Kara Gust interviews prolific author and poet, retired Michigan State University Professor Hugh B. Fox
No full textProlific author and poet, retired Michigan State University Professor Hugh B. Fox talks about his early family life in Chicago and his writing career. Fox explains how he became acquainted with theater, music, and ballet at a young age and how he was forced into medical school, but later abandoned it to pursue the liberal arts and writing. Fox talks about his many interests including archeology, and his treatise on author and friend Charles Bukowski. Fox is interviewed by Kara Gust for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series
A Simple Deterministic Near-Linear Time Approximation Scheme for Transshipment with Arbitrary Positive Edge Costs
No full textWe describe a simple deterministic near-linear time approximation scheme for uncapacitated minimum cost flow in undirected graphs with positive real edge weights, a problem also known as transshipment. Specifically, our algorithm takes as input a (connected) undirected graph G = (V, E), vertex demands b ∈ R^V such that ∑_{v ∈ V} b(v) = 0, positive edge costs c ∈ R_{> 0}^E, and a parameter ε > 0. In O(ε^{-2} m log^{O(1)} n) time, it returns a flow f such that the net flow out of each vertex is equal to the vertex’s demand and the cost of the flow is within a (1 + ε) factor of optimal. Our algorithm is combinatorial and has no running time dependency on the demands or edge costs.
With the exception of a recent result presented at STOC 2022 for polynomially bounded edge weights, all almost- and near-linear time approximation schemes for transshipment relied on randomization to embed the problem instance into low-dimensional space. Our algorithm instead deterministically approximates the cost of routing decisions that would be made if the input were subject to a random tree embedding. To avoid computing the Ω(n²) vertex-vertex distances that an approximation of this kind suggests, we also take advantage of the clustering method used in the well-known Thorup-Zwick distance oracle
Travellers' Tales in Cognitive Bias Modification Research: A Commentary on the Special Issue
No full textThis brief commentary reflects on the current Special Issue on "Cognitive Bias Modification Techniques: Current findings and future challenges". We consider past perspectives, present findings and future applications of "cognitive bias modification" (CBM) training procedures. In an interview with Marcella L. Woud, Bundy Mackintosh responds with her thoughts as an experienced 'traveler', given her pioneering work at the early stages of CBM research. Elaine Fox provides an overview of developments since the last special issue on CBM that she helped to co-edit in 2009, and Emily A. Holmes reflects on what might need to be done in order to translate the results of CBM research into therapeutic practice. All three conclude that, much as we might wish for a CBM 'tardis' time travel machine, there is much basic and translational science work to be done before the fruits of CBM research will be seen in the clinic. Systematic, thorough, and collaborative efforts will be needed, and we urge researchers to pay more attention to developing appropriate methodologies to enable the 'transfer' of training to clinical symptoms. Given the colossal clinical need to innovate and develop the content and delivery of mental health treatments, CBM research needs to keep travelling slowly, surely, and further. It is important to note that given low intensity of delivery, even studies with small effect sizes may be beneficial at a public health level. We should keep going, but retain strong roots in experimental psychopathology to maintain the quality and understanding of how cognitive factors are central to mental health and to the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York
