A key challenge for automatic hate-speech detection on social media is the separation of hate speech from other instances of offensive language. Lexical detection methods tend to have low precision because they classify all messages containing particular terms as hate speech and previous work using supervised learning has failed to distinguish between the two categories. We used a crowd-sourced...

In hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) exposure during adolescence facilitates offensive aggression that is correlated with the enhanced development of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) neural system and reduced development of the serotonin (5-HT) neural system in the anterior hypothalamus (AH). This study examined the temporal onset of these effects by measuring agg...

The 2013 arrival of SportVU player tracking data in all NBA arenas introduced an overwhelming amount of on-court information information which the league is still learning how to maximize for insights into player performance and basketball strategy. Knowing where the ball and every player on the court are at all times throughout the course of the game produces almost endless possibilities, and ...

We consider finite graphs G with vertex set V (G). For a subset S ⊆ V (G), we define by G[S] the subgraph induced by S. By n(G) = |V (G)| and δ(G) we denote the order and the minimum degree of G, respectively. Let k be a positive integer. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a connected global offensive k-alliance of the connected graphG, ifG[S] is connected and |N(v)∩S| ≥ |N(v)−S|+k for every vertex v ∈ V (G...

The Internet and online forums such as Reddit have become an increasingly popular medium for citizens to engage in political conversations. However, the online disinhibition effect resulting from the ability to use pseudonymous identities may manifest in the form of offensive speech, consequently making political discussions more aggressive and polarizing than they already are. Such environment...

Most literature on network modeling takes a functional perspective. That is, it models the network based on the needs the network must serve. As information assurance has risen as a functional need, the network models have added the need for a protective stance. In almost all instances, such a stance has been defined in terms of firewalls. As cyberspace becomes the next sphere of warfare, we mu...
