Vault : fast bootstrapping for cryptocurrencies
… designed to minimize these storage and bootstrapping costs for participants. Vault builds on Algorand's proof-of-stake consensus protocol and uses several techniques to achieve its goals. First, Vault decouples the storage of recent transactions from the storage of account balances, …

Efficiently bootstrapping extreme scale software systems
… systems go through what we call a bootstrapping phase. During this phase, the software system is deployed onto a set of computers and its initialization information is disseminated. In this thesis, we present a framework called the Lightweight Infrastructure-Bootstrapping …

Intrinsic representation : bootstrapping symbols from experience
If we are to understand human-level intelligence, we need to understand how meanings can be learned without explicit instruction. I take a step toward that understanding by focusing on the symbol-grounding problem, showing how symbols can emerge from a system that looks for regularity in the …

Bootstrapping new knowledge from abstract representations
A long tradition in developmental psychology has used formal scientific inquiry as a basis for understanding learning in early childhood. But much of this work has focused on situations in which children observe firsthand the covariation between parts of a causal system, or can intervene directly …

Bootstrapping Structure into Language: Alignment-Based Learning
refined and abstract meanings largely grow out of more concrete meanings. Bloomfield (1933) This thesis introduces a new unsupervised learning framework, called Alignment-Based Learning, which is based on the alignment of sentences and Harris's (1951) notion of substitutability . Instances of the …

BOOTSTRAPPING ANALOGS OF THE ONE WAY MANOVA TEST
The classical one way MANOVA model is used to test whether the mean measurements are the same or differ across p groups, and assumes that the covariance matrix of each group is the same. This work suggests using the Olive (2017abc) bootstrap technique to develop analogs of one way MANOVA test. A …

Methods for speculatively bootstrapping better intrusion detection system performance
… IDSs and presents models for speculatively bootstrapping better IDS performance. Using measurements of the coverage and scaling performance of a modern signature-based IDS in the context of an anticipatory model, arguments are presented that maintaining compact, low-coverage signature-sets …

Bootstrapping the OIS curve in a South African bank
The financial crisis in 2007 highlighted the credit and liquidity risk present in interbank (LIBOR) rates, and resulted in changes to the pricing and valuation of financial instruments. The shift to Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) discounting and multi-curve framework led to changes in the …

Perceptual data mining : bootstrapping visual intelligence from tracking behavior
One common characteristic of all intelligent life is continuous perceptual input. A decade ago, simply recording and storing a a few minutes of full frame-rate NTSC video required special hardware. Today, an inexpensive personal computer can process video in real-time tracking and recording …

Multi-curve bootstrapping and implied discounting curves in illiquid markets
The credit and liquidity crisis of 2007 has triggered a number of inconsistencies in the interest rate market, questioning some of the standard methods and assumptions used to price and hedge interest rate derivatives. It has been shown that using a single risk-free curve (constructed from market …

Evaluation of bootstrapping as a validation technique for population pharmacokinetic models
… of the current study to evaluate the ability of bootstrapping to identify PPKMs that were estimated from data without influence observations versus PPKMs from data containing influence observations. The evaluation was performed in four phases. In phase I, ten no-influence index datasets and ten …

Minimal supervision for language learning: bootstrapping global patterns from local knowledge
A fundamental step in sentence comprehension involves assigning semantic roles to sentence constituents. To accomplish this, the listener must parse the sentence, find constituents that are candidate arguments, and assign semantic roles to those constituents. Each step depends on prior lexical and …

Bootstrapping fully-automatic temporal fetal brain segmentation in volumetric MRI time series
We present a method for bootstrapping training data for the task of segmenting fetal brains in volumetric MRI time series data. Temporal analysis of MRI images requires accurate segmentation across frames, despite large amounts of unpredictable motion. We use the predicted segmentations of a …

Eliciting Bootstrapping: The Development of Introductory Statistics Students’ Informal Inferential Reasoning via Resampling
<p>Bootstrapping has become an important tool for statisticians, who assert that it is intuitive to novice statistics students. The process of collecting bootstrap resamples was once time demanding, but technology now allows data collection to be performed nearly instantaneously. This study focuses …

Skill or luck: a bootstrapping approach to analysing South African equity unit trust returns
The focus of the study is to add to the available literature on the ability of unit trust fund managers to consistently display skill in their investment performance, and to distinguish between skill and luck. The study focussed on South African domestic equity funds and divided these between funds …

Bank efficiency and non-performing loans in Namibia: a two-stage DEA bootstrapping approach
In the banking industry, non-performing loans are an undesirable by-product of producing loans and may lead to inefficiency. Therefore, it is important that NPLs are accounted for in the analysis of the efficiency of banks. This paper investigated the relationship between non-performing loans and …
