The main goal of Transport Channel Synchronization is that frames sent by the RNC arrive in time to the Nodes B for transmission over the air interface. The 3GPP specifies a simple Timing Adjustment algorithm that tracks the delay of the Iub link (interface defined between RNC and Node B) by adding or subtracting a constant step. We show that this scheme reacts too slowly under abrupt delay var...

When the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) published study 329 in 2001, its editors could have had no idea that the paper would spark a controversy, not only about the use of the antidepressant paroxetine in children but also about secrecy in clinical trials. It is a controversy that rages to this day and that goes to the heart of recent campaigns to ga...

The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These restrictions seem artificial. Some progress has been made to extend the theory to arbitrary Bernoulli distributions (by Martin-Löf), and to arbitrary distributions (...

We study “active” decision making over sensor networks where the sensors' sequential probing actions are actively chosen by continuously learning from past observations. consider two network settings: with and without central coordination. In first case, nodes interact each other through a entity, which plays role of fusion center. second in fully distributed fashion. both these scenarios, we p...

The fraction of training data chosen as support vectors gives us an idea of the complexity of the concept being modeled. Controlling the number of support vectors and their relevance allows us to control the complexity of the concept learnt. In this paper we present a method to approximately control the fraction of support vectors. We demonstrate it’s applicability to the tuning of the feature ...

We present the experiment the LCI group has performed to prepare our submission to CLEF-IP Classification Track. In this preliminary experiment we used a part of the available target documents as test set and the rest as train set. We describe the systems AGFL used for extracting these triples and the LCS used for classification by the Winnow algorithm. We show that the use of linguistic triple...
