Source retrieval is a part of a plagiarism discovery process, where only a selected set of candidate documents is retrieved from a large corpus of potential source documents and passed for detailed document comparison in order to highlight potential plagiarism. This paper describes a used methodology and the architecture of a source retrieval system, developed for PAN 2015 lab on uncovering pla...

The application of a new mean value theorem to the fractional parts of polynomials 1. Introduction. The new mean value estimates provided by recent advances in Waring's problem (see, in particular, [9, 10, 11, 14]) may plainly be applied to improve current estimates for αn k , the distance from αn

Becoming aware of conflicting information is an integral part of comprehending multiple documents on a scientific issue. We examined whether memory for conflicts and its application in an essay task could be enhanced by a combination of reading goals and text signals. Two highcoherence-orienting reading goals (reading to write a summary or an argumentation) were contrasted with a low coherence-...

Healthcare is adopting information technology as an integral part of clinical workflows and processes themselves. This places substantial demands upon the performance and behavior of such networks, especially as the paper records systems are retired, leading to the fundamental attributes of clinical-grade networks

The β-numeration, born with the works of Rényi and Parry, provides a generalization of the notions of integers, decimal numbers and rational numbers by expanding real numbers in base β, where β > 1 is not an integer. One of the main differences with the case of numeration in integral base is that the sets which play the role of integers, decimal numbers and rational numbers in base β are not st...

Normal conditional expectations E : M → N ⊆ M of finite index on von Neumann algebras M with discrete center are investigated to find an estimate for the minimal number of generators of M as a Hilbert N-module. Analyzing the case of M being finite type I with discrete center we obtain that these von Neumann algebras M are always finitely generated projective N-modules with a minimal generator s...

Options constitute integral part of modern financial trades, and are priced according to the risk associated with buying or selling certain asset in future. Financial literature mostly concentrates on risk-neutral methods of pricing options such as BlackScholes model. However, it is an emerging field in option pricing theory to use trading agents with utility functions to determine the option’s...

We demonstrate the possibility of classifying causal systems into kinds that share a common structure without first constructing an explicit dynamical model or using prior knowledge of the system dynamics. The algorithmic ability to determine whether arbitrary systems are governed by causal relations of the same form offers significant practical applications in the development and validation of...

In this article, we propose an axiomatic characterization for ensconcement-based contraction functions, belief base functionsproposed by Williams. We relate this function with other kinds of base contraction functions.
