In this work we extend to the interval-valued setting the notion of an overlap functions and we discuss a method which makes use of interval-valued overlap functions for constructing OWA operators with interval-valued weights. . Some properties of intervalvalued overlap functions and the derived interval-valued OWA operators are analysed. We specially focus on the homogeneity and migrativity pr...

We present a flexible analysis/synthesis tool for transient signals that extends current sinusoidal and sines+noise models for audio to sines+transients+noise. The explicit handling of transients provides a more realistic and robust signal model. Because the transient model presented is the frequency domain dual to sinusoidal modeling, it has similar flexibility and allows for a wide range of t...

We present improvements to our incremental proposition-based summariser, which is inspired by Kintsch and van Dijk’s (1978) text comprehension model. Argument overlap is a central concept in this summariser. Our new model replaces the old overlap method based on distributional similarity with one based on lexical chains. We evaluate on a new corpus of 124 summaries of educational texts, and sho...

We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n→∞, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the fraction that overlap approaches 1. Nevertheless, each does have (several) nonoverlapping edge unfoldings.

Data contained in a 1982 paper were analyzed in terms of relevance odds of common items retrieved by searching any two content-bearing search fields. While the 1982 study compared the relative retrieval performance of 7 search fields, the present study shows that duplicate documents retrieved by the use of terms from any two of the fields would have higher odds of being judged relevant than tho...

Given S1, a finite set of points in the plane, we define a sequence of point sets Si as follows: With Si already determined, let Li be the set of all the line segments connecting pairs of points of ⋃i j=1 Sj , and let Si+1 be the set of intersection points of those line segments in Li, which cross but do not overlap. We show that with the exception of some starting configurations the set of all...

Variation in the size and overlap of space use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has broad implications for managing deer–human conflicts and disease spread and transmission in urban landscapes. Understanding which factors affect overlap of home range by various segments (i.e., age, sex) of an urban deer population has implications to direct contact between deer on disease epidemiol...
