The theory suggests that people relate to others and situations in their adult lives as shaped by family experiences during infancy. For example, an adult who experienced neglect or abuse in infancy would expect similar behavior from others who remind them of the neglectful or abusive person from their past (often a parent). The infant's images of people and events turn into Objects in the subc...

This paper studies two types of spatial relationships that can be learned from training examples for object recognition. The first one employs deformable relationships between object parts with a Gaussian model, while the second one describes pairwise relationships between pixel intensity values using Bayesian networks. We perform experiments on a human face dataset and a horse dataset, imposin...

Classes play a dual rôle in mainstream statically-typed object-oriented languages, serving as both object generators and object types. In such languages, inheritance implies subtyping. In contrast, the theoretical language community has viewed this linkage as a mistake and has focused on subtyping relationships determined by the structure of object types, without regard to their underlying impl...

Although object relations theories are increasingly prominent in the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic literature, efforts to study these phenomena empirically remain in their infancy. Researchers interested in studying intrapsychic processes have nonetheless attempted to assess levels of object relatedness, and several reports have documented both construct and predictive validity. This lit...

In this paper we devise and assess a method for optimizing the execution of encapsulated operations (possibly with side-eeects) based on the precomputation of the page answer (i.e., the set of referenced pages). For (important) parameter combinations, (1) the page answer, (2) the reference frequency of pages, (3) and the ordering of the page answer according to the rst reference of a page durin...

Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to explore how the human brain models gaze-object relations. During scanning participants observed a human model gazing towards or away a target object presented either in isolation or flanked by a distractor object. In two further conditions the model's gaze was shifted and subsequently maintained away from the stimulus/i. The...

This paper explores the hypothesis that simple monotonicity properties of quantiiers in natural language determine to a large extent the entailment relations between their wide/narrow scope readings. We prove that the disjunctive normal form of upward monotone quanti-ers using principal ultraalters correlates with whether an object narrow scope reading entails an object wide scope reading. This...

Programmers use assertion to enforce design by contract. However, in Object-Oriented Programming, assertion has few drawbacks. One drawback is that assertion may prevent the reuse of a class. Another is that programmers cannot express assertion about inter-object relations. Using Aspect-Oriented Programming technique, which enables to describe a crosscutting concern in one module, programmers c...

Recent research in the calculation and exploitation of geometric object/image relations suggests new approaches to automatic target recognition (ATR). The resulting conceptual advances have efficiently solved the geometry problem and have transformed the ATR problem into a correspondence problem. This paper provides an analysis of the elementary algorithms which exploit object/image relations a...
