This paper reviews the principle of Minimum Description Length (MDL) for problems of model selection. By viewing statistical modeling as a means of generating descriptions of observed data, the MDL framework discriminates between competing models based on the complexity of each description. This approach began with Kolmogorov’s theory of algorithmic complexity, matured in the literature on info...

Multi-Domain Logic (MDL) is a generalization of signed logic, in which every variable has its own domain. This aspect increases the efficiency of direct solving of MDL satisfiability, because the solving process proceeds by reducing the size of the domains (contradiction appears as an empty domain). In contrast to the usual approach of translating signed logic satisfiability into boolean satisf...

Rotated object detection in aerial images is a meaningful yet challenging task as objects are densely arranged and have arbitrary orientations. The eight-parameter (coordinates of box vectors) methods rotated usually use ln-norm losses (L1 loss, L2 smooth L1 loss) loss functions. As mainly based on non-scale-invariant Minkowski distance, using will lead to inconsistency with the metric rotation...

This study aimed to determine the pupils practices at home during Modular Distance Learning (MDL) in terms of Reading, Parenting, and Gadgets, find their Reading Literacy levels either Independent, Instructional, Frustrated, or Non-Readers, further significant relationship between MDL Level. Also, design an Action Plan based on studys findings help with problems reading level. used a descriptiv...

International limits on the concentrations of living organisms in ballast water are now force for commercial ships. Microscopy-based, “direct count” assays estimate organisms. These used performance tests Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMSs), which shipboard technologies designed to reduce below discharge limits. Here, we examine factors that affect method detection limit (MDL) direct count...

The effects of modifying the carbohydrate chain and amino acids on the conformation and activity of Millettia dielsiana Harms. ex Diels. lectin (MDL) were studied by hemagglutination, fluorescence and circular dichroism analysis. The modification of tryptophan residues led to a compete loss of hemagglutinating activity; however, the addition of mannose was able to prevent this loss of activity....

introduction: prior studies comparing hemodynamic response function (hrf) in the young and elderly adults based on fmri data have reported inconsistent findings for brain vision and motor regions in healthy aging. it is shown that the averaging method employed in all previous works has caused this inconsistency. the averaging is so sensitive to outliers and noise. however, fmri data are obscure...

Abstract Mining patterns is a core task in data analysis and, beyond issues of efficient enumeration, the selection constitutes major challenge. The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle, model method grounded information theory, has been applied to pattern mining with aim obtain compact high-quality sets patterns. After giving an outline relevant concepts from theory and coding, we review...

G-Enum histograms are a new fast and fully automated method for irregular histogram construction. By framing construction as density estimation problem its automation model selection task, these leverage the Minimum Description Length principle (MDL) to derive two different criteria. Several proven theoretical results about criteria give insights their asymptotic behavior used speed up optimisa...

Contrasting “geometric fitting”, for which the noise level is taken as the asymptotic variable, with “statistical inference”, for which the number of observations is taken as the asymptotic variable, we give a new definition of the “geometric AIC” and the “geometric MDL” as the counterparts of Akaike’s AIC and Rissanen’s MDL. We discuss various theoretical and practical problems that emerge fro...
