With recent advances in imaging technologies large numbers of bioimages are currently being acquired. Automated classification of these bio-images is a very important and challenging problem. Here we investigate the capabilities of local features and the
The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) ASTM-2761 Standard specifies an architecture for real-time medical device interoperability, and a set of Clinical Concepts of Operations (CConOps). Based on an analysis of the CConOps, all showing improved patient

We investigate optimal experiment selection to train a classi er on gas sensor arrays to get the maximal possible performance in a limited number of experiments. In gas sensing, while collecting data for a particular sensor array, one has to choose what
How does one inspect terabyte-sized 3D images visually from multiple viewpoints? The current solutions are limited to gigabyte-sized images using specialized hardware to achieve interactivity and lacking the ability to share data for collaborative research
This work addresses the problem of re-projecting a terabyte-sized 3D data set represented as a set of 2D Deep Zoom pyramids. In general, a re-projection for small 3D data sets is executed directly in RAM. However, RAM becomes a limiting factor for terabyte

We present a characterization of four basic terabyte size image computations on a Hadoop cluster in terms of their relative efficiency according to the modified Amdahls law. The work is motivated by the fact that there is a lack of standard benchmarks and

A key aspect of the next generation Smart Networked System (SNS) is the bridge between the physical and virtual world. These systems that tightly interlink the cyber and physical worlds are often referred to as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A CPS is the
The NIST Open Keyword Search 2013 (OpenKWS13) Evaluation Workshop was the culmination of the first in a series of community-wide evaluations to test research systems that search for keywords in audio of a "surprise" language. OpenKWS13 made use of the

Transformative Apps (TransApps) is a DARPA-funded program whose goal is to develop a range of militarily-relevant software applications ("apps") to enhance the operational-effectiveness of military personnel on (and off) the battlefield. TransApps is also
DLMF was released to the public in May 2010 and is now completing its 3rd year online. As a somewhat early adopter of large-scale MathML content online, and exposing a math-aware search engine to the public, the project encountered situations distinct from
Non-rigid and partial 3D model retrieval are two significant and challenging research directions in the field of 3D model retrieval. Little work has been done in proposing a hybrid shape descriptor that works for both retrieval scenarios, let alone the

To evaluate the performance of speaker recognition systems, a detection cost function defined as a weighted sum of the probabilities of type I and type II errors is employed. The speaker datasets may have data dependency due to multiple uses of the same
LaTeXML, a TeX to XML converter, is being used in a wide range of MKM applications. In this paper, we present a progress report for the 2012 calendar year. Noteworthy enhancements include: increased coverage such as Wikipedia syntax; enhanced capabilities

We present the results of the Joint Student Response Analysis and 8th Recognizing Textual Entailment Challenge, aiming to bring together researchers in educational NLP technology and textual entailment. The task of giving feedback on student answers
Content-based 3D object retrieval has be- come an active topic in many research communities. In this paper, we propose a novel visual similarity based 3Dshaperetrievalmethod(CM-BOF)usingClockMatch- ing and Bag-of-Features. Specifically, pose normaliza-
Sketch-based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of sketch-based 3D shape retrieval methods based on a large scale hand-drawn sketch

Many objects in the PrIKL Reasoner have a canonical representation. This representation and its implementation required a number of choices with ramifications. This paper describes the choices, their consequences, and some of the more interesting
This work describes the design and implementation of an auction system using secure multiparty computation techniques. Our aim is to produce a system that is practical under actual eld constraints on computation, mem- ory, and communication. The underlying
