Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
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 ...

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

Guidance without ends

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Attentional guidance plays two crucial roles in temporally extended agency. First, guidance stabilizes attention onto our tasks—and tunes out distractions—for extended periods of time. Second, guidance makes attention telic/atelic. Guidance imposes completion conditions on telic attention (e.g., searching for your keys) but not atelic attention (e.g ...

Aggregation and the Structure of Value

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Laws and Reasons Why

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

Markup Centrality and International Incidence in Global Production Networks

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a framework to measure how markups amplify prices through global production networks and to attribute final‐demand price wedges to upstream country‐industry sources. The approach defines a compound markup as the ratio of observed prices to counterfactual pure‐cost prices that would prevail if all markups in the network were
