Toward a Taxonomy and Computational Models of Abnormalities in Images
No full textThe human visual system can spot an abnormal image, and reason about what makes it strange. This task has not received enough attention in computer vision. In this paper we study various types of atypicalities in images in a more comprehensive way than has been done before. We propose a new dataset of abnormal images showing a wide range of atypicalities. We design human subject experiments to discover a coarse taxonomy of the reasons for abnormality. Our experiments reveal three major categories of abnormality: object-centric, scene-centric, and contextual. Based on this taxonomy, we propose a comprehensive computational model that can predict all different types of abnormality in images and outperform prior arts in abnormality recognition.Peer reviewe
PENCIPTAAN SKENARIO FILM FIKSI SIBILAH LANTAI DENGAN MENERAPKAN STRUKTUR TIGA BABAK DALAM MENINGKATKAN SUSPENSE
No full textABSTRAK Skenario berfungsi untuk menuangkan ide cerita, sebagai acuan dalam produksi. Skenario film adalah susunan-susunan adegan yang mengandung unsur naratif disampaikan melalui media film. Struktur tiga babak adalah plot cerita yang disusun melalui tiga tahap yaitu babak I, babak 2 dan babak 3. Dalam skripsi ini pengkarya menciptakan sebuah skenario film fiksi dari tahap menemukan ide sampai menjadikan skenario yang utuh. Pengkarya menciptakan skenario Sibilah Lantai dengan menggunakan pola cerita struktur tiga babak dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan suspense agar cerita yang disampaikan lebih menanrik dan pembaca dapat menikmati jalan ceritanya. Pengkarya menata suspense dalan setiap babak, sehingga pembaca bisa merasakan ketegangan pada babak 1, 2, dan 3. Skenario film fiksi yang berjudul Sibilah Lnatai ini berkisah tentang seorang pemuda pengangguran dan pemalas yang selalu di hina oleh orang-orang dilingkungannya. Hingga akhirnya pemuda ini mempelajari ilmu pelet sibilah lantai pada seorang dukun terkenal di kampunya, akan tetap setelah ia mempelajari pelet tersebut, pemuda ini justru menyalah gunakan sibilah lantai untuk memperkosa gadis-gadis di kampungnya. Dengan ide ini pengkarya membangun jalan cerita dengan menciptakan suspense disetiap babak agar ceita yang ingin disampaikan pengkarya lebih menarik dan pembaca dibawa kedalam pikiran dan perasaan tokoh.Kata Kunci : Sibilah Lantai, Skenario, Struktur Tiga Babak, suspense. ABSTRACTScenarios serve to convey story ideas, as a reference in production. Film scenarios are scene arrangements containing narrative elements delivered through film media. The three-act structure is the plot of the story which is arranged in three stages, namely Act I, Act 2 and Act 3. In this thesis the author creates a fictional film scenario from the stage of finding ideas to making a complete scenario. The author creates the Sibilah Floor scenario using a three-act structure story pattern with the aim of increasing suspense so that the story told is more interesting and the reader can enjoy the storyline. The author arranges suspense in each act, so that the reader can feel the tension in acts 1, 2, and 3. This fictional film scenario entitled Sibilah Lnatai tells the story of an unemployed and lazy young man who is always despised by the people in his environment. Until finally this young man learned the science of floor sibilah pellets from a famous shaman in his village, but after he learned the pellets, this young man actually misused the floor sibilah to rape the girls in his village. With this idea, the writer builds the storyline by creating suspense in each chapter so that the story that the author wants to convey is more interesting and the reader is brought into the thoughts and feelings of the characters.Keywords: Floor Plan, Scenario, Three Act Structure, suspense
Thurston geodesics: no backtracking and active intervals
No full textWe develop the notion of the active interval for a subsurface along a geodesic in the Thurston metric on Teichmuller space of a surface S. That is, for any geodesic in the Thurston metric and any subsurface R of S, we find an interval of times where the length of the boundary of R is uniformly bounded and the restriction of the geodesic to the subsurface R resembles a geodesic in the Teichmuller space of R. In particular, the set of short curves in R during the active interval represents a reparametrized quasi-geodesic in the curve graph of R (no backtracking) and the amount of movement in the curve graph of R outside of the active interval is uniformly bounded which justifies the name active interval. These intervals provide an analogue of the active intervals introduced by the third author in the setting of Teichmuller space equipped with the Teichmuller metric.43 pages, 2 figure

