From Bombs to Books, and Back Again? Mapping Strategies of Right-Wing Revolutionary Resistance

From Notions to Models and Back Again, Again

A typical thread in research relies on the maturing of ideasthrough an iterative process of construction, testing and refinement.In this talk I will trace some such trajectories of ideas by illustrationfrom some of my own and others’ experiences in agent-based modelling.I draw inspiration from previous commentaries, including from thosewho generated the mottos: “No Notation ...

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...

From Paragraphs to Vectors and Back Again

I investigate some methods of encoding text into vectors and decoding these vector representations. The purpose of decoding vector representations is two fold. Firstly, I could apply unsupervised learning algorithms to the paragraph vectors to find significant ”new” vectors and decode them into paragraphs of text. Effectively, I could process text and generate ”new” ideas. Secondly, I could dec...

From Local to Global and Back Again

This paper considers the cost of preprocessing a digital terrain model (DTM) represented as a trian-gulated irregular network (TIN) so that drainage queries|e.g., what is the watershed of a query point, or how much water passes through a point given that rain is falling at a known rate|can be answered by simply evaluating a summary function. Although the worst-case storage and preprocessing cos...
