The discovery of fifth nonlinear region of operation i.e. quasi–chaos is confirmed in this paper after its recently reported two observations in loss and pumpmodulated Erbium doped fiber ring lasers.Quasi-chaos is apparently chaos but its time and physical phase space trajectories actually converge instead of diverging, even for widely separated initial conditions once the system numerical mode...

Benefit–cost analysis (BCA) evaluates governmental policies by summing individuals’ monetary equivalents, and is insensitive to distributional concerns. BCA does not take into account whether those made better off by a policy have higher or lower incomes, or higher or lower levels of nonincome welfare-relevant attributes (e.g., health), than those made worse off. Arguably, distributional consid...

In recent years, encryption technology has been developed rapidly the chaos based cryptographic algorithms. Chaos owns certain critical properties such as sensitive dependence on initial condition, random-like behavior, and continuous broadband power spectrum, which match the confusion, diffusion, and key sensitivity requirements for cryptography. Chaos based cryptographic offer sundry features...

Control of chaos in the single-mode optically pumped far-infrared NH3 laser is experimentally demonstrated using continuous time-delay control. Both the Lorenz spiral chaos and the detuned period-doubling chaos exhibited by the laser have been controlled. While the laser is in the Lorenz spiral chaos regime the chaos has been controlled both such that the laser output is cw, with corrections of...

We investigate the relationship between lexical spaces and contextually-defined conceptual spaces, offering applications to creative concept discovery. We define a computational method for discovering members of concepts based on semantic spaces: starting with a standard distributional model derived from corpus co-occurrence statistics, we dynamically select characteristic dimensions associated...

Adjectival modification, particularly by expressions that have been treated as higherorder modifiers in the formal semantics tradition, raises interesting challenges for semantic composition in distributional semantic models. We contrast three types of adjectival modifiers – intersectively used color terms (as in white towel, clearly first-order), subsectively used color terms (white wine, whic...

Despite the number of NLP studies dedicated to thematic fit estimation, little attention has been paid to the related task of composing and updating verb argument expectations. The few exceptions have mostly modeled this phenomenon with structured distributional models, implicitly assuming a similarly structured representation of events. Recent experimental evidence, however, suggests that huma...

The most exciting recent development in nonlinear dynamics is realization that chaos can be useful. One application involves "Secure Communication". Two piecewise linear systems with switching nonlinearities have been taken as chaos generators. In the present work the phenomenon of secure communication with chaos masking has been investigated experimentally. In this investigation chaos which is...

In this talk, I discuss the ability of compositional distributional semantics to model adjective modification. I present three studies that explore the degree to which semantic intuitions are grounded in the distributional representations of adjective-noun phrases, as well as provide insight into various linguistic phenomena by extracting unsupervised cues from these distributional representati...

English. The inclusion of semantic features in the stylometric analysis of literary texts appears to be poorly investigated. In this work, we experiment with the application of Distributional Semantics to a corpus of Italian literature to test if words distribution can convey stylistic cues. To verify our hypothesis, we have set up an Authorship Attribution experiment. Indeed, the results we ha...
