There are many software languages which are not exposed protocols, exchange formats, interfaces and storage formats, and are only used for intermediate representation, runtime data manipulation and tool-specific serialisation. Yet, they can be important for technology comprehension, since such internal implementation details may have indirect impact on some aspects of the externally observed be...

A particular kind of quintessence is considered, with equation of motion pQ/ρQ = −1, corresponding to a cosmological term with time-dependence Λ(t) = Λ(t0)(R(t0)/R(t)) P which we examine initially for 0 ≤ P < 3. Energy conservation is imposed, as is consistency with big-bang nucleosynthesis, and the range of allowed P is thereby much restricted to 0 ≤ P < 0.2. The position of the first Doppler ...

In this work we present a biologically inspired algorithm for learning object categories that uses Bayesian inference to integrate information within and across fixations. In our model, an object is represented as a collection of features of specific classes arranged at specific locations with respect to the location of the fixation point. Even though the number of feature detectors that we use...

In order to connect the Open64 Fortran front end to the xaifbooster differentiation engine, one must develop bridging tools to translate between Open64’s intermediate representation language (WHIRL) and xaifbooster’s intermediate representation (XAIF). This report describes the design and implementation of these translation tools: whirl2xaif and xaif2whirl.

This notebook paper documents the approach adopted by our team for Author Masking Task in PAN 2016. For the purpose of masking the identity of the author, we use a simple translation based approach. From the source language (English), the text is translated to an intermediate language before it gets finally translated back to English. In this process, depending on the translation model and vari...

The Dilemma of Curve Detection from previous ones in that no attempt is made to match curves directly against the image, or even against measurements (i.e., "curve operators") evaluated over the image. Instead we stress the organizational point that a stable, reliable, but coarse description should be computed as an intermediate between the image (measurements) and the global curves. A particul...
