We discuss approaches to transduction based on graph cut cost functions. More specifically, we focus on the normalized cut, which is the cost function of choice in many clustering applications, notably in image segmentation. Since optimizing the normalized cut cost is an NP-complete problem, much of the research attention so far has gone to relaxing the problem of normalized cut clustering to t...

introduction nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (cah) is characterized by sufficient cortisol and aldosterone production at the cost of androgen overproduction. hydrocortisone or dexamethasone in supraphysiological doses are current treatment; however, their downside is suppression of endogenous cortisol production resulting in corticosteroid dependency. we aimed to treat children with...

A common model for computing the similarity of two strings X and Y of lengths m, and n respectively with m n, is to transform X into Y through a sequence of three types of edit operations: insertion, deletion, and substitution. The model assumes a given cost function which assigns a non-negative real weight to each edit operation. The amortized weight for a given edit sequence is the ratio of i...

A common model for computing the similarity of two strings X and Y of lengths m, and n respectively with m n, is to transform X into Y through a sequence of edit operations which are of three types: insertion, deletion, and substitution of symbols. The model assumes a given weight function which assigns a non-negative real cost to each of these edit operations. The amortized weight for a given ...
