Analogy is core to human cognition. It allows us solve problems based on prior experience, it governs the way we conceptualize new information, and even influences our visual perception. The importance of analogy humans has made an active area research in broader field artificial intelligence, resulting data-efficient models that learn reason human-like ways. While cognitive perspectives deep l...

We study the regulation of brokerage in wholesale markets premodern Central Western Europe. Examining 1,804 sets rules from 82 cities, we find was primarily a centralized matchmaking mechanism. Brokerage more common towns with larger populations, better access to sea ports and trade routes, greater political autonomy. Brokers' fee structures varied systematically: price-based fees were for high...

We present a new approach to e-matching based on relational join; in particular, we apply recent database query execution techniques guarantee worst-case optimal run time. Compared the conventional backtracking that always searches e-graph "top down", our can better exploit pattern structure by searching according an optimized plan. also establish first data complexity result for e-matching, bo...

nowadays, sar imaging systems have become more interesting for scientists. high spatial resolution of recent sar images has become a key factor for their accurate applications such as interferometry, radargrammetry and change detection. in these applications, sar image matching procedure is a critical step for conjugate point extraction which is much more difficult than the optical images. the ...
