The ability to efficiently send and receive high-quality multimedia over unreliable networks has become essential. Compressed video bit streams suffer from bit error and packet loss during transport over these different network types. The MPEG-4 standard was developed with error-resilient video coding techniques to help prevent these types of errors and recover from them when they occur. Despit...

Estimates of association from nonrandomized epidemiologic studies are susceptible to two types of error: random error and systematic error. Random error, or sampling error, is often called chance, and decreases toward zero as the sample size increases and the data are more efficiently distributed in the categories of the adjustment variables. The amount of random error in an estimate of associa...

The development of a widely applicable automatic motion coaching system requires one to address a lot of issues including motion capturing, motion analysis and comparison, error detection as well as error feedback. In order to cope with this complexity, most existing approaches focus on a specific motion sequence or exercise. As a first step towards the development of a more generic system, thi...

Solutions of the integro-differential equation of radiation transfer via numerical methods were well known to suffer from two distinct shortcomings: (1) numerical smearing error due to spatial domain discretization, and (2) ray effect error due to angular discretization. In this study, it is shown that both error types exhibit dependence on both spatial and angular discretization. Proportionali...

Error in science is a prime occasion to teach the nature of science, especially the central feature of tentativeness. Error types also reflect corresponding methodologies of science, critical for practicing science and (in a context of scientific literacy) analyzing its claims. Effective efforts in teaching about error will ideally be informed by earlier educational perspectives and a schema fo...

We address the problem of detecting English language learner errors by using a discriminative high-order sequence model. Unlike most work in error-detection, this method is agnostic as to specific error types, thus potentially allowing for higher recall across different error types. The approach integrates features from many sources into the error-detection model, ranging from language model-ba...

OBJECTIVE To characterize chromosomal error types and parental origin of aneuploidy in cleavage-stage embryos using an informatics-based technique that enables the elucidation of aneuploidy-causing mechanisms. DESIGN Analysis of blastomeres biopsied from cleavage-stage embryos for preimplantation genetic screening during IVF. SETTING Laboratory. PATIENT(S) Couples undergoing IVF treatment...
