Encouraged by results from our approaches in previous PAN workshops, this paper explores three different approaches using stopword cooccurrence. High frequency patterns of co-occurrence can be used to some extent as identifiers of an author’s style, and have been demonstrated to operate similarly across certain languages without requiring deeper linguistic knowledge. However, making best use of...

In conclusion, the model itself is theoretically sound and the results of the eY cacy study are encouraging. Future research might usefully be directed at invest igating the relative importance of each of the aspects of the model, the eY cacy of the planned breaks and the eVects of parent education and involvement in therapy. The model oVers a broad outline to aid clin icians in planning eVect ...

We study, on a d dimensional hypercubic lattice, a random walk which is homogeneous except for one site. Instead of visiting this site, the walker hops over it with arbitrary rates. The probability distribution of this walk and the statistics associated with the hop-overs are found exactly. This analysis provides a simple approach to the problem of tagged diffusion, i.e., the movements of a tra...

We present a method for systematically identifying neighbourhoods that may face transportation diYculties during an evacuation. A classi® cation of this nature oVers a unique approach to assessing community vulnerability in regions subject to fast-moving hazards of uncertain spatial impact (e.g., urban ® restorms and toxic spills on highways) . The approach is founded on an integer programming ...

This paper considers the decision problem of when to declare during the third innings of a test cricket match. There are various factors that affect the decision of the declaring team including the target score, the number of overs remaining, the relative desire to win versus draw, and the scoring characteristics of the particular match. Decision rules are developed and these are assessed again...
