Twice in a brief 12-year period between 2008 and 2020, central banks turned to asset purchase programs combat global economic downturn. While balance sheet expansions have become familiar been widely studied, normalization is less well understood. This paper provides first analysis of the financial market effects based on U.S. experience 2017 2019. We find evidence that unwinding past purchases...

We demonstrate an implementation for an approximate rank-k SVD factorization, combiningwell-known randomized projection techniques with previously implemented map/reduce solutions in order to compute steps of the random projection based SVD procedure, such QR and SVD. We structure the problem in a way that it reduces to Cholesky and SVD factorizations on k× k matrices computed on a single machi...

Decanter illustrates a heuristic approach to extraction for information retrieval and question answering. Generic information about argumentative text is found and stored, easing user-focused, questiondriven access to the core information. The emphasis is placed on the argumentative dimension, to address in particular three types of questions: “What are the points?”, “Based on what?” “What are ...

Reorganization of a keyboard layout based on linguistic characteristics would be an efficient way to improve input text speed. However, a new character layout imposes a learning period that often discourages users. Bi [1] aimed at easing a new layout acceptance by sacrificing the long term performance. We propose a solution based on the multilayer interface concept to achieve the same goal with...

In Italy, ICD-9-CM is currently used for coding health conditions at hospital discharge, but ICD-10 is being introduced thanks to the IT-DRG Project. In this project, one needed component is a set of transcoding rules and associated tools for easing coders work in the transition. The present paper illustrates design and development of those transcoding rules, and their preliminary testing on a ...
