as a patient in a mental hospital has been sent to Mental Health by Susan X. We cannot, of course, print her name in full.

When the Field was Young

When the IEEE Computer Society (CS) was born on 31 December 1970, Computer was a young publication in a young eld, and it was the product of a young organization— the Society’s predecessor, the IEEE Computer Group. The president of the freshly franchised Society wrote that the time was right for looking back on the accomplishments of the founding IEEE Computer Group before “we start 1971 as the...
