  text: 'Analysis of genomic data requires an efficient way to calculate likelihoods
    across very large numbers of loci. We describe a general method for finding the
    distribution of genealogies: we allow migration between demes, splitting of demes
    [as in the isolation-with-migration (IM) model], and recombination between linked
    loci. These processes are described by a set of linear recursions for the generating
    function of branch lengths. Under the infinite-sites model, the probability of
    any configuration of mutations can be found by differentiating this generating
    function. Such calculations are feasible for small numbers of sampled genomes:
    as an example, we show how the generating function can be derived explicitly for
    three genes under the two-deme IM model. This derivation is done automatically,
    using Mathematica. Given data from a large number of unlinked and nonrecombining
    blocks of sequence, these results can be used to find maximum-likelihood estimates
    of model parameters by tabulating the probabilities of all relevant mutational
    configurations and then multiplying across loci. The feasibility of the method
    is demonstrated by applying it to simulated data and to a data set previously
    analyzed by Wang and Hey (2010) consisting of 26,141 loci sampled from Drosophila
    simulans and D. melanogaster. Our results suggest that such likelihood calculations
    are scalable to genomic data as long as the numbers of sampled individuals and
    mutations per sequence block are small.'

  text: "Animating detailed liquid surfaces has always been a challenge for computer
    graphics researchers and visual effects artists. Over the past few years, researchers
    in this field have focused on mesh-based surface tracking to synthesize extremely
    detailed liquid surfaces as efficiently as possible. This course provides a solid
    understanding of the steps required to create a fluid simulator with a mesh-based
    liquid surface.\r\n\r\nThe course begins with an overview of several existing
    liquid-surface-tracking techniques and the pros and cons of each method. Then
    it explains how to embed a triangle mesh into a finite-difference-based fluid
    simulator and describes several methods for allowing the liquid surface to merge
    together or break apart. The final section showcases the benefits and further
    applications of a mesh-based liquid surface, highlighting state-of-the-art methods
    for tracking colors and textures, maintaining liquid volume, preserving small
    surface features, and simulating realistic surface-tension waves."

  text: We present a new algorithm for enforcing incompressibility for Smoothed Particle
    Hydrodynamics (SPH) by preserving uniform density across the domain. We propose
    a hybrid method that uses a Poisson solve on a coarse grid to enforce a divergence
    free velocity ﬁeld, followed by a local density correction of the particles. This
    avoids typical grid artifacts and maintains the Lagrangian nature of SPH by directly
    transferring pressures onto particles. Our method can be easily integrated with
    existing SPH techniques such as the incompressible PCISPH method as well as weakly
    compressible SPH by adding an additional force term. We show that this hybrid
    method accelerates convergence towards uniform density and permits a signiﬁcantly
    larger time step compared to earlier approaches while producing similar results.
    We demonstrate our approach in a variety of scenarios with signiﬁcant pressure
    gradients such as splashing liquids.

  text: The chemical master equation is a differential equation describing the time
    evolution of the probability distribution over the possible “states” of a biochemical
    system. The solution of this equation is of interest within the systems biology
    field ever since the importance of the molec- ular noise has been acknowledged.
    Unfortunately, most of the systems do not have analytical solutions, and numerical
    solutions suffer from the course of dimensionality and therefore need to be approximated.
    Here, we introduce the concept of tail approximation, which retrieves an approximation
    of the probabilities in the tail of a distribution from the total probability
    of the tail and its conditional expectation. This approximation method can then
    be used to numerically compute the solution of the chemical master equation on
    a subset of the state space, thus fighting the explosion of the state space, for
    which this problem is renowned.

  text: Cloud computing aims to give users virtually unlimited pay-per-use computing
    resources without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure. We present
    a new job execution environment Flextic that exploits scal- able static scheduling
    techniques to provide the user with a flexible pricing model, such as a tradeoff
    between dif- ferent degrees of execution speed and execution price, and at the
    same time, reduce scheduling overhead for the cloud provider. We have evaluated
    a prototype of Flextic on Amazon EC2 and compared it against Hadoop. For various
    data parallel jobs from machine learning, im- age processing, and gene sequencing
    that we considered, Flextic has low scheduling overhead and reduces job du- ration
    by up to 15% compared to Hadoop, a dynamic cloud scheduler.

