Since the appearance of these weapons, there have been increasing efforts to limit and destroy them in order to achieve global peace in the framework of disarmament and centered around the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Along with the eme...

Ethnographies of Code workshop

This position paper seeks to outline concepts of values in design and how they may be usefully employed in everyday contexts of programming. The paper will first introduce significant contributions and works by Nissenbaum on values in design and Taylor on reverse engineering. Drawing on the peekabooty project, this paper will outline how particular values in design may be introduced and embodie...

Non-aligned Drawings of Planar Graphs

A non-aligned drawing of a graph is a drawing where no two vertices are in the same row or column. Auber et al. showed that not all planar graphs have non-aligned drawings that are straight-line, planar, and in the minimal-possible n × n-grid. They also showed that such drawings exist if up to n− 3 edges may have a bend. In this paper, we give algorithms for non-aligned planar drawings that imp...

Bilingual Lexicon Generation Using Non-Aligned Signatures

Bilingual lexicons are fundamental resources. Modern automated lexicon generation methods usually require parallel corpora, which are not available for most language pairs. Lexicons can be generated using non-parallel corpora or a pivot language, but such lexicons are noisy. We present an algorithm for generating a high quality lexicon from a noisy one, which only requires an independent corpus...
