The primary failure mechanism in brittle materials such as ceramics, granite and some metal alloys is through the presence of defects which result in crack formation and propagation under the application of load. We are interested in studying this process of crack propagation, interaction and coalescence, which degrades the strength of the specimen. Traditionally, engineering applications that study...
Comparing images to recommend items from an image-inventory is a subject of continued interest. Added with the scalability of deep-learning architectures the once 'manual' job of hand-crafting features have been largely alleviated, and images can be compared according to features generated from a deep convolutional neural network. In this paper, we compare distance metrics (and divergences) to rank...
We present a novel and configurable synthetic data generator for evolving region trajectories that emulates certain characteristics of a given input dataset, such as the spatial position, velocity, lifespan, and geometry shape and size. This tool aims to facilitate faster prototyping and evaluation of new spatiotemporal data mining algorithms that operate on a specific type of trajectory data, of...
Spatiotemporal event sequences (STESs) are the ordered series of event types whose evolving region-based instances frequently follow each other in time and are located closeby. Previous studies on STES mining require significance and prevalence thresholds for the discovery, which is usually unknown to domain experts. As the quality of the discovered STESs is of great importance to the domain experts...