  text: Alpha shapes have been conceived in 1981 as an attempt to define the shape
    of a finite set of point in the plane. Since then, connections to diverse areas
    in the sciences and engineering have developed, including to pattern recognition,
    digital shape sampling and processing, and structural molecular biology. This
    survey begins with a historical account and discusses geometric, algorithmic,
    topological, and combinatorial aspects of alpha shapes in this sequence.

  text: We study the 3D reconstruction of plant roots from multiple 2D images. To
    meet the challenge caused by the delicate nature of thin branches, we make three
    innovations to cope with the sensitivity to image quality and calibration. First,
    we model the background as a harmonic function to improve the segmentation of
    the root in each 2D image. Second, we develop the concept of the regularized visual
    hull which reduces the effect of jittering and refraction by ensuring consistency
    with one 2D image. Third, we guarantee connectedness through adjustments to the
    3D reconstruction that minimize global error. Our software is part of a biological
    phenotype/genotype study of agricultural root systems. It has been tested on more
    than 40 plant roots and results are promising in terms of reconstruction quality
    and efficiency.

  text: Interpreting an image as a function on a compact sub- set of the Euclidean
    plane, we get its scale-space by diffu- sion, spreading the image over the entire
    plane. This gener- ates a 1-parameter family of functions alternatively defined
    as convolutions with a progressively wider Gaussian ker- nel. We prove that the
    corresponding 1-parameter family of persistence diagrams have norms that go rapidly
    to zero as time goes to infinity. This result rationalizes experimental observations
    about scale-space. We hope this will lead to targeted improvements of related
    computer vision methods.

  text: We consider two-player games played in real time on game structures with clocks
    where the objectives of players are described using parity conditions. The games
    are concurrent in that at each turn, both players independently propose a time
    delay and an action, and the action with the shorter delay is chosen. To prevent
    a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to play strategies
    that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno run. First,
    we present an efficient reduction of these games to turn-based (i.e., not concurrent)
    finite-state (i.e., untimed) parity games. Our reduction improves the best known
    complexity for solving timed parity games. Moreover, the rich class of algorithms
    for classical parity games can now be applied to timed parity games. The states
    of the resulting game are based on clock regions of the original game, and the
    state space of the finite game is linear in the size of the region graph. Second,
    we consider two restricted classes of strategies for the player that represents
    the controller in a real-time synthesis problem, namely, limit-robust and bounded-robust
    winning strategies. Using a limit-robust winning strategy, the controller cannot
    choose an exact real-valued time delay but must allow for some nonzero jitter
    in each of its actions. If there is a given lower bound on the jitter, then the
    strategy is bounded-robust winning. We show that exact strategies are more powerful
    than limit-robust strategies, which are more powerful than bounded-robust winning
    strategies for any bound. For both kinds of robust strategies, we present efficient
    reductions to standard timed automaton games. These reductions provide algorithms
    for the synthesis of robust real-time controllers.

  text: In addition to being correct, a system should be robust, that is, it should
    behave reasonably even after receiving unexpected inputs. In this paper, we summarize
    two formal notions of robustness that we have introduced previously for reactive
    systems. One of the notions is based on assigning costs for failures on a user-provided
    notion of incorrect transitions in a specification. Here, we define a system to
    be robust if a finite number of incorrect inputs does not lead to an infinite
    number of incorrect outputs. We also give a more refined notion of robustness
    that aims to minimize the ratio of output failures to input failures. The second
    notion is aimed at liveness. In contrast to the previous notion, it has no concept
    of recovery from an error. Instead, it compares the ratio of the number of liveness
    constraints that the system violates to the number of liveness constraints that
    the environment violates.

  text: Parvalbumin is thought to act in a manner similar to EGTA, but how a slow
    Ca2+ buffer affects nanodomain-coupling regimes at GABAergic synapses is unclear.
    Direct measurements of parvalbumin concentration and paired recordings in rodent
    hippocampus and cerebellum revealed that parvalbumin affects synaptic dynamics
    only when expressed at high levels. Modeling suggests that, in high concentrations,
    parvalbumin may exert BAPTA-like effects, modulating nanodomain coupling via competition
    with local saturation of endogenous fixed buffers.

