Seymour Marvin "Cy" Leslie (December 16, 1922 – January 6, 2008) was the founder of Pickwick Records, and the first president and founder of MGM/UA Home Entertainment Group. Pickwick Records aimed to make music more affordable, and carried such artists as Elvis Presley at various times. MGM Home Video was the first company to enter the home video business, which today has become the home entertainment industry including DVD and other sales. He began his career by founding Voco Records, producing record greeting cards, and later children's records. Cy Leslie received his Bachelor's degree from Syracuse University, before being deployed by th...

Leslie '89 is a cantopop album by Leslie Cheung released in 1989 by Cinepoly Records of Hong Kong. It was also his supposed penultimate album before the final album Final Encounter (he had planned for retirement from the Cantopop music scene, although he made a return in 1995) also released in 1989.

Leslie What (born Leslie Nelson, 1955) is a writer of fantasy and literary fiction and nonfiction. She began publishing in 1992 with a story for Asimov's Science Fiction.

Abstract: Tsuchiya and Muramatsu recently proved that the affine-scaling algorithm for linear programming generates convergent sequences of primal and dual variables whose limits are optimal for the corresponding primal and dual problems as long as the step size is no more than two-thirds of the distance to the nearest face of the polytope. An important feature of this result is that it does not require any nondegeneracy assumptions. In this paper we show that Tsuchiya and Muramatsu's result is sharp by providing a simple linear programming problem for which the sequence of dual variables fails to conve...

Abstract: A list of positions in an n n real matrix (a pattern) is said to have P-completion if every partial P-matrix that specifies exactly these positions can be completed to a P-matrix. We extend work of Johnson and Kroschel [JK] by proving a larger class of patterns has P- completion, including any 4 4 pattern with eight or fewer off-diagonal positions. We also show that any pattern whose digraph contains a minimally chordal symmetric-Hamiltonian induced subdigraph does not have P-completion. AMS Subject Classification: 15A48 Keywords: matrix completion, P-matrix, pattern, digraph, Hamiltonian 1. I...

Abstract: A new open-loop heat flux control technique has been developed to conduct transient thermal testing of thick, thermallyconductive aerospace structures. This technique uses calibration of the radiant heater system power level as a function of heat flux, predicted aerodynamic heat flux, and the properties of an instrumented test article. An iterative process was used to generate open-loop heater power profiles prior to each transient thermal test. Differences between the measured and predicted surface temperatures were used to refine the heater power level command profiles through the iteration ...

Abstract: A key element of many bioinformatics research problems is the extraction of meaningful information from large experimental data sets. Various approaches, including statistical and graph theoretical methods, data mining, and computational pattern recognition, have been applied to this task with varying degrees of success. We have previously shown that a genetic algorithm coupled with a knearest -neighbors classifier performs well in extracting information about protein-water binding from X-ray crystallographic protein structure data. Using a novel classifier based on the Bayes discriminant func...

Abstract: : Our algorithm, called Mosquito 3 , allows sources to be ignorant of their statistics but offers near-optimal utilisation of the network. Our approach is based on Large Deviation Theory : the large deviation rate-function (entropy) of bursty ATM traffic can be estimated from measurements of traffic activity. The entropy can be used to determine the bandwidth requirement of the traffic. In this paper, we explain the basic ideas behind the algorithm and describe its implementation. We present some results of a statistical investigation of the performance of the Mosquito CAC algorithm comparing ...

Abstract:

Abstract: Cooperative games are those in which both agents share the same payoff structure. Valuebased reinforcement-learning algorithms, such as variants of Q-learning, have been applied to learning cooperative games, but they only apply when the game state is completely observable to both agents. Policy search methods are a reasonable alternative to value-based methods for partially observable environments. In this paper, we provide a gradient-based distributed policysearch method for cooperative games and compare the notion of local optimum to that of Nash equilibrium. We demonstrate the effectivenes...

Abstract: An architecture is described for designing systems that acquire and manipulate large amounts of unsystematized, or so called commonsense, knowledge. Its aim is to exploit to the full those aspects of computational learning that are known to offer powerful solutions in the acquisition and maintenance of robust knowledge bases. The architecture makes explicit and therefore controllable the computational mechanisms and requirements of the basic computational tasks that are to be performed. The views that it offers on a range of issues that had been previously identified as problematic for the rea...
