As the patronymic Ethiopian names do not match widespread GIVEN NAME – FAMILY pattern of Western world, authors are often quoted inconsistently and inappropriately by scholars in field linguistic typology historical-comparative linguistics. After a brief introduction into naming conventions summary recurrent issues quoting scientific publications, we propose number general citation rules that w...

Quote attribution is the task of identifying the speaker of each quote within a document. While recent research has established large-scale corpora for this task, these corpora are not yet consistent in the way they handle candidate speakers, and many of the reported results rely on gold standard annotations of both entities and coreference chains. In this work we evaluate three quote attributi...

In this paper, we conduct t...

The notion that information moves through social networks has been widely discussed[3], however, with the growing availability of large digital corpora, the ability to quantitatively model this phenomenon is new. To this end we explore a large corpus of online news quotations looking for cases of noisy reproduction and the factors which influence such noise. An essential step in this process is...

The evaluation of structured credit products like baskets and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) most often relies on the simulation of correlated default times for the underlying pool of credit instruments. Given the distribution of a default time vector one can find the distribution of the corresponding (cumulative) default quote path for a portfolio. In this note we show that t...
