Scene classification using a hybrid generative/discriminative approach by Bosch, A, Zisserman, A, Muñoz, X

“…Our approach consists of first discovering latent “topics” using probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA), a generative model from the statistical text literature here applied to a bag of visual words representation for each image, and subsequently, training a multiway classifier on the topic distribution vector for each image. We compare this approach to that of representing each image by a bag of visual words vector directly and training a multiway classifier on these vectors. …”

Effect of curvature variations on the hydrodynamic performance of heaving and pitching foils by van Rees, Wim M.

“…Maximum thrust is achieved when the camber variations are synchronized with the maximum heave velocity, increasing the overall magnitude of the force vector while increasing efficiency as well. Maximum efficiency is achieved when camber is applied during the first half of the stroke, tilting the force vector to create thrust earlier in the cycle than a comparable rigid fin. …”
