documented war experiences have provided early descriptions of different group of psychiatric features. a combat soldier with palpitation and chest pains was felt to have a functional cardiac disturbance, called soldier's heart. anxiety and other symptoms indicating increased arousal were called shell shock and were thought to be related to lesions in the central nervous system (cns). desc...

The ethical constraints forced on an investment fund satisfy the fulfilment of humanitarian aims but may lower the investment profitability. Hence, when we measure the performance of ethical mutual funds we cannot disregard the ethical component. In this contribution we propose a performance indicator which considers the expected return, the investment risk, the ethical component and the subscr...

Researchers have recognized the importance of developing an accurate classification system for externalizing disorders, though much of this work has been framed by a priori preferences for categorical vs. dimensional constructs. Newer statistical technologies now allow categorical and dimensional models of psychopathology to be compared empirically. In this study, we directly compared the fit o...

This paper presents a method of learning distributed representation for multi-field categorical data, which is a common data format with various applications such as recommender systems, social link prediction, and computational advertising. The success of non-linear models, e.g., factorisation machines, boosted trees, has proved the potential of exploring the interactions among inter-field cat...
