Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Progressive Convex Hull Simplification
Abstract Convex hulls are useful as tight bounding proxies for a variety of tasks including collision detection, ray intersection, and distance computation. Unfortunately, the complexity of polyhedral convex hulls grows linearly with their input. We consider the problem of conservatively simplifying a convex hull to a specified number of half‐spaces ...

A practical algorithm for weighted k‐hulls
Abstract The convex hull is a central concept in computational geometry, geometry processing, and generally for summarizing sampled data. Its descriptive power suffers significantly in the presence of noise. The k‐hull, also known as the k‐depth contour in statistics, is the intersection of all half‐spaces that contain all but k data points, i.e. it is

CuRast: Cuda‐Based Software Rasterization for Billions of Triangles
Abstract This paper presents a CUDA‐based software rasterizer capable of rendering up to a billion unique triangles, or up to 4 billion instanced triangles, in real time at 60 fps on an RTX 5090. By specifically targeting dense, opaque meshes, our approach is able to outperform the native GPU rasterization pipeline in these scenarios.

In Defence of Oblique Intention
Abstract Recent work on lying has revived an old action‐theoretic category: oblique, or indirect, intention. I argue that some liars intend deception obliquely. Sneddon objects that this category is drastic and unjustified: it counts all foreseen side‐effects as intended. My response is that oblique intention is not mere foresight.

Labor Associations: The Blue Wall of Silence
ABSTRACT We present a model showing that when the demand for labor services is inelastic and individual behavior is imperfectly monitored, a firm's employees may prefer to protect its shirkers and conceal information about peers' performance from the firm.