Optimizing parallel I/O performance of HPC applications
No full textParallel I/O is an essential component of modern High Performance Computing (HPC). Obtaining good I/O performance for a broad range of applications on diverse HPC platforms is a major challenge, in part because of complex inter-dependencies between I/O middleware and hardware. The parallel file system and I/O middleware layers all offer optimization parameters that can, in theory, result in better I/O performance. Unfortunately, the right combination of parameters is highly dependent on the application, HPC platform, and problem size/concurrency. Scientific application developers do not have the time or expertise to take on the substantial burden of identifying good parameters for each problem configuration. They resort to using system defaults, a choice that frequently results in poor I/O performance. We expect this problem to be compounded on exascale class machines, which will likely have a deeper software stack with hierarchically arranged hardware resources.
We present a line of solution to this problem containing an autotuning system for optimizing I/O performance, I/O performance modeling, I/O tuning, I/O kernel generation, and I/O patterns. We demonstrate the value of these solution across platforms, applications, and at scale.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2017-12-01The student, Babak Behzad, accepted the attached license on 2015-11-20 at 13:31.The student, Babak Behzad, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-11-20 at 13:45.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-11-23 at 13:41.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8816 on 2016-03-02 at 14:06:01Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-02T20:23:36Z (GMT).

No full textBreaking through bureaucracy: a new vision for managing in government
No full textThis book attacks the conventional wisdom that bureaucrats are bunglers and the system can't be changed. Michael Barzelay and Babak Armajani trace the source of much poor performance in government to the persistent influence of what they call the bureaucratic paradigm - a theory built on such notions as central control, economy and efficiency, and rigid adherence to rules. Rarely questioned, the bureaucratic paradigm leads competent and faithful public servants - as well as politicians - unwittingly to impair government's ability to serve citizens by weakening, misplacing, and misdirecting accountability.How can this system be changed? Drawing on research sponsored by the Ford Foundation/Harvard University program on Innovations in State and Local Government, this book tells the story of how public officials in one state, Minnesota, cast off the conceptual blinders of the bureaucratic paradigm and experimented with ideas such as customer service, empowering front-line employees to resolve problems, and selectively introducing market forces within government. The author highlights the arguments government executives made for the changes they proposed, traces the way these changes were implemented, and summarizes the impressive results. This approach provides would-be bureaucracy busters with a powerful method for dramatically improving the way government manages the public's business.Generalizing from the Minnesota experience and from similar efforts nationwide, the book proposes a new paradigm that will reframe the perennial debate on public management. With its carefully analyzed ideas, real-life examples, and closely reasoned practical advice, Breaking Through Bureaucracy is indispensable to public managers and students of public policy and administration

Phase Field-Based Incompressible Two-Component Liquid Flow Simulation
No full textIn this work, we consider a Cahn–Hilliard phase field-based computational model for immiscible and incompressible two-component liquid flows with interfacial phenomena. This diffuse-interface complex-fluid model is given by the incompressible Navier–Stokes–Cahn–Hilliard (NSCH) equations. The coupling of the flow and phase field equations is given by an extra phase induced surface tension force term in the flow equations and a fluid induced transport term in the Cahn–Hilliard (CH) equations. Galerkin-based isogeometric finite element analysis is applied for space discretization of the coupled system in velocity–pressure–phase field–chemical potential formulation. For the approximation of the velocity and pressure fields, LBB compatible non-uniform rational B-spline spaces are used which can be regarded as smooth generalizations of Taylor–Hood pairs of finite element spaces. The one-step θ-scheme is used for the discretization in time. For the validation of the two-phase flow model, we present numerical results for the challenging Rayleigh-Taylor instability flow problem in two dimensions and compare them to reference results.Accepted author manuscriptNumerical Analysi
