Stochastic Pairwise MIS for Unbiased Large‐Kernel Reuse in Real‐Time

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatiotemporal resampling methods such as ReSTIR decrease noise in Monte Carlo rendering of dynamic content by reusing paths across frames and pixels. Standard ReSTIR reuses spatially from a small number of randomly selected neighbors. This reuse suffers when few neighbors contain contributing samples, reducing quality toward that of the ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

BloomTree: Dynamic Coloring Techniques for Exploring Deep and Wide Tree Structures

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces BloomTree, an interactive Sunburst system for visualizing massive hierarchical datasets, such as the Tree of Life. Traditional static color schemes fail to maintain perceptual distinguishability when applied to millions of nodes, and managing the full tree in memory is computationally costly.

Length‐Based Spawning Potential Ratio Assessment of Key Species From a Remote Recreational Fishery at Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recreational fisheries in remote regions often operate under limited regulation and data availability, presenting challenges for sustainable management. Diego Garcia, located within the Chagos Marine Protected Area, hosts a unique recreational reef fishery embedded within a highly protected environment. We assessed the stock status of five key

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Doing Item Reviewing in and Through Interaction: What It Takes to Problematize and Revise a Language Test Item

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study brings an interactional perspective to item reviewing (IR) as one of the critical language test construction stages by using conversation analysis. Drawing on video recordings of IR sessions in an English preparatory school at the tertiary level, it examines how EFL teachers problematize and revise syllabus‐based language test items

Compact Parallel Hash Tables on the GPU

On the GPU, hash table operation speed is determined in large part by cache line efficiency, and state-of-the-art hashing schemes thus divide tables into cache line-sized buckets. This raises the question whether performance can be further improved by increasing the number of entries that fit in such buckets.

Linking the Comparison and Graphical Approaches to Bipartite Matching

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Bipartite record linkage has the goal of identifying observations referring to the same individual, called coreferent observations, across two distinct non‐duplicated datasets. The two main approaches to solve this task are the Fellegi–Sunter model, which relies on pairwise comparisons of observations, and the graphical record linkage model ...

Entangling and Coalescing on Social Media: A Study of Issue Boundary Spanning in Movement of Movements

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how issues across boundaries influence contention dynamics in a movement of movements on social media. Participants utilize social media to support or oppose goals and actions related to their visions regarding societal changes. As the boundaries of movements are fluid on social media, we investigate the actors' identities,
