We develop the basic theory of hod mice below the Largest Suslin Axiom (LSA), which says that the largest Suslin cardinal is a member of the Solovay sequence. We also prove comparison theorem for such hod mice in the context of AD+. This is the first paper in planned sequence of three papers that eventually will establish that Mouse Set Conjecture holds provided there is no inner model satisfyi...

— We give a proof, based on the Poincaré inequality, of the symmetric property (τ) for the Gaussian measure. If f :Rd → R is continuous, bounded from below and even, we define Hf(x) = infy f(x+y)+ 1 2 |y|2 and we have ∫ e−f dγd ∫ e dγd 1. This property is equivalent to a certain functional form of the BlaschkeSantaló inequality, as explained in a paper by Artstein, Klartag and Milman. RÉSUMÉ. —...

In this paper we demonstrate methods of improving both the recall and the precision of automatic methods for extraction of hyponymy (IS A) relations from free text. By applying latent semantic analysis (LSA) to filter extracted hyponymy relations we reduce the rate of error of our initial pattern-based hyponymy extraction by 30%, achieving precision of 58%. Applying a graph-based model of noun-...

In a series of multiple-regression analyses conducted on the French part of the Dundee corpus, the time spent inspecting a target word in a given sentence was found to depend on its degree of semantic relatedness (as assessed in the LSA framework) to two content words belonging to a prior part of the sentence, and located at varying distances to the left of the target. However, only verb primes...

A. G. Greenwald and H. G. Shulman (see record 1974-10326-001) found that 2 tasks characterized by ideomotor (IM) compatibility could be perfectly timeshared (i.e., performed simultaneously without mutual interference). The 2 tasks were pronouncing "A" or "B" in response to hearing those letter names, and making a manual left or right response to seeing a left- or right-positioned arrow. M.-C. L...

This paper proposes and examines modifications for the method of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). Several new local and global weight functions, along with normalization routines, are disclosed. Changes in the general structure of LSA are discussed. An application of LSA, in which the method is used to filter advertisements in e-mail, proves the worthiness of the advancements.

Dr. John Samuel Banerji, SIU Scholar The Soci et e Internationale d’Urologie offers Training Scholarships (SIU) for young doctors with basic surgical or urological qualifications. The SIU Scholarships involve training in a recognized Urological center of excellence located in the candidate’s geographical region. These SIU-accredited centers provide an excellent environment for learning and, in ...

The Uses of Objects Task is a widely used creativity test. The test is usually scored by humans, which introduces subjectivity and individual variance into creativity scores. Here, we present a new computational method for scoring creativity: Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), a tool used to measure semantic distance between words. 33 participants provided creative uses for 20 separate objects. We...

Lichen nitidus is an uncommon idiopathic chronic dermatosis characterized by minute, flesh-colored or hypopigmented, shiny papules commonly occurring on the abdomen, chest, genitalia, and extremities. The disorder is most often localized but, rarely, can become extensive or generalized. The occurrence of lichen nitidus during infancy is extremely rare. A perusal of the English literature reveal...
