text: 'Background: Characterizing root system architecture (RSA) is essential to
understanding the development and function of vascular plants. Identifying RSA-associated
genes also represents an underexplored opportunity for crop improvement. Software
tools are needed to accelerate the pace at which quantitative traits of RSA are
estimated from images of root networks.Results: We have developed GiA Roots (General
Image Analysis of Roots), a semi-automated software tool designed specifically
for the high-throughput analysis of root system images. GiA Roots includes user-assisted
algorithms to distinguish root from background and a fully automated pipeline
that extracts dozens of root system phenotypes. Quantitative information on each
phenotype, along with intermediate steps for full reproducibility, is returned
to the end-user for downstream analysis. GiA Roots has a GUI front end and a command-line
interface for interweaving the software into large-scale workflows. GiA Roots
can also be extended to estimate novel phenotypes specified by the end-user.Conclusions:
We demonstrate the use of GiA Roots on a set of 2393 images of rice roots representing
12 genotypes from the species Oryza sativa. We validate trait measurements against
prior analyses of this image set that demonstrated that RSA traits are likely
heritable and associated with genotypic differences. Moreover, we demonstrate
that GiA Roots is extensible and an end-user can add functionality so that GiA
Roots can estimate novel RSA traits. In summary, we show that the software can
function as an efficient tool as part of a workflow to move from large numbers
of root images to downstream analysis.'

text: 'The BCI competition IV stands in the tradition of prior BCI competitions
that aim to provide high quality neuroscientific data for open access to the scientific
community. As experienced already in prior competitions not only scientists from
the narrow field of BCI compete, but scholars with a broad variety of backgrounds
and nationalities. They include high specialists as well as students.The goals
of all BCI competitions have always been to challenge with respect to novel paradigms
and complex data. We report on the following challenges: (1) asynchronous data,
(2) synthetic, (3) multi-class continuous data, (4) sessionto-session transfer,
(5) directionally modulated MEG, (6) finger movements recorded by ECoG. As after
past competitions, our hope is that winning entries may enhance the analysis methods
of future BCIs.'

text: An automaton with advice is a finite state automaton which has access to an
additional fixed infinite string called an advice tape. We refine the Myhill-Nerode
theorem to characterize the languages of finite strings that are accepted by automata
with advice. We do the same for tree automata with advice.

text: Understanding patterns and correlates of local adaptation in heterogeneous
landscapes can provide important information in the selection of appropriate seed
sources for restoration. We assessed the extent of local adaptation of fitness
components in 12 population pairs of the perennial herb Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides
(Asteraceae) and examined whether spatial scale (0.7-600 km), environmental distance,
quantitative (QST) and neutral (FST) genetic differentiation, and size of the
local and foreign populations could predict patterns of adaptive differentiation.
Local adaptation varied among populations and fitness components. Including all
population pairs, local adaptation was observed for seedling survival, but not
for biomass, while foreign genotype advantage was observed for reproduction (number
of inflorescences). Among population pairs, local adaptation increased with QST
and local population size for biomass. QST was associated with environmental distance,
suggesting ecological selection for phenotypic divergence. However, low FST and
variation in population structure in small populations demonstrates the interaction
of gene flow and drift in constraining local adaptation in R. leptorrhynchoides.
Our study indicates that for species in heterogeneous landscapes, collecting seed
from large populations from similar environments to candidate sites is likely
to provide the most appropriate seed sources for restoration.

text: 'We study the expressive power of logical interpretations on the class of
scattered trees, namely those with countably many infinite branches. Scattered
trees can be thought of as the tree analogue of scattered linear orders. Every
scattered tree has an ordinal rank that reflects the structure of its infinite
branches. We prove, roughly, that trees and orders of large rank cannot be interpreted
in scattered trees of small rank. We consider a quite general notion of interpretation:
each element of the interpreted structure is represented by a set of tuples of
subsets of the interpreting tree. Our trees are countable, not necessarily finitely
branching, and may have finitely many unary predicates as labellings. We also
show how to replace injective set-interpretations in (not necessarily scattered)
trees by ''finitary'' set-interpretations.'

