Efficiency, Shadow Pricing and Regime Switching in Multi‐Ware Technologies: Evidence From Regulated Livestock Farms

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a framework for regulated production systems where output generation and pollution abatement impose competing technological demands. Using a multi‐ware technology, we model the production set as the intersection of two input requirement frontiers, one for production and one for abatement, each reflecting distinct trade‐offs.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

Applications of l 1 regularisation

, 2015
The lasso algorithm for variable selection in linear models, intro- duced by Tibshirani, works by imposing an l1 norm bound constraint on the variables in a least squares model and then tuning the model estimation calculation using this bound.

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

Mixed Super‐Circles

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Differentiable Variable Fonts

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Typography is an essential component of visual communication. Editing and animating text appearance for graphic designs, title sequences, commercials, and logos remain highly skilled tasks requiring detailed, hands‐on efforts from pro artists. Automating these challenging manual workflows requires balancing the competing goals of maintaining a

Embedding Optimization of Layouts via Distortion Minimization

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Given an embedding of a layout in the surface of a target mesh, we consider the problem of optimizing the embedding geometrically. Layout embeddings partition the surface into multiple disk‐like patches, making them particularly useful for parametrization and remeshing tasks, such as quad‐remeshing, since these problems can then be solved on ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Image processing in echography and MRI

, 2005
This work deals with image processing for three medical imaging applications: speckledetection in 3D ultrasound, left ventricle detection in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and flow feature visualisation in velocity MRI.For speckle detection, a ...