  text: We address the problem of metric learning for multi-view data, namely the
    construction of embedding projections from data in different representations into
    a shared feature space, such that the Euclidean distance in this space provides
    a meaningful within-view as well as between-view similarity. Our motivation stems
    from the problem of cross-media retrieval tasks, where the availability of a joint
    Euclidean distance function is a pre-requisite to allow fast, in particular hashing-based,
    nearest neighbor queries. We formulate an objective function that expresses the
    intuitive concept that matching samples are mapped closely together in the output
    space, whereas non-matching samples are pushed apart, no matter in which view
    they are available. The resulting optimization problem is not convex, but it can
    be decomposed explicitly into a convex and a concave part, thereby allowing efficient
    optimization using the convex-concave procedure. Experiments on an image retrieval
    task show that nearest-neighbor based cross-view retrieval is indeed possible,
    and the proposed technique improves the retrieval accuracy over baseline techniques.

  text: Powerful statistical models that can be learned efficiently from large amounts
    of data are currently revolutionizing computer vision. These models possess a
    rich internal structure reflecting task-specific relations and constraints. This
    monograph introduces the reader to the most popular classes of structured models
    in computer vision. Our focus is discrete undirected graphical models which we
    cover in detail together with a description of algorithms for both probabilistic
    inference and maximum a posteriori inference. We discuss separately recently successful
    techniques for prediction in general structured models. In the second part of
    this monograph we describe methods for parameter learning where we distinguish
    the classic maximum likelihood based methods from the more recent prediction-based
    parameter learning methods. We highlight developments to enhance current models
    and discuss kernelized models and latent variable models. To make the monograph
    more practical and to provide links to further study we provide examples of successful
    application of many methods in the computer vision literature.

  text: We study multi-label prediction for structured output spaces, a problem that
    occurs, for example, in object detection in images, secondary structure prediction
    in computational biology, and graph matching with symmetries. Conventional multi-label
    classification techniques are typically not applicable in this situation, because
    they require explicit enumeration of the label space, which is infeasible in case
    of structured outputs. Relying on techniques originally designed for single- label
    structured prediction, in particular structured support vector machines, results
    in reduced prediction accuracy, or leads to infeasible optimization problems.
    In this work we derive a maximum-margin training formulation for multi-label structured
    prediction that remains computationally tractable while achieving high prediction
    accuracy. It also shares most beneficial properties with single-label maximum-margin
    approaches, in particular a formulation as a convex optimization problem, efficient
    working set training, and PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds.

  text: We present a new decidable logic called TREX for expressing constraints about
    imperative tree data structures. In particular, TREX supports a transitive closure
    operator that can express reachability constraints, which often appear in data
    structure invariants. We show that our logic is closed under weakest precondition
    computation, which enables its use for automated software verification. We further
    show that satisfiability of formulas in TREX is decidable in NP. The low complexity
    makes it an attractive alternative to more expensive logics such as monadic second-order
    logic (MSOL) over trees, which have been traditionally used for reasoning about
    tree data structures.

  text: 'Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that
    a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program''s transition
    relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus
    of current tools has been on developing sophisticated techniques for constructing
    the abstractions while relying on known decidable logics (such as linear arithmetic)
    to express them. We believe we can significantly increase the class of programs
    that are amenable to automated termination proofs by identifying more expressive
    decidable logics for reasoning about well-founded relations. We therefore present
    a new decision procedure for reasoning about multiset orderings, which are among
    the most powerful orderings used to prove termination. We show that, using our
    decision procedure, one can automatically prove termination of natural abstractions
    of programs.'

