It is shown how expectation maximization (EM) may be viewed as a message passing algorithm in factor graphs. In particular, a general EM message computation rule is identified. As a factor graph tool, EM may be used to break cycles in a factor grap...
We propose a novel state estimator for legged robots, STEP, achieved through a novel preintegrated foot velocity factor. In the preintegrated foot velocity factor, the usual non-slip assumption is not adopted. Instead, the end effector velocity becom...
A modification to the gnomonic factor using the concept of triangle of Plato is presented. With the aid of the platonic gnomonic factor (fgp) as we called it, we find that the oracles mentioned by Herodotus in his History, Dodona in Greece and Ammon...
This work presents a network-based data-driven study of the combination of factors that contribute to success in mountaineering. It simultaneously examines the effects of individual factors such as age, gender, experience etc., as well as expedition-...
Background: This study examines cardiometabolic (CM) risk factors in an urban South Asian population, integrating medical and Anthropological perspectives to explore the effects of socio-economic, lifestyle, gender-specific factors, and cultural norm...
After extending the theory of Rankin-Selberg local factors to pairs of $\ell$-modular representations of Whittaker type, of general linear groups over a non-archimedean local field, we study the reduction modulo $\ell$ of $\ell$-adic local factors an...
We consider the summatory function of the number of prime factors for integers $\leq x$ over arithmetic progressions. Numerical experiments suggest that some arithmetic progressions consist more number of prime factors than others. Greg Martin conjec...
We estimate risk premia in the cross-section of cryptocurrency returns using the Giglio-Xiu (2021) three-pass approach, allowing for omitted latent factors alongside observed stock-market and crypto-market factors. Using weekly data on a broad univer...
Feb 21, 2025 · A factory reset gives your computer a fresh start, helping you solve performance issues, get rid of unwanted software, or clean your device before selling it. Learn how to factory reset a PC …
To remove all data from your phone, you can reset your phone to factory settings. Factory resets are also called “formatting” or “hard resets.” Important: Some of these steps only work on...
Various results on factorisations of complete graphs into circulant graphs and on 2-factorisations of these circulant graphs are proved. As a consequence, a number of new results on the Oberwolfach Problem are obtained. For example, a complete soluti...
We adopt an evolutionary view on language change in which cognitive factors (in addition to social ones) affect the fitness of words and their success in the linguistic ecosystem. Specifically, we propose a variety of psycholinguistic factors -- sema...
Starting with the VMD parametrization of the electric and magnetic nucleon form factors, which are saturated just by the ground state vector-mesons rho, omega and phi, then aplying the strict OZI rule and the asymptotic behaviour of form factors as...
This study utilizes data from the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study to explore factors associated with the likelihood of students' employment in STEM fields one year after graduation. We examined various factors related to students' individ...

In this work, we show that a factored hybrid hidden Markov model (FH-HMM) which is defined without any phonetic state-tying outperforms a state-of-the-art hybrid HMM. The factored hybrid HMM provides a link to transducer models in the way it models p...
The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g_x, g_y and g_z of the orthorhombic Cu^{2+}(1) site in fresh PrBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x} powders are theoretically investigated using the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 3d^9 ion under ortho...
**SETLIST THREAD — Brand New @ The Bomb Factory, Dallas, TX, 3/26/25** Hello all, and welcome to the show and setlist discussion thread for Brand New’s March 26th show at The Bomb Factory in Dall...
Factorial Schur functions are generalizations of Schur functions that have, in addition to the usual variables, a second family of "shift" parameters. We show that a factorial Schur function times a deformation of the Weyl denominator may be expresse...
Nonnegative matrix factorization is the following problem: given a nonnegative input matrix $V$ and a factorization rank $K$, compute two nonnegative matrices, $W$ with $K$ columns and $H$ with $K$ rows, such that $WH$ approximates $V$ as well as pos...
