 | Gerig, Guido | A joint framework for 4D segmentation and estimation of smooth temporal appearance changes | Medical imaging studies increasingly use longitudinal images of individual subjects in order to follow-up changes due to development, degeneration, disease progression or efficacy of therapeutic intervention. Repeated image data of individuals are highly correlated, and the strong causality of infor... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Berzins, Martin | A survey of high level frameworks in block-structured adaptive mesh refinement packages | Over the last decade block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) has found increasing use in large, publicly available codes and frameworks. SAMR frameworks have evolved along different paths. Some have stayed focused on specific domain areas, others have pursued a more general functionality, p... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Hansen, Charles D. | Boundary aware reconstruction of scalar fields | In visualization, the combined role of data reconstruction and its classification plays a crucial role. In this paper we propose a novel approach that improves classification of different materials and their boundaries by combining information from the classifiers at the reconstruction stage.

 | Regehr, John | Cause reduction for quick testing | Abstract-In random testing, it is often desirable to produce a "quick test" - an extremely inexpensive test suite that can serve as a frequently applied regression and allow the benefits of random testing to be obtained even in very slow or oversubscribed test environments. Delta debugging is an alg... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Pascucci, Valerio | Conforming Morse-Smale complexes | Morse-Smale (MS) complexes have been gaining popularity as a tool for feature-driven data analysis and visualization. However, the quality of their geometric embedding and the sole dependence on the input scalar field data can limit their applicability when expressing application-dependent features.... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Bargteil, Adam Wade | Deformation embedding for point-based elastoplastic simulation | We present a straightforward, easy-to-implement, point-based approach for animating elastoplastic materials. The core idea of our approach is the introduction of embedded space-the least-squares best fit of the material's rest state into three dimensions. Nearest neighbor queries in the embedded spa... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Riloff, Ellen M. | Domain-specific coreference resolution with lexicalized features | Most coreference resolvers rely heavily on string matching, syntactic properties, and semantic attributes of words, but they lack the ability to make decisions based on individual words. In this paper, we explore the benefits of lexicalized features in the setting of domain-specific coreference reso... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Bargteil, Adam Wade | Dynamic sprites | Traditional methods for creating dynamic objects and characters from static drawings involve careful tweaking of animation curves and/or simulation parameters. Sprite sheets offer a more drawing-centric solution, but they do not encode timing information or the logic that determines how objects shou... | 2014-01-01 | |
