SYNTAX scoring: growing stronger

Growing a Syntax

In this paper we present a macro system for the Fortress programming language. Fortress is a new programming language designed for scientific and high-performance computing. Features include: implicit parallelism, transactions, and concrete syntax that emulates mathematical notation. Fortress is intended to grow over time to accommodate the changing needs of its users. Our goal is to design and...

Now We Stronger than Ever: African-American English Syntax in Twitter

African American English (AAE) is a well-established dialect that exhibits a distinctive syntax, including constructions like habitual be. Using data mined from the social media service Twitter, the proposed senior thesis project intends to study the demographic distribution of a subset of AAE syntactic constructions. This study expands on previous sociolinguistic Twitter work (Eisenstein et al...

Growing season carries stronger contributions to albedo dynamics on the Tibetan plateau

The Tibetan Plateau has experienced higher-than-global-average climate warming in recent decades, resulting in many significant changes in ecosystem structure and function. Among them is albedo, which bridges the causes and consequences of land surface processes and climate. The plateau is covered by snow/ice and vegetation in the non-growing season (nGS) and growing season (GS), respectively. ...

Stronger Utility

Empirical research often requires a method how to convert a deterministic economic theory into an econometric model. A popular method is to add a random error term on the utility scale. This method, however, violates stochastic dominance. A modification of this method is proposed to avoid violations of dominance. The modified model compares favorably to other existing models in terms of goodnes...
