Social media, such as tweets on Twitter and Short Message Service (SMS) messages on cellular networks, are short-length textual documents (short texts or microblog posts) exchanged among users on the Web and/or their mobile devices. Automatic keyword extraction from short texts can be applied in online applications such as tag recommendation and contextual advertising. In this paper we present ...

The effects of climate change on sea levels and coastal flooding are some of the most prevailing issues in the engineering industry today. In this study, a comprehensive procedure for detailed analysis of flooding from the sea under climate change conditions in a localized area was developed and applied. Through hydrodynamic and statistical modeling, detailed analysis of flooding from sea level...

The management of marine sand mining contributes positively to infrastructure development but can also negatively impact oceanographic parameters and ecosystems. This study aims describe the profile waves tides after sea in Bone Malonjo waters, North Galesong District, Takalar. research method is tidal wave data collection. Wave Numerical Modeling was conducted using DHI-Mike 21 software, speci...

To assess climate change impact on the hydrology of Izmit Bay, a coupled model chain using results four combinations Global Climate Models (GCMs) and Regional (RCMs) consisting two hydrological models (mGROWA PROMET) one hydrodynamic (MIKE 3HD) was established. data 4 GCM-RCM were applied to both models. The resulting 8 streamflow then MIKE 3HD possible situations in Bay. Related indicate range...

We de ne the probabilistic planning problem in terms of a probability distribution over initial world states, a boolean combination of propositions representing the goal, a probability threshold, and actions whose e ects depend on the execution-time state of the world and on random chance. Adopting a probabilistic model complicates the de nition of plan success: instead of demanding a plan that...

Please send further problems/challenges/conectures to Mike Steel Combinatorial Challenge I: Walking through trees Submitted by David Bryant An " NNI-­‐walk " is a sequence T1, T2, …, Tk of unrooted binary phylogenetic trees where each consecutive pair of trees differ by a single NNI. i. [Question] What is the shortest NNI walk that passes through all binary trees on n leaves? ii. [Question] Sup...

This Foreward provides an overview of, and puts in perspective, the contributions of Mike Macon to text to speech synthesis (TTS). The core of his work consists of signal-processing algorithms that modify speech. Major opportunities exist for TTS systems that modify prosody of acoustic units, eliminating the need to search for units with the required prosody. However, the challenges to make pro...

The majority of general purpose mechanised proof assistants support versions of typed higher order logic, even though set theory is the standard foundation for mathematics. For many applications higher order logic works well and provides, for speciication, the beneets of type-checking that are well-known in programming. However, there are areas where types get in the way or seem unmotivated. Fu...
