Reifying literals clearly increases expressivity. But reified literals appear to waste memory, slow queries, and complicate graph-based models. We show where this practice can be comparable to unreified literals in these respects and we characterize the cost where it is not. We offer examples of how reification allows literals to participate in a variety of relations enabling a marked increase in expressivity. We begin with a case study in reified person names, and then extend this analysis to reified dates and simple reified scalar values. We show benefits for name matching and temporal analysis such as would be of interest to the Intelligence Community (IC). We then show how these same sorts of analyses can drive or inform any decision as to whether to reify literals.

Matrix representations for graphs play an important role in combinatorics. In this paper, we investigate four matrix representations for graphs and carry out an characteristic polynomial analysis upon them. the first two graph matrices are the adjacency matrix and Laplacian matrix. these two matrices call be obtained straightforwardly from graphs. the second two matrix representations, which are newly introduced [9][3], arc closely related withthe Ihara zeta function and the discrete time quantum walk. they have a similar form and are established from a transformed graph. i.e. the oriented line graph of the original graph. We make use of the characteristic polynomial coefficients of the four matrices to characterize graphs and construct pattern spaces with a fixed dimensionality. Experimental results indicate that the two matrices in the transformed domain perform better than the two matrices in the original graph domain whereas the matrix associated withthe Ihara zeta function is more efficient and effective than the matrix associated withthe discrete time quantum walk and the remaining methods.

Structural patternrecognition describes and classifies data based on the relationships of features and parts. Topological invariants, like the Euler number, characterize the structure of objects of any dimension. Cohomology can provide more refined algebraic invariants to a topological space that does homology. It assigns 'quantities' to the chains used in homology to characterize holes of any dimension. graph pyramids can be used to describe subdivisions of the same object at multiple levels of detail. this paper presents cohomology in the context of structural patternrecognition and introduces an algorithm to efficiency compute representative cocycles (the basic elements of cohomology) in 2D using a graph pyramid. Extension to nD and application in the context of patternrecognition are discussed.

the collection of behavior protocols is a common practice in human factors research, but the analysis of these large data sets has always been a tedious and time-consuming process. We are interested in automatically finding canonical behaviors: a small subset of behavioral protocols that is most representative of the full data set, providing a view of the data with as few protocols as possible. Behavior protocols often have a natural graph-based representation, yet there has been little work applying graphtheory to their study. In this paper we extend our recent algorithm by taking into account the graph topology induced by the paths taken through the space of possible behaviors. We applied this technique to find canonical web-browsing behaviors for computer users. By comparing identified canonical sets to a ground truth determined by expert human coders. we found that this graph-based metric outperforms our previous metric based on edit distance.

the traveling salesman problem (TSP) is difficult to solve for input instances with large number of cities. Instead of finding the solution for an input with a large number of cities, the problem is transformed into a simpler form containing smaller number of cities, which is then solved optimally. graph pyramid solution strategies, using Boruvka's minimum spanning tree step, convert, in a bottom-up processing, a 2D Euclidean TSP problem with a large number of cities into successively smaller problems (graphs) with similar layout and solution, until the number of cities is small enough to seek the optimal solution. Expanding this tour solution in a top-down manner, to the lower levels of the pyramid, leads to an approximate solution. the new model has an adaptive spatial structure and it simulates visual acuity and visual attention. the model solves the TSP problem sequentially, by moving attention from city to city, and the quality of the solutions is similar to the solutions produced by humans. the graph pyramid data structures and processing strategies provide good methods for finding near-optimal solutions for computationally hard problems. Isolating processing used by humans to solve computationally hard problems is of general importance to psychology community and might lead to advances in patternrecognition. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

We introduce a method for computing homology groups and their generators of a 2D image, using a hierarchical structure, i.e. irregular graph pyramid. Starting from an image, a hierarchy of the image is built by two operations that preserve homology of each region. Instead of computing homology generators in the base where the number of entities (cells) is large, we first reduce the number of cells by a graph pyramid. then homology generators are computed efficiently on the top level of the pyramid, since the number of cells is small. A top down process is then used to deduce homology generators in any level of the pyramid, including the base level, i.e. the initial image. the produced generators fit on the object boundaries. A unique set of generators called the minimal set, is defined and its computation is discussed. We show that the new method produces valid homology generators and present some experimental results.
