Abstract: A computing system initializes a first frontier to be a root of a multi-dimensional hierarchical data structure representing an entity. The system acquires first data corresponding to the first frontier. The system performs modeling on the first data to obtain a first model and a corresponding first statistic. The system expands a dimension of the first frontier. The system gathers second data corresponding to the expanded frontier. The system applies the data modeling on the second data to obtain a second model and a corresponding second statistic. The system compares the first statistic of the first model and the second statistic of the second model. The system sets the second model to be the first model in response to determining that the second model statistic is better than the first model statistic. The system outputs the first model.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image-data processor, an interface, a power source, and a controller. The controller selects a first mode, a second mode, or a third mode as a power supply mode. In the first mode, electric power is supplied from the power source to the image-data processor and the interface. In the second mode, supply of the electric power from the power source to the image-data processor and the interface is in a stopped state. In the third mode, the electric power is supplied from the power source to the interface, but supply of the electric power to the image-data processor is in a stopped state. The controller switches the power supply mode from the second mode to the third mode in response to receiving a power supply request from an external device via the interface in the second mode.
