Generalised cascades

Generalised Test = Generalised Inference

Tim Menzies Dept. of Software Development, Monash University, Australia [email protected]; http://www.sd.monash.edu.au/ timm Abstract|We are used to viewing veri cation and validation as tasks to be performed after a knowledge-base is built. In this standard view, the inference engine is built rst, the knowledge base is then lled out, then nally a test engine is added to verify or va...

Rumor Cascades

Online social networks provide a rich substrate for rumor propagation. Information received via friends tends to be trusted, and online social networks allow individuals to transmit information to many friends at once. By referencing known rumors from Snopes.com, a popular website documenting memes and urban legends, we track the propagation of thousands of rumors appearing on Facebook. From th...

Turbulent cascades

Turbulent cascades at high Reynolds numbers are explained briefly in terms of multipliers and multiplier distributions. Two properties of the multipliers ensure the existence of power laws for locally averaged energy dissipation rate: (a) the existence of a multiplier probability density function that is independent of the level of the cascade, and (b) the statistical independence of multiplier...
