A PROTO-LANGUAGE (Gk. prõtos ‘first’) refers to the earliest form of a language family presupposed by all of its descendants.

In this paper we introduce an extension of the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning model to study the problem of learning inclusion hierarchies of concepts (sometimes called is-a hierarchies) from random examples. Using only the hypothesis representations output over many different runs of a learning algorithm, we wish to reconstruct the partial order (with respect to generality) amon...

We examine the effect of the institutional environment (IE) on the mortality of overseas subsidiaries in a country and test whether partnership strategies help to mitigate the hazards that come from regulatory, normative and cognitive constraints that institutions place on these subsidiaries. We use measures of political openness and social openness to characterize the regulative and normative ...

Whether a potential effect m...
