Objectives: This work focuses on creating targeted content-specific topicbased clusters. They can help users to discover the topics in a set of documents information more efficiently. Methods/Statistical analysis: The Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) based models learn by directly decomposing term-document matrix, which is bag-of-word matrix representation text corpus, into two low-rank ...

Transactional memory (TM) algorithms are subtle and the TM correctness conditions are intricate. Decomposition of the correctness condition can bring modularity to TM algorithm design and verification. We present a decomposition of opacity called markability as a conjunction of separate intuitive invariants. We prove the equivalence of opacity and markability. The proofs of markability of TM al...

This paper proposes a sequencing algorithm for intensity-modulated radiation therapy with a multileaf collimator in the static mode. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of segments in a delivery sequence. For a machine with a long verification and recording overhead time (e.g., 15 s per segment), minimizing the number of segments is equivalent to minimizing the delivery time. The proposed...

Efficient techniques are developed for completing unbalanced and sparse low-order tensors, which cannot be effectively completed by popular matrix-rank optimization based such as compressed sensing and/or the $\ell _{q}$ -matrix-metric....

The primary proposal of this thesis that in questions, a “Q” morpheme must undergo syntactic movement from a clause-internal position to a clause-peripheral position. Throughout this thesis, we develop a syntactic analysis and a semantic formalism for questions that accounts for the facts observed in wh-in-situ languages (focusing mainly on Japanese, Sinhala, Shuri Okinawan, and premodern Japan...

Are the marked members of antonym-pairs such as long – short decomposed in the syntax? Büring has recently argued that they are, on the basis of evidence about the distribution of Rullmann-ambiguities and crosspolar anomalies. But the readings of marked antonyms in the complements of matrix modals seem to argue for the opposite conclusion. The dilemma that results defies a simple solution. Perh...
