When people are engaged in social interaction, they can repeat aspects of each other’s communicative behavior, such as words or gestures. This kind of behavioral alignment has been studied across a wide range of disciplines and has been accounted for by diverging theories. In this paper, we review various…

This paper presents experimental results that allow for the performance evaluation of a straight-line reference alignment system based on pseudo-nondiffracting Layer beams. Sensors, developed specifically for this system, feature four linear CMOS chips and a square aperture. This allows for simultaneous measurements…

Vehicle wheel alignment inspection is generally carried out using a computer vision-based system. Due to its inspection mechanism using four wheel centers, the computer vision-based system cannot be applied to the wheel alignment inspection of suspension module units. However, when a vehicle suspension module is being…

— Aligning a lens system relative to an imager is a critical challenge in camera manufacturing. While optimal alignment can be mathematically computed under ideal conditions, real-world deviations caused by manufacturing tolerances often render this approach impractical. Measuring these tolerances can be costly or even…

Pairwise sequence alignment is perhaps the most fundamental bioinformatics operation. An optimal global alignment algorithm was described in 1970 by Needleman and Wunsch. In 1982 Gotoh presented an improved algorithm with lower time complexity. Gotoh’s algorithm is frequently cited (1447 citations, Google Scholar, May…

'Ivan Marsic' 'Randall S. Burd'] Abstract—Trace alignment algorithms have been used in process mining for discovering the consensus treatment procedures and process deviations. Different alignment algorithms, however, may produce very different results. No widely-adopted method exists for evaluating the results of…

Genomic variations in a reference collection are naturally represented as genome variation graphs. Such graphs encode common subsequences as vertices and the variations are captured using additional vertices and directed edges. The resulting graphs are directed graphs possibly with cycles. Existing algorithms for…

Congealing is a flexible nonparametric data-driven framework for the joint alignment of data. It has been successfully applied to the joint alignment of binary images of digits, binary images of object silhouettes, grayscale MRI images, color images of cars and faces, and 3D brain volumes. This research enhances…

Natural coordinate system will be proposed. In this coordinate system alignment procedure of a device and a detector can be easily performed. This approach is generalization of previous specific formulas in the field of calibration and provide top level description of the procedure. A basic example application to linac…

The goal of the alignment problem is to align a (given) point cloud = {1, · · · , } to another (observed) point cloud = {1, · · · , }. That is, to compute a rotation matrix ∈ R 3×3 and a translation vector ∈ R 3 that minimize the sum of paired distances ∑︀ =1 ( − , ) for some distance function . A harder version is the…

In molecular machine learning, the choice of the representation of molecules can have a significant impact on model performance. However, understanding the root causes of these performance differences often proves challenging. One promising approach to explore model behavior is representational alignment, which…

Temporal alignment is an inherent task in most applications dealing with videos: action recognition, motion transfer, virtual trainers, rehabilitation, etc. In this paper we dive into the understanding of this task from a geometric point of view: in particular, we show that the basic properties that are expected from a…

'Daniel M Merfeld'] Vestibular prosthetics transmit angular velocities to the nervous system via electrical stimulation. Head-fixed gyroscopes measure angular motion, but the gyroscope coordinate system will not be coincident with the sensory organs the prosthetic replaces. Here we show a simple calibration method to…

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications require the integration of multifunctional materials, offering appropriate mechanical cues and geometric guidance to support tissue-specific cell differentiation. In this context, supramolecular gel noodles formed by ionic cross-linking of pre-assembled micellar…

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) alignment has recently become a hot topic in the orthopedics arthroplasty literature. Coronal plane alignment especially has gained increasing attention since it is considered a cornerstone for improved clinical outcomes. Various alignment techniques have been described, but none proved to…

—A novel minutia-based fingerprint matching algorithm is proposed that employs iterative global alignment on two minutia sets. The matcher considers all possible minutia pairings and iteratively aligns the two sets until the number of minutia pairs does not exceed the maximum number of allowable oneto-one pairings. The…

'Matthew J. Anderson' 'Ramit Lamba' 'Carol Parise'] Background The alignment of the lower extremity has important implications in the development of knee arthritis. The effect of incremental rotations of the limb on common parameters of alignment has not been studied. The purpose of the study was to (1) determine the…

Machine learning models are increasingly applied to heterogeneous materials datasets spanning different synthesis routes, measurement protocols, and structural classes. Although multi-task and representation-learning approaches are commonly used to improve predictive performance, the latent representations learned by…

The intersection of chemistry and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an active area of research focused on accelerating scientific discovery. While using large language models (LLMs) with scientific modalities has shown potential, there are significant challenges to address, such as improving training efficiency and…

The brain uses two slightly different 2D retinal images to enhance our vision with stereopsis, i.e., spatial depth and 3D shape. Stereopsis is organized by pairs of corresponding retinal elements of zero disparity: a small retinal area in one eye and the corresponding unique area in the other share one subjective…

Pose prediction of ligands to proteins remains a central challenge of structure-based drug design. Although data leakage and generalizability concerns remain, data-driven methods for pose prediction (i.e. based on deep learning and diffusion) now routinely outperform traditional techniques such as molecular docking. In…

This paper identifies a specific pattern of luminance in pictures that creates a low level non-subjective neuro-aesthetic effect and provides a theoretical explanation for how it occurs. Pictures evoke both a top-down and a bottom-up visual percept of balance. Through its effect on eye movements, balance is a bottom-up…

In this work, we present a fully automated method for the construction of chemically meaningful sets of non-redundant internal coordinates (also commonly denoted as Z-matrices) from the cartesian coordinates of a molecular system. Particular focus is placed on avoiding ill-definitions of angles and dihedrals due to…