text: We solve the longstanding open problems of the blow-up involved in the translations,
when possible, of a nondeterministic Büchi word automaton (NBW) to a nondeterministic
co-Büchi word automaton (NCW) and to a deterministic co-Büchi word automaton (DCW).
For the NBW to NCW translation, the currently known upper bound is 2o(nlog n)
and the lower bound is 1.5n. We improve the upper bound to n2n and describe a
matching lower bound of 2ω(n). For the NBW to DCW translation, the currently known
upper bound is 2o(nlog n). We improve it to 2 o(n), which is asymptotically tight.
Both of our upper-bound constructions are based on a simple subset construction,
do not involve intermediate automata with richer acceptance conditions, and can
be implemented symbolically. We continue and solve the open problems of translating
nondeterministic Streett, Rabin, Muller, and parity word automata to NCW and to
DCW. Going via an intermediate NBW is not optimal and we describe direct, simple,
and asymptotically tight constructions, involving a 2o(n) blow-up. The constructions
are variants of the subset construction, providing a unified approach for translating
all common classes of automata to NCW and DCW. Beyond the theoretical importance
of the results, we point to numerous applications of the new constructions. In
particular, they imply a simple subset-construction based translation, when possible,
of LTL to deterministic Büchi word automata.

text: 'One central issue in the formal design and analysis of reactive systems is
the notion of refinement that asks whether all behaviors of the implementation
is allowed by the specification. The local interpretation of behavior leads to
the notion of simulation. Alternating transition systems (ATSs) provide a general
model for composite reactive systems, and the simulation relation for ATSs is
known as alternating simulation. The simulation relation for fair transition systems
is called fair simulation. In this work our main contributions are as follows:
(1) We present an improved algorithm for fair simulation with Büchi fairness constraints;
our algorithm requires O(n 3·m) time as compared to the previous known O(n 6)-time
algorithm, where n is the number of states and m is the number of transitions.
(2) We present a game based algorithm for alternating simulation that requires
O(m2)-time as compared to the previous known O((n·m)2)-time algorithm, where n
is the number of states and m is the size of transition relation. (3) We present
an iterative algorithm for alternating simulation that matches the time complexity
of the game based algorithm, but is more space efficient than the game based algorithm.

text: Computing the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games on graphs
is a central problem in computer aided verification with a large number of applications.
The long standing best known upper bound for solving the problem is Õ(n·m), where
n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in the graph. We are
the first to break the Õ(n·m) boundary by presenting a new technique that reduces
the running time to O(n 2). This bound also leads to O(n 2) time algorithms for
computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for Büchi objectives (1) in
alternating games with probabilistic transitions (improving an earlier bound of
Õ(n·m)), (2) in concurrent graph games with constant actions (improving an earlier
bound of O(n 3)), and (3) in Markov decision processes (improving for m > n
4/3 an earlier bound of O(min(m 1.5, m·n 2/3)). We also show that the same technique
can be used to compute the maximal end-component decomposition of a graph in time
O(n 2), which is an improvement over earlier bounds for m > n 4/3. Finally,
we show how to maintain the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games
under a sequence of edge insertions or a sequence of edge deletions in O(n) amortized
time per operation. This is the first dynamic algorithm for this problem.

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
can model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion. While pushdown
games have been studied before with qualitative objectives, such as reachability
and parity objectives, in this work we study for the first time such games with
the most well-studied quantitative objective, namely, mean payoff objectives.
In pushdown games two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies,
that depend on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, that have
only local memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation, but only
on the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as
follows: (1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global
strategies are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-hard.
(4) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies
can be solved in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish
the optimal strategy complexity showing that global strategies for mean-payoff
objectives require infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games; and memoryless
modular strategies are sufficient in two-player pushdown games. Finally we also
show that all the problems have the same computational complexity if the stack
boundedness condition is added, where along with the mean-payoff objective the
player must also ensure that the stack height is bounded.'

