In this article, we propose the use of partitioning and clustering methods as an alternative to Gaussian quadrature for stochastic collocation (SC). The key idea is to use cluster centers as the nodes for collocation. In this way, we can extend the use of collocation methods to uncertainty propagation with multivariate, correlated input. The approach is particularly useful in situations where t...

The selection of features is critical in providing discriminative information for classifiers in Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). Uninformative features will degrade the performance of classifiers. Based on the strong evidence that an ambiguous word expresses a unique sense in a given collocation, this paper reports our experiments on automatic WSD using collocation as local features based on t...

A long-standing open question associated with the use of collocation methods for boundary value ordinary differential equations is concerned with the development of a high order continuous solution approximation to augment the high order discrete solution approximation, obtained at the mesh points which subdivide the problem interval. It is well known that the use of collocation at Gauss points...

Quartic-Spline Collocation Methods for Fourth-Order Two-Point Boundary Value Problems Ying Zhu Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2001 This thesis presents numerical methods for the solution of general linear fourth-order boundary value problems in one dimension. The methods are based on quartic splines, that is, piecewise quartic polynomials with C3...

In this paper, consideration is given to how aliasing errors, introduced when evaluating nonlinear products, inexactly affect the solution of Galerkin spectral/hp element polynomial discretisations on triangles. A theoretical discussion is presented of how aliasing errors are introduced by a collocation projection onto a set of quadrature points insufficient for exact integration, and consider ...

A new moving mesh method is introduced for solving time dependent partial diierential equations (PDEs) in divergence form. The method uses a cell-averaging cubic Hermite collocation discretization for the physical PDEs and a three point nite diierence discretization for the PDE which determines the moving mesh. Numerical results are presented for a selection of diicult benchmark problems, inclu...

In this paper, a Chebyshev spectral collocation domain decomposition (DD) semidiscretization by using a grid mapping, derived by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer in space is applied to the numerical solution of the generalized Burger’s–Huxley (GBH) equation. To reduce roundoff error in computing derivatives we use the above mentioned grid mapping. In this work, we compose the Chebyshev spectral collocation...

In this paper, we propose a method for translating a given verb-noun collocation based on a parallel corpus and an additional monolingual corpus. Our approach involves two models to generate collocation translations. The combination translation model generates combined translations of the collocate and the base word, and filters translations by a target language model from a monolingual corpus,...

Consider a model eigenvalue problem with a piecewise constant coefficient. We split the domain at the discontinuity of the coefficient function and define the multidomain variational formulation for the eigenproblem. The discrete multidomain variational formulations are defined for Legendre–Galerkin and Legendre-collocation methods. The spectral rate of convergence of the approximate eigensolut...
