Ambiguity through Condence Functions

Annual Report 4 , Winter 2013

We study eective inference strategies for monotone trend functions in the presence of short range and long range dependence. Isotonic regression, which does not require specication of tuning parameters, is invoked to estimate the monotone trend. The problem of constructing reliable condence intervals for the trend function is addressed via the use of appropriate discrepancy statistics which ari...

Triangular approximations of fuzzy number with value and ambiguity functions

Gesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity

The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...

On the Ambiguity of Differentially Uniform Functions

Recently, the ambiguity and deficiency of a given bijective mapping F over a finite abelian group G were introduced by Panario et al. [PSS+13, PSSW11] to measure the balancedness of the derivatives DaF (x) = F (x+a)−F (x) for all a ∈ G\{0}. Fundamental properties and cryptographic significance of these measures were further studied in [PSSW11, PSS+13]. In this paper, we extend the study of the ...

Automated generation of news content hierarchy by integrating audio, video, and text information

This paper addresses the problem of generating semantically meaningful content by integrating information from di erent media. The goal is to automatically construct a compact yet meaningful abstraction of the multimedia data that can serve as an e ective index table, allowing users to browse through large amounts of data in a non-linear fashion with exibility, e ciency, and condence. We propos...
