Various theories of linguistics have proposed that the differences among natural languages can be parameterized. Certainly syntactic theories such as Principles and Parameters (Chomsky, 1981) assume the existence of such parameters. Along with the problem of defining parameters, we need to address the problem of a child’s acquisition of the settings of these parameters. Several algorithms for p...

Centering Theory is the best known conceptual framework for theorizing about local coherence and salience; however, its claims are articulated in terms of notions which are only partially specified, such as ‘previous utterance’, ‘realization’, or ‘ranking’, and can be viewed as PARAMETERS of the theory. A great deal of research has been concerned with providing more detailed specifications for ...

The one loop corrected effective Lagrangian for the quark-squark-chargino and quarksquark-neutralino interactions is computed. The effective Lagrangian takes into account the loop corrections arising from the exchange of the gluinos, charginos, neutralinos, W, Z, the charged Higgs, and the neutral Higgs. We further analyze the squark decays into charginos and neutralinos and discuss the effect ...

When in a linear GMM model nuisance parameters are eliminated by multiplying the moment conditions by a projection matrix, the covariance matrix of the model, the inverse of which is typically used to construct an efficient GMM estimator, turns out to be singular and thus cannot be inverted. However, one can show that the generalized inverse can be used instead to produce an efficient estimator...

We consider the real three-dimensional Euclidean Jordan algebra associated to a strongly regular graph. Then, the Krein parameters of a strongly regular graph are generalized and some generalized Krein admissibility conditions are deduced. Furthermore, we establish some relations between the classical Krein parameters and the generalized Krein parameters.

The automatic selection of good viewing parameters is very complex. In most cases, the notion of good strongly depends on the concrete application. Moreover, when an intuitive definition of good view is available, it is often difficult to establish a measure that brings it to the practice. Commonly, two kind of viewing parameters must be set: the position and orientation of the camera, and the ...

A central concern of linguistic theory is to account for how the arguments of a given lexical item are associated with positions in a syntactic structure. Many theorists hold that this mapping is mediated by a so-called thematic hierarchy. In Principles-and-Parameters style theories this typically works as follows. A verb selects arguments with certain thematic (θ-) roles. These θ−roles are ran...

This paper considers estimation of parameters for high-dimensional time series with the presence of many nuisance parameters. In particular we are interested in data consisting of p time series of length n, with p to be as large or even larger than n. Here we consider the composite-likelihood estimation and the profile quasi-likelihood estimation. The asymptotic properties of these methodologie...

This paper describes the KLUEless system which participated in the SemEval-2015 task on “Sentiment Analysis in Twitter”. This year the updated system based on the developments for the same task in 2014 (Evert et al., 2014) and 2013 (Proisl et al., 2013) participated in all five subtasks. The paper gives an overview of the core features extended by different additional features and parameters re...

We provide cubature formulas for the calculation of derivatives of expected values in the spririt of Terry Lyons and Nicolas Victoir. In financial mathematics derivatives of option prices with respect to initial values, so called Greeks, are of particular importance as hedging parameters. The proof of existence of Cubature formulas for Greeks is based on an argument, which leads to the calculat...
