In this paper, we focus on the problem of sensor array calibration in the presence of noise field uncertainties. The objective is to compute a reliable estimate of the array response vector given finite sample estimat...

Topology-based methods are of increasing importance in the analysis and visualization of datasets from a wide variety of scientific domains such as biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. Current challenges of topology-based techniques include the management of time-dependent data, the representation of large and complex datasets, the characterization of noise and uncertainty, the effective integration of numerical methods with robust combinatorial algorithms, etc. .
The editors have brought together the most prominent and best recognized researchers in the field of topology-based data analysis and visualization for a joint discussion and scientific exchange of the latest results in the field.
This book contains the best 20 peer-reviewed papers resulting from the discussions and presentations at the third workshop on "Topological Methods in Data Analysis and Visualization", held 2009 in Snowbird, Utah, US. The 2009 "TopoInVis" workshop follows the two successful workshops in 2005 (Slovakia) and 2007 (Germany).
Every day, information on the Web becomes increasingly enriched. Web access is now very useful in many aspects of daily life, particularly for writing documents and programs. In fact, it has become quite usual to edit...

A new musical instrument recognition technique based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) is proposed. The spectral envelope is the key information of instrument characteristic and timbre. We decompose an instrument sound into sinusoidal components (harmonics) and noise components and estimate the amplitudes of the harmonics component. We want to express the spectral envelope effectively using estimated amplitude, therefore, we define three kinds of features and apply a recognition procedure to each feature. The HMM model used is continuous single Gaussian output HMM. To evaluate the performance of the recognition technique, the proposed technique is applied to classify the real instrumental sound of MUMS (MacGill University Master Samples). The recognition success ratio is more than 70%.

We present a randomized differential testing approach to test OpenMP implementations. In contrast to previous work that manually creates dozens of verification and validation tests, our approach is able to randomly generate thousands of tests, exposing OpenMP implementations to a wide range of program behaviors. We represent the space of possible random OpenMP tests using a grammar and implement our method as an extension of the Varity program generator. By generating 1,800 OpenMP tests, we find various performance anomalies and correctness issues when we apply them to three OpenMP implementations: GCC, Clang, and Intel. We also present several case studies that analyze the anomalies and give more details about the classes of tests that our approach creates.

It is possible to broadly characterize two approaches to probabilistic modeling in terms of generative and discriminative methods. Provided with sufficient training data the discriminative approach is expected to yield superior accuracy as compared to the analogous generative model since no modeling power is expended on the marginal distribution of the features. Conversely, if the model is accurate the generative approach can perform better with less data. In general it is less vulnerable to overfitting and allows one to more easily specify meaningful priors on the model parameters. We investigate multi-conditional learning - a method combining the merits of both approaches. Through specifying a joint distribution over classes and features we derive a family of models with analogous parameters. Parameter estimates are found by optimizing an objective function consisting of a weighted combination of conditional log-likelihoods. Systematic experiments in the context of foreground/background pixel classification with the Microsoft-Berkeley segmentation database using mixtures of factor analyzers illustrate tradeoffs between classifier complexity, the amount of training data and generalization accuracy. We show experimentally that this approach can lead to models with better generalization performance than purely generative or discriminative approaches
