Literature Review (LR) and Manuscript Preparatory (MP) tasks are two key activities for researchers. While process-based and technologicaloriented interventions have been introduced to bridge the apparent gap between novices and experts for LR tasks, there are very few approaches for MP tasks. In this paper, we introduce a novel task of shortlisting important papers from the reading list of res...

Algorithmic decipherment is a prime example of a truly unsupervised problem. The first step in the decipherment process is the identification of the encrypted language. We propose three methods for determining the source language of a document enciphered with a monoalphabetic substitution cipher. The best method achieves 97% accuracy on 380 languages. We then present an approach to decoding ana...

The aim of this project is to research the possibilities of applying unsupervised learning techniques for natural language and other sequential data to undeciphered texts and manuscripts. The undeciphered text used is the Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious book from the 15th or 16th century that is written in an unknown script. Some methods that could be applied to manuscripts such as these will ...

Based upon new global class field concepts leading to two-dimensional global Langlands correspondences, a modular representation of cusp forms is proposed in terms of global elliptic bisemimodules which are (truncated) Fourier series over R . As application, the conjectures of Shimura-Taniyama-Weil, Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer and Riemann are analyzed.

Authors’ contributions All authors made substantial contributions to conception and design and have been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content. EC conducted the literature review, convened and facilitated the researcher workshop, conducted the focus groups and analysed the data. GH conducted and analysed the qualitative evaluation inter...

The Voynich Manuscript is a document written in an unknown language or cipher. This research proposal presents an idea into determining possible relationships within the Voynich. This is to be performed through known statistical methods relating to linguistics. The document reviews previous research carried out by other researchers. The proposed method is given and shows the current results obt...
