This note uses the contingent claims analysis (CCA) framework to estimate potential bank losses (in the event of distress) and the magnitude of implicit government guarantees for the top 17 U.S. commercial banks, all of which have been stress-tested in the context of the SCAP. In addition, it presents potential losses and quantifies the individual banks’ contributions to government contingent l...

This paper describes a system for discriminating between factual and non-factual contexts, trained on weakly labeled data by taking advantage of information implicit in annotations of negated events. In addition to evaluating factuality detection in isolation, we also evaluate its impact on a system for event detection. The two components for factuality detection and event detection form part o...

Using effective theories for jets and heavy quarks it is possible to prove that the double differential top-antitop invariant mass distribution for the process ee → tt̄ in the resonance region for c.m. energies Q much larger than the top mass can factorized into perturbatively computable hard coefficients and jet functions and a non-perturbative soft function. For invariant mass prescriptions ba...

I consider the prospect to use the outer layer of the Moon as a detector volume for ultra–high energy (UHE) neutrino fluxes and the flux of the lightest neutralino which I assume is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). For this purpose, I calculate the event rates of these fluxes for top–down scenarios. I show that a suitable experiment for the detection of radio waves might be able to d...

Non-statistical event-by-event fluctuations of mean transverse momentum, pT , have been proposed as a possible signature for the QCD phase transition, in particular for the critical point. A surprising finding was that a small but practically beam energy independent value was found for the broad energy range of 40 AGeV SPS beam up to top RHIC energy [1]. On the other hand, the fluctuations seem...

This paper describes a novel approach, based on intuitionistic fuzzy set theory for reliability analysis of series and parallel network. The triangular intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to represent the failure possibility of each basic (terminal) event to get more comprehensive results for the failure possibility of the top event. The proposed technique is demonstrated on a web server LOG dat...

This paper presents a language for the semantic annotation of images, focusing on event types, their participants, and their spatial and orientational configurations. This language, ImageML, is a self-contained layered specification language, building on top of ISOspace, as well as some elements from Spatial Role Labeling and SpatialML. An annotation language characterizing such features surrou...

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved the top performance for event detection due to their capacity to induce the underlying structures of the k-grams in the sentences. However, the current CNN-based event detectors only model the consecutive k-grams and ignore the non-consecutive kgrams that might involve important structures for event detection. In this work, we propose to improve...

N -subjettiness is a jet shape designed to identify boosted hadronic objects such as top quarks. Given N subjet axes within a jet, N -subjettiness sums the angular distances of jet constituents to their nearest subjet axis. Here, we generalize and improve on N -subjettiness by minimizing over all possible subjet directions, using a new variant of the k-means clustering algorithm. On boosted top...
