Inference for Mechanistic Network Models and Visualization of Real-World Network Data
(2023-09-07)Network analysis enables a comprehensive investigation of disease transmission dynamics by modeling and analyzing interactions among individuals and their connections. Mechanistic network models allow for modeling and ... -
Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 1992)The Gibbs sampler, the algorithm of Metropolis and similar iterative simulation methods are potentially very helpful for summarizing multivariate distributions. Used naively, however, iterative simulation can give misleading ... -
Inference in relational reasoning: A case study of Relational-Match-to-Sample
(2021-05-12)Adult humans are uniquely proficient in reasoning with abstract relations (relational reasoning) - a capacity which underpins much of human-unique cognition, including scientific analogies, artistic metaphors and many ... -
Inference of Expressive Declassification Policies
(IEEE Computer Society, 2011)We explore the inference of expressive human-readable declassification policies as a step towards providing practical tools and techniques for strong language-based information security. Security-type systems can enforce ... -
Inference of Multiple Earthquake-Cycle Relaxation Timescales from Irregular Geodetic Sampling of Interseismic Deformation
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2013)Characterizing surface deformation throughout a full earthquake cycle is a challenge due to the lack of high‐resolution geodetic observations of duration comparable to that of characteristic earthquake recurrence intervals ... -
Inference on Nonparametric Targets and Discrete Structures
(2022-09-01)Many modern applications seek to understand the relationship between different variables. For example, scientists want to infer the dependence between an outcome variable and a covariate in the presence of a (possibly ... -

Inferences of mantle viscosity based on ice age data sets: Radial structure
(American Geophysical Union, 2016)We perform joint nonlinear inversions of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) data, including the following: postglacial decay times in Canada and Scandinavia, the Fennoscandian relaxation spectrum (FRS), late-Holocene ... -
Inferior frontal junction biases perception through neural synchrony
(Elsevier BV, 2014)How the primate attentional control network interacts with posterior sensory regions to bias perception is not fully understood. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG) supplemented by functional magnetic resonance imaging ... -
Inferring Character From Faces: A Developmental Study
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Human adults attribute character traits to faces readily and with high consensus. In two experiments investigating the development of face-to-trait inference, adults and children ages 3 through 10 attributed trustworthiness, ... -
Inferring Genome-Scale Rearrangement Phylogeny and Ancestral Gene Order: A Drosophila Case Study
(BioMed Central, 2007)A simple, fast, and biologically-inspired computational approach to infer genome-scale rearrangement phylogeny and ancestral gene order has been developed and applied to eight Drosophila genomes, providing insights into ... -
Inferring Origin Flow Patterns in Wi-Fi with Deep Learning
(USENIX, 2014)We present a novel application of deep learning in networking. The envisioned system can learn the original flow characteristics such as a burst size and inter-burst gaps conceived at the source from packet sampling done ... -
Inferring Predator Behavior from Attack Rates on Prey-Replicas That Differ in Conspicuousness
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Behavioral ecologists and evolutionary biologists have long studied how predators respond to prey items novel in color and pattern. Because a predatory response is influenced by both the predator’s ability to detect the ... -
Inferring Reflectance under Real-world Illumination
(2010)We address the problem of inferring homogeneous reflectance (BRDF) from a single image of a known shape in an unknown real-world lighting environment. With appropriate representations of lighting and reflectance, the image ... -
Inferring Speaker Affect in Spoken Natural Language Communication
(2013-03-15)The field of spoken language processing is concerned with creating computer programs that can understand human speech and produce human-like speech. Regarding the problem of understanding human speech, there is currently ... -
Inferring the Composition of Super-Jupiter Mass Companions of Pulsars with Radio Line Spectroscopy
(American Astronomical Society, 2017)We propose using radio line spectroscopy to detect molecular absorption lines (such as OH at 1.6-1.7 GHz) before and after the total eclipse of black widow (BW) and other short orbital period binary pulsars with low mass ... -
Inferring the distances of fast radio bursts through associated 21-cm absorption
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)The distances of fast radio burst (FRB) sources are currently unknown. We show that the 21-cm absorption line of hydrogen can be used to infer the redshifts of FRB sources, and determine whether they are Galactic or ... -
Inferring the Inclination of a Black Hole Accretion Disk From Observations of Its Polarized Continuum Radiation
(IOP Publishing, 2009)Spin parameters of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries are currently being estimated by fitting the X-ray continuum spectra of their accretion disk emission. For this method, it is necessary to know the inclination ...
