We identify a tradeoff curve between the number of wheels on train car, and amount track that must be installed in order to ensure car is supported by at all times. The goal build an elevated covers some large distance ?, but consists primarily gaps, so total feet actually only small fraction ?. In can support points, requirement as drives across track, least one set from rear quarter front tou...

Authorship verification is the task of determining if a given text is written by a candidate author or not. In this paper, we present a first study on using an anomaly detection method for the authorship verification task. We have considered a weakly supervised probabilistic model based on a multivariate Gaussian distribution. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted e...

When a musician gives a recital or concert, the music performed generally includes accompaniment. To render a good performance, the soloist and the accompanist must know the musical score and must follow the other musician's performance. Both performing and rehearsing are limited by constraints on the time and money available for bringing musicians together. Computer systems that automatically ...

We employ here the Probabilistic Method, a way of reasoning which shows existence of combinatorial structures and properties to prove refute conjectures. The radiocoloring problem (RCP) is the problem of assigning frequencies to the transmitters of a network so that transmitters of distance one get frequencies that differ by at least two and any two transmitters of distance one get frequencies ...

A comparison is made between the probabilistic domain decomposition (DD) method and a certain deterministic DD method for solving linear elliptic boundary-value problems. Since in the deterministic approach the CPU time is affected by intercommunications among the processors, it turns out that the probabilistic method performs better, especially when the number of subdomains (hence, of processo...

We present a theoretically motivated method for creating probabilistic word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems. The method works by composing multiple probabilistic components: such modularity is made possible by an application of Bayesian statistics and Lidstone’s smoothing method. We show that a probabilistic WSD system created along these lines is a strong competitor to state-of-the-art WSD ...
