Comparison of classifier methods: a case study in handwritten digit recognition

Abstract: This paper compares the performance of several classifier algorithms on a standard database of handwritten digits. We consider not only raw accuracy, but also training time, recognition time, and memory requirements. When available, we report measurements of the fraction of patterns that must be rejected so that the remaining patterns have misclassification rates less than a given threshold.

Learning algorithms for classification: A comparison on handwritten digit recognition

We consider not only raw accuracy, but also training time, recognition time, and memory requirements. When available, we report measurements of the fraction of patterns that must be rejected so that the remaining patterns have misclassi cation rates less than a given threshold.

The repetitive DNA elements called CRISPRs and their associated genes: evidence of horizontal transfer among prokaryotes.

Abstract: We have found direct DNA repeats 21-47 bp in length interspersed with nonrepetitive sequences of similar length, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) in a wide range of diverse prokaryotes, including many Archaeal and Eubacterial species. A number of cas, CRISPR-associated genes have also been characterized in many of the same organisms. Phylogenetic analysis of these cas genes suggests that the CRISPR loci have been propagated via HGT, horizontal gene transfer. We suggest a mechanism by which this HGT has occurred, namely, that the CRISPR loci can be carried between cells on megaplasmids > or = 40 kb in length.

Idealism, Relativism, and the Ethic of Caring

Abstract: In this study, we investigated Gilligan's (1982) theory of moral thought Two hundred sixteen American college students (73% women and 205% black) completed two questionnaires designed to measure individual differences in personal moral philosophies Analyses indicated that individuals who endorsed an ethic of caring also tended to have higher scores on the idealism scale of the Ethics Position Questionnaire, r = 53 Caring was also slightly correlated with the rejection of moral relativism, r = - 13 Individuals who espoused highly idealistic but nonrelativistic personal moral philosophies most strongly endorsed an ethic of caring Sex differences among these students were conspicuously absent
