Scholars writing books that are widely used to support teaching in higher education may be undervalued due to a lack of evidence of teaching value. Whilst sales data may give credible evidence for textbooks, it may poorly reflect educational uses of other types of books. As an alternative, this article proposes a method to automatically search for mentions of books in online academic course syl...

The Cayley Isomorphism property for combinatorial objects was introduced by L. Babai in 1977. Since then it has been intensively studied for binary relational structures: graphs, digraphs, colored graphs etc. In this paper we study this property for oriented Cayley maps. A Cayley map is a Cayley graph provided by a cyclic rotation of its connection set. If the underlying graph is connected, the...

Sketch maps are an externalization of an individual’s mental images of an environment. The information represented in sketch maps is schematized, distorted, generalized, and thus processing spatial information in sketch maps requires plausible representations based on human cognition. Typically only qualitative relations between spatial objects are preserved in sketch maps, and therefore proces...

finite affine groups are given by groups of translations and di-lations on finite cyclic groups. for cyclic groups of prime orderwe develop a time-scale (wavelet) analysis and show that for alarge class of non-zero window signals/vectors, the generatedfull cyclic wavelet system constitutes a frame whose canonicaldual is a cyclic wavelet frame.

Automatic acquisition of inference rules for predicates has been commonly addressed by computing distributional similarity between vectors of argument words, operating at the word space level. A recent line of work, which addresses context sensitivity of rules, represented contexts in a latent topic space and computed similarity over topic vectors. We propose a novel two-level model, which comp...

This paper describes TM/XML, an XML syntax for Topic Maps that is very close to the natural, or colloquial, XML representation of the information in the topic map. It can be used to process Topic Maps data with XML tools, and integrate non-Topic Maps systems with Topic

We first present a previously unpublished result of Stanton [11] that the group of order four generated by rotation by 90◦ acting on alternating sign matrices exhibits the CSP with the obvious q-analogue of |ASM(n)|. In [12], Wieland introduced a much larger cyclic group that acts on the set of alternating sign matrices. Unfortunately, it has a very complex orbit structure that does not exhibit...

A teacher must consider many details when planning and organizing a course. This paper shows how the new Topic Map computer technology can help in this process. The developed Topic Map for the CS knowledge domain is used for the analysis of introductory CS courses, but it can be also applied to other courses, including in noncomputer disciplines. Well-structured Topic Maps may become a solid ba...
