Geodesics on the manifold of multivariate generalized Gaussian distributions with an application to multicomponent texture discrimination [PDF]
, 2011 We consider the Rao geodesic distance (GD) based on the Fisher information as a similarity measure on the manifold of zero-mean multivariate generalized Gaussian distributions (MGGD). The MGGD is shown to be an adequate model for the heavy-tailed wavelet

Measuring Discrimination in Education [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we illustrate a methodology to measure discrimination in educational contexts. In India, we ran an exam competition through which children compete for a large financial prize. We recruited teachers to grade the exams. We then randomly assigned child "characteristics" (age, gender, and caste) to the cover sheets of the exams to ensure ...

Scientific Reports, 2017 The ability to individualize faces is a fundamental human brain function. Following visual adaptation to one individual face, the suppressed neural response to this identity becomes discriminable from an unadapted facial identity at a neural population ...

Early (and Later) LHC Search Strategies for Broad Dimuon Resonances [PDF]
, 2010 Resonance searches generally focus on narrow states that would produce a sharp peak rising over background. Early LHC running will, however, be sensitive primarily to broad resonances.

Does fundamental-frequency discrimination measure virtual pitch discrimination? [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010 Studies of pitch perception often involve measuring difference limens for complex tones (DLCs) that differ in fundamental frequency (F0). These measures are thought to reflect F0 discrimination and to provide an indirect measure of subjective pitch strength. However, in many situations discrimination may be based on cues other than the pitch or the F0,

Edge-enhanced disruptive camouflage impairs shape discrimination [PDF]
, 2019 Disruptive colouration (DC) is a form of camouflage comprised of areas of pigmentation across a target’s surface that form false edges, which are said to impede detection by disguising the outline of the target.
