First a naive implementation with a feature selection containing few features, results in poor accuracy because (i) the stop words and non-words haven’t been filtered and turn out as the features with high probability, and (ii) with few features the dictionary might be biased towards one class. Table 1 shows the positive and negative dictionary formed by selecting the top ten features from each...

It is also targeted to people designing, developing, using, or testing software that ensures some form of quality of these user interfaces, manually, automatically or in a computer-aided way: logging tools, validity checker, reverse engineering tools, re-engineering tools, tr...

Suppose we have some undirected graph G = (GV , GE) represented as an adjacency matrix with |GV | rows and |GV | columns. G is said to be Hamiltonian if there exists a cycle CH that passes through each vertex in GV exactly once. This cycle is called a Hamiltonian cycle. Finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a graph if one exists is an NP-complete problem. We would like to use a zeroknowledge protocol ...

Abstract Disasters can impact upon individuals, families, and communities in multiple ways.
