Abstract: Graph partitioning for massive scale graphs is described, such as for graphs having vertices representing people and edges representing connections between people in a social networking system; or for graphs where the vertices represent other items and the edges represent relationships between the items. In various embodiments a graph data allocator receives a graph vertex and its edges and allocates the vertex to one of a plurality of clusters each associated with one or more computing devices. In various embodiments the allocation is made by optimizing an objective function which takes into account both a cost of edges between clusters and a cost related to sizes of the clusters. In some examples the cost related to sizes of the clusters comprises a convex function applied to each of the cluster sizes. In examples, computations on the graph data are carried out with reduced runtimes and communications cost.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization of a molecule, comprising a set of particles, are provided. A set of three-dimensional coordinates is obtained, each coordinate describing a position for a corresponding particle. A cost function containing an error in a set of two-dimensional coordinates, where each two-dimensional coordinate corresponds to a three-dimensional coordinate in the set of three-dimensional coordinates, is minimized until an exit condition is achieved. The minimization alters the two-dimensional coordinate values. A set of physical properties SM is obtained, each such property representing a property shared by a pair of particles in the molecule. The coordinates are plotted as nodes of a two-dimensional graph after minimization, connected by a plurality of edges. An edge connects a coordinate pair in the graph that corresponds to a pair of particles in the molecule. A characteristic of the edge is determined by a physical property for the pair of particles.

Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus capable of appropriately performing conversion processing using a lookup table on image data in an image format with a wide dynamic range. In the image processing apparatus, a system control unit sets a second dynamic range (display range) as a display target in a first dynamic range (input range) corresponding to an image format of input image data.

A 3D-LUT data generation unit generates, based on the first dynamic range (display range), second lookup table (LUT) data as a lookup table for performing second conversion processing on image data obtained by the first conversion processing.

Abstract: A method for generating a real-time realistic-looking image of a pair of virtual glasses positioned on a real user face image issued from a single image, a bundle of pictures, a video clip or a real-time camera streams. A face analysis element estimates the 3D rotation matrix, the 3D translation vector, morphology parameters of the user's face. A glasses positioning element associated with a try-on mode for look or real-size simulation estimates the 3D rotation matrix, the 3D translation vector, global and local deformation parameters of the virtual glasses, and arms articulation, adapted to the morphology parameters computed by the face analysis element. A realistic rendering element mixes the real user face image with the virtual glasses positioned by the glasses positioning element.

Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and computer readable media to improve the operation of window-based operating systems are disclosed. In general, techniques are disclosed for rendering areas on a display in which two or more shadows overlap. More particularly, two or more shadow regions (based on the arrangement of overlapping windows/shadows) are identified and merged in a top-down process so that no region's shadow is painted or rendered more than once. A shadowbuffer (analogous to a system's framebuffer) may be used to retain windows' alpha information separately from the corresponding windows' shadow intensity information.
