Abstra t Most lassi ation algorithms experien e diÆ ulties when the input-output distribution is irregular (i.e., neighbor examples in the input spa e have di erent values in the output spa e), and sparse. We hara terize the diÆ ulty of a lassi ation problem using a limited number of examples by re-de ning a measure of lass variation to a ount for irregular distributions, and by introdu ing a n...

Subadditive time discounting means that discounting over a delay is greater when the delay is divided into subintervals than when it is left undivided. This may produce the most important result usually attributed to hyperbolic discounting: declining impatience, or the inverse relationship between the discount rate and the magnitude of the delay. Three choice experiments were conducted to test ...

We introduce a new variant of tight closure and give an interpretation of adjoint ideals via this tight closure. As a corollary, we prove that a log pair (X,∆) is plt if and only if the modulo p reduction of (X,∆) is divisorially F-regular for all large p ≫ 0. Here, divisorially F-regular pairs are a class of singularities in positive characteristic introduced by Hara and Watanabe [HW] in terms...

__________ "[...] Agents are here to stay, not least because of their diversity, their wide range of applicability and the broad spectrum of companies investing in them. As we move further and further into the information age, any information-based organisation which does not invest in agent technology may be committing commercial hara-kiri."

The addition of radiotherapy (RT) to breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is common clinical practice in the treatment of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The objective of this meta-analysis is to assess the cumulative evidence of the benefit of RT in this situation. The analysis includes all available English-language randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing outcomes in patients w...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially serious complication occurring in 1%-2% of hospitalized medical patients. Despite this low absolute risk, as many as 82% of medical patients are considered to be at increased risk of developing VTE and are eligible for medical thromboprophylaxis. In this commentary, The author will discuss the main findings of a recent paper published in Clinical Ep...

The coinage of Vijayanagar and the later successor state of Mysore is relatively unique among Indian coin series in that a number of coin types have close sculptural parallels. In this brief paper, I will point out a few of these, using two specific cases, reliefs of Hanumān and the gold varāhas of Hari Hara I and Bukka I, and the statue of Bālakṛṣṇa from the Kṛṣṇa Temple in Hampi and the Bālak...

It is shown that upon considering an alternative form of a parity-violating part of the transition electromagnetic current it is possible to reformulate Hara theorem in a way that it does not forbid any more nonzero asymmetry in the hyperon weak radiative decays Σ+ → p + γ and Ξ− → Σ− + γ in the limit of exact SU(3)f symmetry thus resolving a contradiction with the data and maybe revealing hith...
