To formally verify a large software application, the standard method is to invest a considerable amount of time and expertise into the manual construction of an abstract model, which is then analyzed for its properties by either a mechanized or by a human prover. There are two main problems with this approach. The first problem is that this verification method can be no more reliable than the h...

A core component of Sentiment Analysis is the generation of sentiment lists. Label propagation is equivocally one of the most used approaches for generating sentiment lists based on annotated seed words in a manual manner. Words which are situated many hops away from the seed words tend to get low sentiment values. Such inherent property of the Label Propagation algorithm poses a controversial ...

From 1946 to 1953 ten conferences—the first nine held at the Beekman Hotel at 575 Park Avenue in New York, the last at the Nassau Inn in Princeton, New Jersey—brought together at regular intervals some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Sponsored by the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, these meetings have since come to be known as the Macy Conferences. The mathematicians, logicians, en...

In my view, the “verification problem” is the theorem proving problem, restricted to a computational logic. My approach is: adopt a functional programming language, build a general purpose formal reasoning engine around it, integrate it into a program and proof development environment, and apply it to model and verify a wide variety of computing artifacts, usually modeled operationally within t...

A GOOD translation of a novel requires many qualities from the translator. He must be a native speaker or have at least native-like command of the language into which he translates, the target language; he must have a good knowledge of the language from which he translates, the source language, and preferably have lived among the people who habitually speak the source language; he must have som...

We consider software verification of imperative programs by theorem proving in higher-order separation logic. Of particular interest are the difficulties of encoding and reasoning about sharing and aliasing in pointer-based data structures. Both of these are difficulties for reasoning in separation logic because they rely, fundamentally, on non-separate heaps. We show how sharing can be achieve...

abstract quantitative analysis of production through evaluating the level of factor usage is a major part in agricultural management, which aims at increasing production by optimum usage of resources. this study has estimated and analyzed stochastic frontier production function and calculated technical efficiency of semi-mechanized broiler farms located in gorgan district. the survey data were ...

The purpose of this study is to substantiate the concept express assessment potato tubers for mechanized harvesting using fluorimetric and RAMAN lidar, as well conduct a quantitative structural damage varieties hybrids, device that simulates process operation combine separator, depending on type machine conditions. In addition, calibration lidar was undertaken assess magnitude physical impact d...
