One of the goals of cardiovascular science is to create a mathematical model of the heart that can predict ven-tricular function in healthy and diseased states, and that can be used to help improve treatment options for patients with heart disease. To be clinically useful, the model will have to include structural information about the shapes of the chambers and the action of the valves, and ab...

Explorations into visual distortion techniques from information visualisation have not been matched by research into human performance in distorted visual spaces. Systems implementing distortion techniques have not consistently borne out the promise of distortion techniques; however, the studies have demonstrated that users are often disoriented by the unnaturalness of the mismatch between the ...

To argue for scrutability theses, as I do in this chapter and the next, we first need a potential scrutability base. I will start with a reasonably generous base. Later (in chapters 6 and 7), I will consider whether it needs to be augmented and whether it can be narrowed down. In the Aufbau, Carnap’s main base was a phenomenal base, consisting just of logical expressions plus an expression for ...

The majority of theoretical work in machine learning is done under the assumption of exchangeability: essentially, it is assumed that the examples are generated from the same probability distribution independently. This paper is concerned with the problem of testing the exchangeability assumption in the on-line mode: examples are observed one by one and the goal is to monitor on-line the streng...
