Over the last decades, graphics processing units have developed from special-purpose graphics accelerators to general-purpose massively parallel co-processors. In recent years they gained increased traction in high performance computing, as they provide superior computational performance in terms of runtime and energy consumption for a wide range of problems. In this survey, we review their employment in distributed computing for a broad range of application scenarios. Common characteristics and a classification of the most relevant use cases are described. Furthermore, we discuss possible future developments of the use of general purpose graphics processing units in the area of service-oriented architecture. The aim of this work is to inspire future research in this field and to give guidelines on when and how to incorporate this new hardware technology.

In this work, a methodology is developed to detect sentient actors in spoken stories. Meta-tags are then saved to XML files associated with the audio files. A recursive approach is used to find actor candidates and features which are then classified using machine learning approaches. Results of the study indicate that the methodology performed well on a narrative based corpus of children's stories. Using Support Vector Machines for classification, an F-measure accuracy score of 86% was achieved for both named and unnamed entities. Additionally, feature analysis indicated that speech features were very useful when detecting unnamed actors.
Preservation of architectural knowledge faces substantial challenges, most notably due the high level of data heterogeneity. On the one hand, low-level architectural models include 3D models and point cloud data up to...

Multiresolution analysis of image data based on the novel m-channel linear-phase paraunitary filter banks (LP PUFBs) using quaternion multipliers are presented, which are aimed at finite-precision implementation. In the given paper the universal quaternion multiplier as a kernel of m-band wavelets analysis on combining the CORDIC algorithm with a lifting scheme is considered. Finally, the FPGA-based eight-channel linear phase paraunitary filter bank is validated by its application to image, in particular, to lossless-to-lossy coding.

Autonomous navigation for large Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is fairly straight-forward, as expensive sensors and monitoring devices can be employed. In contrast, obstacle avoidance remains a challenging task for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) which operate at low altitude in cluttered environments. Unlike large vehicles, MAVs can only carry very light sensors, such as cameras, making autonomous navigation through obstacles much more challenging. In this paper, we describe a system that navigates a small quadrotor helicopter autonomously at low altitude through natural forest environments. Using only a single cheap camera to perceive the environment, we are able to maintain a constant velocity of up to 1.5m/s. Given a small set of human pilot demonstrations, we use recent state-of-the-art imitation learning techniques to train a controller that can avoid trees by adapting the MAVs heading. We demonstrate the performance of our system in a more controlled environment indoors, and in real natural forest environments outdoors.
In this paper we propose a memetic algorithm (MA) for the partition graph coloring problem. Given a clustered graph G = (V,E), the goal is to find a subset V ⊠V that contains exactly one node for each cluster a...

Integral image data structures are very useful in computer vision applications that involve machine learning approaches based on ensembles of weak learners. The weak learners often are simply several regional sums of intensities subtracted from each other. In this work we present a memory efficient integral volume data structure, that allows reduction of required RAM storage size in such a supervised learning framework using 3D training data. We evaluate our proposed data structure in terms of the tradeoff between computational effort and storage, and show an application for 3D object detection of liver CT data.

User-generated content on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook provides opportunity for researchers in various fields to understand human behaviors and social phenomena. On the one hand, these human behaviors and social phenomena are very complex in nature thus require in-depth qualitative analysis. On the other, the magnitude of social media data requires large-scale data analysis techniques. In this paper, we propose a web-based tool named SWAB (Social Web Analysis Buddy) that integrates both qualitative analysis and large-scale data mining techniques. Specifically, this tool supports asynchronous collaboration among researchers conducting inductive content analysis on textural data from users' online posts and conversations. It then aggregates the results and calculates the agreement among researchers, and builds modeling algorithms based on the qualitative results to classify large-scale social media text content. This current paper focuses on the overall workflow and user interface design of this tool. We demonstrate the prototype of this tool by analyzing student-posted content on Twitter.