  text: We introduce streaming data string transducers that map input data strings
    to output data strings in a single left-to-right pass in linear time. Data strings
    are (unbounded) sequences of data values, tagged with symbols from a finite set,
    over a potentially infinite data do- main that supports only the operations of
    equality and ordering. The transducer uses a finite set of states, a finite set
    of variables ranging over the data domain, and a finite set of variables ranging
    over data strings. At every step, it can make decisions based on the next in-
    put symbol, updating its state, remembering the input data value in its data variables,
    and updating data-string variables by concatenat- ing data-string variables and
    new symbols formed from data vari- ables, while avoiding duplication. We establish
    that the problems of checking functional equivalence of two streaming transducers,
    and of checking whether a streaming transducer satisfies pre/post verification
    conditions specified by streaming acceptors over in- put/output data-strings,
    are in PSPACE. We identify a class of imperative and a class of functional pro-
    grams, manipulating lists of data items, which can be effectively translated to
    streaming data-string transducers. The imperative pro- grams dynamically modify
    a singly-linked heap by changing next- pointers of heap-nodes and by adding new
    nodes. The main re- striction specifies how the next-pointers can be used for
    traversal. We also identify an expressively equivalent fragment of functional
    programs that traverse a list using syntactically restricted recursive calls.
    Our results lead to algorithms for assertion checking and for checking functional
    equivalence of two programs, written possibly in different programming styles,
    for commonly used routines such as insert, delete, and reverse.

  text: 'Weighted automata map input words to numerical values. Ap- plications of
    weighted automata include formal verification of quantitative properties, as well
    as text, speech, and image processing. A weighted au- tomaton is defined with
    respect to a semiring. For the tropical semiring, the weight of a run is the sum
    of the weights of the transitions taken along the run, and the value of a word
    is the minimal weight of an accepting run on it. In the 90’s, Krob studied the
    decidability of problems on rational series defined with respect to the tropical
    semiring. Rational series are strongly related to weighted automata, and Krob’s
    results apply to them. In par- ticular, it follows from Krob’s results that the
    universality problem (that is, deciding whether the values of all words are below
    some threshold) is decidable for weighted automata defined with respect to the
    tropical semir- ing with domain ∪ {∞}, and that the equality problem is undecidable
    when the domain is ∪ {∞}. In this paper we continue the study of the borders of
    decidability in weighted automata, describe alternative and direct proofs of the
    above results, and tighten them further. Unlike the proofs of Krob, which are
    algebraic in their nature, our proofs stay in the terrain of state machines, and
    the reduction is from the halting problem of a two-counter machine. This enables
    us to significantly simplify Krob’s reasoning, make the un- decidability result
    accessible to the automata-theoretic community, and strengthen it to apply already
    to a very simple class of automata: all the states are accepting, there are no
    initial nor final weights, and all the weights on the transitions are from the
    set {−1, 0, 1}. The fact we work directly with the automata enables us to tighten
    also the decidability re- sults and to show that the universality problem for
    weighted automata defined with respect to the tropical semiring with domain ∪
    {∞}, and in fact even with domain ≥0 ∪ {∞}, is PSPACE-complete. Our results thus
    draw a sharper picture about the decidability of decision problems for weighted
    automata, in both the front of containment vs. universality and the front of the
    ∪ {∞} vs. the ∪ {∞} domains.'

  text: We solve the open problems of translating, when possible, all common classes
    of nondeterministic word automata to deterministic and nondeterministic co-Büchi
    word automata. The handled classes include Büchi, parity, Rabin, Streett and Muller
    automata. The translations follow a unified approach and are all asymptotically
    tight. The problem of translating Büchi automata to equivalent co-Büchi automata
    was solved in [2], leaving open the problems of translating automata with richer
    acceptance conditions. For these classes, one cannot easily extend or use the
    construction in [2]. In particular, going via an intermediate Büchi automaton
    is not optimal and might involve a blow-up exponentially higher than the known
    lower bound. Other known translations are also not optimal and involve a doubly
    exponential blow-up. We describe direct, simple, and asymptotically tight constructions,
    involving a 2Θ(n) blow-up. The constructions are variants of the subset construction,
    and allow for symbolic implementations. Beyond the theoretical importance of the
    results, the new constructions have various applications, among which is an improved
    algorithm for translating, when possible, LTL formulas to deterministic Büchi
    word automata.
