Digital whole-slide images of pathological tissue samples have recently become feasible for use within routine diagnostic practice. These gigapixel sized images enable pathologists to perform reviews using computer workstations instead of microscopes. Existing workstations visualize scanned images by providing a zoomable image space that reproduces the capabilities of the microscope. This paper...

In the dissimilarity representation paradigm, several prototype selection methods have been used to cope with the topic of how to select a small representation set for generating a low-dimensional dissimilarity space. In addition, these methods have also been used to reduce the size of the dissimilarity matrix. However, these approaches assume a relatively balanced class distribution, which is ...

In the smart living space of the future, the interaction between humans and machines will become more frequent and diverse than ever. We will need more attentive and affective designs of human-computer interface in all living fields, including study rooms, bedrooms and living rooms. Our research is aimed to design a prototype of a new interactive TV system which implements both instrumental and...

Integrating text and knowledge into a unified semantic space has attracted significant research interests recently. However, the ambiguity in the common space remains a challenge, namely that the same mention phrase usually refers to various entities. In this paper, to deal with the ambiguity of entity mentions, we propose a novel Multi-Prototype Mention Embedding model, which learns multiple s...

The synthesis of the three-dimensional morphology of a building is one of the most important tasks in architecture. Space planning and morphology are of the most interesting and complex of architectural design problems. Architectural design is guided by the constraints on the spatial composition and the morphology of the final building. During the conceptual phase problems are characterised by ...

This paper describes a parallel, dynamic programming algorithm for computing the space of high quality , whole-hand grasps of a target object that match a given grasp prototype, or example grasp. The grasp prototype is used to deene a quality measure that allows the contacts of a grasp to be optimized independently. Link conngurations that achieve high quality contacts are identiied and chained...

This paper is about a better understanding on the structure and dynamics of science and the usage of these insights for compensating the typical problems that arises in metadata-driven Digital Libraries. Three science model driven retrieval services are presented: co-word analysis based query expansion, re-ranking via Bradfordizing and author centrality. The services are evaluated with relevanc...

The six-dimensional volume in phase space enclosing the beam from the SLAC injector has been measured. The design of the injector and preliminary measurements on the prototype injector were reported at the National Particle Accelerator Conference, March 10-12, 1~65.~ This paper reports on similar measurements on the completed injector as installed on the SLAC two-mile accelerator. The measureme...

Prototype based neural clustering or data mining methods such as the self-organizing map or neural gas constitute intuitive and powerful machine learning tools for a variety of application areas. However, the classical methods are restricted to data embedded in a real vector space and have only limited applicability to noneuclidean data as occurs in, for example, biomedical or symbolic fields. ...
