Navigating in large geometric spaces-such as maps, social networks, or long documents-typically requires a sequence of pan and zoom actions. However, this strategy is often ineffective and cumbersome, especially when trying to study and compare several distant objects. We propose a new distortion technique that folds the intervening space to guarantee visibility of multiple focus regions. The f...

We present the finalized version of our cross-lingual search engine Melange, and results obtained by running it on WebCLEF topics in an attempt to solve Mixed Monolingual and Multilingual tasks. We concentrate on certain features of the system which are relevant to the CLIR field and which can be developed further independently. These are our data extraction and indexing methods, our language d...

Nous prouvons que, sous hypotheses melange exponentiel, ce est lie a l’entropie Renyi mesure stationnaire. soulignons que etablissons un resultat «quenched».

This paper explores some perverse features that can emerge when social contracts are moved from a social vacuum to a setting of social interdependence. In particular we note incentives that might exist in conjunction with externality problems that yield situations in which: (1) social contracts reduce social wealth; (2) sub-global social contracts are Pareto inferior to the absence of social co...
