? This article aims to analyse the importance of the Wikipedia articles in different languages (English, French, Russian, Polish) and the impact of the importance on the quality of articles. Based on the analysis of literature and our own experience we collected measures related to articles, specifying various aspects of quality that will be used to build the models of articles importance. For ...

Applying state of the art deeplearning models to novel real world datasets gives a practical evaluation of the generalizability of these models. Of importance in this process is how sensitive the hyper parameters of such models are to novel datasets as this would affect the reproducibility of a model. We present work to characterize the hyper parameter space of an LSTM for language modeling on ...

In his elegant discussion, Sripada distinguishes three possible innate bases for aspects of morality: (1) certain specific principles might be innate, (2) a less simple “principles and parameters” model might apply, and (3) innate biases might have have some influence over what morality a person acquires without determining the content of that morality.1 He argues against (1) and (2) and in fav...

The use of auctions for distributing resources in competing environments has produced a large variety of auctions types and algorithms to treat them. However, auctions have some problems when faced with some real-world applications containing renewable and perishable resources. In this paper we present a mechanism to deal with such issues by dynamically configuring some of the auction parameter...

When modeling student learning, tutors that use the Knowledge Tracing framework often assume that all students have the same set of model parameters. We find that when fitting parameters to individual students, there is significant variation among the individual’s parameters. We examine if this variation is important in terms of instructional decisions by computing the difference in the expecte...

This paper presents a framework dedicated to the modeling of deterministic planning and scheduling problems. This framework is based on the notions of timelines (evolutions of state variables and of resource levels), events which impact timelines, and constraints on and between events. Building it has been motivated by the observation that many real planning and scheduling problems involve a fi...

the aim of this study was to examine sport commitment model in women participating in sport activities. the population of this study consisted of all women (n=6000) who participated in sport activities in mashhad municipality. 526 subjects were studied as the sample. the demographic and sport commitment model (scanlan, 1993) questionnaires were used to collect the data. findings indicated that ...

Luc Demortier The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, U.S.A. Abstract The standard Bayesian treatment of systematic uncertainties is to integrate out the corresponding nuisance parameters from the joint posterior density for all parameters. We apply this formalism to measurements in which the data cannot distinguish between nuisance parameters and parameters of interest, and show that i...