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
can model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion. While pushdown
games have been studied before with qualitative objectives, such as reachability
and ω-regular objectives, in this work we study for the first time such games
with the most well-studied quantitative objective, namely, mean-payoff objectives.
In pushdown games two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies,
that depend on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, that have
only local memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation, but only
on the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as
follows: (1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global
strategies are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two- player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP- hard.
(4) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies
can be solved in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish
the optimal strategy complexity showing that global strategies for mean-payoff
objectives require infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games; and memoryless
modular strategies are sufficient in two- player pushdown games. Finally we also
show that all the problems have the same complexity if the stack boundedness condition
is added, where along with the mean-payoff objective the player must also ensure
that the stack height is bounded.'

text: 'One central issue in the formal design and analysis of reactive systems is
the notion of refinement that asks whether all behaviors of the implementation
is allowed by the specification. The local interpretation of behavior leads to
the notion of simulation. Alternating transition systems (ATSs) provide a general
model for composite reactive systems, and the simulation relation for ATSs is
known as alternating simulation. The simulation relation for fair transition systems
is called fair simulation. In this work our main contributions are as follows:
(1) We present an improved algorithm for fair simulation with Büchi fairness constraints;
our algorithm requires O(n3 · m) time as compared to the previous known O(n6)-time
algorithm, where n is the number of states and m is the number of transitions.
(2) We present a game based algorithm for alternating simulation that requires
O(m2)-time as compared to the previous known O((n · m)2)-time algorithm, where
n is the number of states and m is the size of transition relation. (3) We present
an iterative algorithm for alternating simulation that matches the time complexity
of the game based algorithm, but is more space efficient than the game based algorithm.'

text: 'We consider two-player stochastic games played on finite graphs with reachability
objectives where the first player tries to ensure a target state to be visited
almost-surely (i.e., with probability 1), or positively (i.e., with positive probability),
no matter the strategy of the second player. We classify such games according
to the information and the power of randomization available to the players. On
the basis of information, the game can be one-sided with either (a) player 1,
or (b) player 2 having partial observation (and the other player has perfect observation),
or two-sided with (c) both players having partial observation. On the basis of
randomization, the players (a) may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies),
or (b) may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual random
choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or (c) may
use full randomization. Our main results for pure strategies are as follows. (1)
For one-sided games with player 1 having partial observation we show that (in
contrast to full randomized strategies) belief-based (subset-construction based)
strategies are not sufficient, and we present an exponential upper bound on memory
both for almostsure and positive winning strategies; we show that the problem
of deciding the existence of almost-sure and positive winning strategies for player
1 is EXPTIME-complete. (2) For one-sided games with player 2 having partial observation
we show that non-elementary memory is both necessary and sufficient for both almost-sure
and positive winning strategies. (3) We show that for the general (two-sided)
case finite-memory strategies are sufficient for both positive and almost-sure
winning, and at least non-elementary memory is required. We establish the equivalence
of the almost-sure winning problems for pure strategies and for randomized strategies
with actions invisible. Our equivalence result exhibits serious flaws in previous
results of the literature: we show a non-elementary memory lower bound for almost-sure
winning whereas an exponential upper bound was previously claimed.'

