We study a general algorithm to improve accuracy in cluster analysis that employs the James-Stein shrinkage effect in k-means clustering. We shrink the centroids of clusters toward the overall mean of all data using a James-Stein-type adjustment, and then the James-Stein shrinkage estimators act as the new centroids in the next clustering iteration until convergence. We compare the shrinkage re...

In this paper we prove the Dipper–James conjecture that the centre of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra of type A is the set of symmetric polynomials in the Jucys–Murphy operators. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

* The title is comprised from part of titles of major papers being discussed, namely Pustejovsky [Pus91] and Fong [Fon01].

In this paper we revisit Pustejovsky's proposal to treat ontologically complex word meaning by socalled dotted pairs. We use a higherorder feature logic based on Ohori's record -calculus to model the semantics of words like book and library, in particular their behavior in the context of quanti cation and cardinality statements.

Im Sommersemester 1994 wurde an der Technischen Universität München erstmals das Praktikum ” Entwurf großer Systeme: Softwaretechnik“ durchgeführt. Ziel der Veranstaltung war, die teilnehmenden Studierenden anhand eines echten Projekts in die ingenieurmäßige Software-Entwicklung im Team einzuführen und mit objektorientierten Analyseund Designtechniken vertraut zu machen. Im folgenden beschreibe...
