The Design of Non-Linear Structures Using a Small Micro-Computer
Some structures combine a requirement for a high degree of safety with the drawback of difficult structural analysis. An example which may be cited is a prestressed concrete pressure vessel for a nuclear react...

Using background contextual knowledge for documents representation
We describe our approach to document representation that captures contextual dependencies between terms in a corpus and makes use of these dependencies to represent documents. We have tried our representation ...

An Information Theoretic Optimal Classifier for Semi-supervised Learning
Model uncertainty refers to the risk associated with basing prediction on only one model. In semi-supervised learning, this uncertainty is greater than in supervised learning (for the same total number of inst...

Further Applications of a Particle Visualization Framework
Previous work introduced a 3D particle visualization framework that viewed each data point as a particle affected by gravitational forces. We showed the use of this tool for visualizing cluster results and ano...

A Dynamic Adaptive Sampling Algorithm (DASA) for Real World Applications: Finger Print Recognition and Face Recognition
In many real world problems, data mining algorithms have access to massive amounts of data (defense and security). Mining all the available data is prohibitive due to computational (time and memory) constraint...

Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering with Constraints: Theoretical and Empirical Results
We explore the use of instance and cluster-level constraints with agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Though previous work has illustrated the benefits of using constraints for non-hierarchical clustering, ...

When Efficient Model Averaging Out-Performs Boosting and Bagging
The Bayes optimal classifier (BOC) is an ensemble technique used extensively in the statistics literature. However, compared to other ensemble techniques such as bagging and boosting, BOC is less known and rar...

Measuring Constraint-Set Utility for Partitional Clustering Algorithms
Clustering with constraints is an active area of machine learning and data mining research. Previous empirical work has convincingly shown that adding constraints to clustering improves performance, with respe...

Chapter
Introduction
This book explores the impact of ideas of space and spatialization on recent and contemporary poetry and demonstrates the way some poetry, through form and content, engages with some of the most pressing and u...

Chapter
Histories of Selves: Space, Identity and Subjectivity
The objectivist concern with placing experience within its context provides some indications earlier on in the twentieth century of the kind of poetry that might emerge from reconfigurations of time and place....

Chapter
Aesthetics of Space: Cubism to Language Poetry
Cubism and the use of collage techniques are both illustrations of the beginnings of a turn towards the ‘spatial’ in the twentieth century, a turn which was, in part, to escape the over-determination of classi...

The Space Age: The 1950s to the 1970s
In the three volumes of The Maximus Poems Charles Olson constructed a poem based on the town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, while in his ‘Lunch Poems’, Frank O’Hara traced his walks through the city of New York. B...

Chapter
Space, Place and Identity
If identity is pragmatically linked to our place of origin and of residence, language, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, then in recent years identities have become more fluid and impermanent as the world’s pop...

Chapter
Through the Looking Glass: Poetry in Virtual Worlds
Writing about the relationship between the Internet, digital technologies and poetry and poetics within the context of changing ideas of space can be both a beguiling and a baffling process. It is beguiling in...

Chapter
Spatial Theories and Poetic Practices
The ‘spatial turn’ in cultural and social theory is more than simply an increased interest in space or spatial relations brought about by low-cost travel, the development of the Internet and the activities of ...

Now You See It: Visual Poetry and the Space of the Page
Despite its marginal status on an experimental wing of the literary world, ‘concrete’ or ‘visual’ poetry, work that emphasizes the materiality of language and the visual elements of the poem, has been an impor...

Keyless Steganography in Spatial Domain Using Energetic Pixels
Steganography is the field of hiding messages in apparently innocuous media (e.g. images). Hiding messages in the pixel intensities of images is a popular approach in spatial domain steganography. However, sin...

Constrained Tensor Decomposition via Guidance: Increased Inter and Intra-Group Reliability in fMRI Analyses
Recently, Davidson and his colleagues introduced a promising new approach to analyzing functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) that suggested a more appropriate analytic approach is one that views the spa...

Learning Automated Agents from Historical Game Data via Tensor Decomposition
War games and military war games, in general, are extensively played throughout the world to help train people and see the effects of policies. Currently, these games are played by humans at great expense and ...