text: 'We consider two-player stochastic games played on a finite state space for
an infinite number of rounds. The games are concurrent: in each round, the two
players (player 1 and player 2) choose their moves independently and simultaneously;
the current state and the two moves determine a probability distribution over
the successor states. We also consider the important special case of turn-based
stochastic games where players make moves in turns, rather than concurrently.
We study concurrent games with \omega-regular winning conditions specified as
parity objectives. The value for player 1 for a parity objective is the maximal
probability with which the player can guarantee the satisfaction of the objective
against all strategies of the opponent. We study the problem of continuity and
robustness of the value function in concurrent and turn-based stochastic parity
gameswith respect to imprecision in the transition probabilities. We present quantitative
bounds on the difference of the value function (in terms of the imprecision of
the transition probabilities) and show the value continuity for structurally equivalent
concurrent games (two games are structurally equivalent if the support of the
transition function is same and the probabilities differ). We also show robustness
of optimal strategies for structurally equivalent turn-based stochastic parity
games. Finally we show that the value continuity property breaks without the structurally
equivalent assumption (even for Markov chains) and show that our quantitative
bound is asymptotically optimal. Hence our results are tight (the assumption is
both necessary and sufficient) and optimal (our quantitative bound is asymptotically
optimal).'

text: 'We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined
by parity conditions. We consider three qualitative decision problems: (i) the
positive decision problem asks whether there is a word that is accepted with positive
probability; (ii) the almost decision problem asks whether there is a word that
is accepted with probability 1; and (iii) the limit decision problem asks whether
words are accepted with probability arbitrarily close to 1. We unify and generalize
several decidability results for probabilistic automata over infinite words, and
identify a robust (closed under union and intersection) subclass of probabilistic
automata for which all the qualitative decision problems are decidable for parity
conditions. We also show that if the input words are restricted to lasso shape
(regular) words, then the positive and almost problems are decidable for all probabilistic
automata with parity conditions. For most decidable problems we show an optimal
PSPACE-complete complexity bound.'

text: Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative
measures of correctness can be formalized by real-valued distance functions between
systems, where the distance between implementation and specification provides
a measure of "fit" or "desirability". We extend the simulation
preorder to the quantitative setting by making each player of a simulation game
pay a certain price for her choices. We use the resulting games with quantitative
objectives to define three different simulation distances. The correctness distance
measures how much the specification must be changed in order to be satisfied by
the implementation. The coverage distance measures how much the implementation
restricts the degrees of freedom offered by the specification. The robustness
distance measures how much a system can deviate from the implementation description
without violating the specification. We consider these distances for safety as
well as liveness specifications. The distances can be computed in polynomial time
for safety specifications, and for liveness specifications given by weak fairness
constraints. We show that the distance functions satisfy the triangle inequality,
that the distance between two systems does not increase under parallel composition
with a third system, and that the distance between two systems can be bounded
from above and below by distances between abstractions of the two systems. These
properties suggest that our simulation distances provide an appropriate basis
for a quantitative theory of discrete systems. We also demonstrate how the robustness
distance can be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated by
error correcting codes.

text: "We consider the problem of inference in a graphical model with binary variables.
While in theory it is arguably preferable to compute marginal probabilities, in
practice researchers often use MAP inference due to the availability of efficient
discrete optimization algorithms. We bridge the gap between the two approaches
by introducing the Discrete Marginals technique in which approximate marginals
are obtained by minimizing an objective function with unary and pairwise terms
over a discretized domain. This allows the use of techniques originally developed
for MAP-MRF inference and learning. We explore two ways to set up the objective
function - by discretizing the Bethe free energy and by learning it from training
data. Experimental results show that for certain types of graphs a learned function
can outperform the Bethe approximation. We also establish a link between the Bethe
free energy and submodular functions.\r\n"

text: "Canny's edge detection algorithm is a classical and robust method for edge
detection in gray-scale images. The two \r\nsignificant features of this method
are introduction of NMS (Non-Maximum Suppression) and double thresholding of \r\nthe
\ gradient image. Due to poor illumination, the region boundaries in
\ an image may become vague, creating \r\nuncertainties in the gradient
\ image. In this paper, we have proposed an algorithm based on the
\ concept of type-2 fuzzy sets to handle uncertainties that automatically
\ selects the threshold values needed to segment the gradient image using
classical Canny’s edge detection algorithm. The results show that our algorithm
works significantly well on different benchmark images as well as medical images
(hand radiography images). "
