Punctuation is the main factor introducing correlations in natural language written texts and it crucially impacts their overall effectiveness, expressiveness, and readability. Punctuation marks at the end of sentences are of particular importance as...

The design of transportation networks is generally performed on the basis of the division of a metropolitan region into communities. With the combination of the scale, population density, and travel characteristics of each community, the transportati...

Exploiting the van der Waals model of liquids, it is possible to derive analytical formulas for the thermodynamic functions governing solvation, the transfer of a solute molecule from a fixed position in the ideal gas phase to a fixed position in the...

We consider three different systems in a heat flow: an ideal gas, a van der Waals gas, and a binary mixture of ideal gases. We divide each system internally into two subsystems by a movable wall. We show that the direction of the motion of the wall,...

With the rapid advancement of the Internet and big data technologies, traditional centralized machine learning methods are challenged when dealing with large-scale datasets. Federated Learning (FL), as an emerging distributed machine learning paradig...

A method is proposed for analyzing the tremor of the earth’s surface, measured by GPS, in order to highlight prognostic effects. The method is applied to the analysis of daily time series of vertical displacements in Japan. The network of 1047...

The complete characterization of the almost-entropic region yields rate regions for network coding problems. However, this characterization is difficult and open. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to determine whether an arbitrary vector in...

We apply a real-space block renormalization group approach to study the critical properties of the random transverse-field Ising spin chain with multispin interactions. First, we recover the known properties of the traditional model with two-spin int...

A typical claim in anti-representationalist approaches to cognition such as ecological psychology or radical embodied cognitive science is that ecological information is sufficient for guiding behavior. According to this view, affordances are immedia...

In any Bayesian computations, the first step is to derive the joint distribution of all the unknown variables given the observed data. Then, we have to do the computations. There are four general methods for performing computations: Joint MAP optimiz...
