Classic network optimization theory focuses on models with stochastic dynamics and all nodes being observable controllable. However, modern systems often offer limited access suffer from adversarial attacks. In this paper, we focus networks unobservable malicious nodes, where the dynamics, such as external arrivals control actions of can be adversarial. We first extend existing by introducing a...

In this paper we argue that the distribution of article omission in newspaper headlines is constrained by information-theoretical principles (Shannon 1948). To this effect, we present corpus data and results from an acceptability rating study. Both point in the same direction: In our corpus, articles are significantly more frequent, when they precede a less predictable head noun. And subjects p...

performance evaluation of universities is an important issue between researchers. classic data envelopment analysis (dea) models with deterministic data have been used by many authors to measure efficiency of universities in different countries. however, dea with stochastic data are, rarely used to measure efficiency of universities. in this paper, input oriented model in stochastic data envelo...

We study two related problems: the Maximum weightm′-edge cover (MWEC ) problem and the Fixed cost minimum edge cover (FCEC ) problem. In the MWEC problem, we are given an undirected simple graph G = (V,E) with integral vertex weights. The goal is to select a set U ⊆ V of maximum weight so that the number of edges with at least one endpoint in U is at most m′. Goldschmidt and Hochbaum [7] show t...

In this paper, we present two experiments that investigate how intonation can constrain pragmatic inference. While prior research has shown that intonation can increase the likelihood of an inference being made, less is known about how it affects the mechanisms involved in processing of inferences. In the first experiment, listeners had more direct mouse paths towards target responses for stron...
