In this paper we propose the self-healing feature for group key distribution through Subset Difference (SD) method proposed by D. Naor et al. The subset difference method is one of the efficient proposals for group key distribution, however, recently a polynomial based solution for key distribution was proposed by D. Liu et al., which has the similar message size but also provides self-healing ...

A Survey of Self-Organizing Data-Structures Susanne Albers and Jeffery Westbrook Self-organizing data structures modify their structure while processing a sequence of operations. The data structure is allowed to be in an arbitrary state, i.e. no global constraint has to be satisfied, but during each operation a simple restructuring rule is applied. The purpose of this restructuring is to guaran...

PURPOSE To examine viewers' comment responses to nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) YouTube videos to determine the potential risks (e.g., NSSI continuation) and benefits (e.g., recovery-oriented social support) of the videos. METHODS Viewers' comments from the 100 most-viewed NSSI videos on YouTube were examined using two coding rubrics, one for the global nature of comments and one for recovery...

The three motivations behind the Rand index [4], a general clustering evaluation metric, can be rephrased in coreference terms: (i) every mention is unequivocably assigned to a specific entity; (ii) entities are defined just as much by those mentions which they do not contain as by those mentions which they do contain; and (iii) all mentions are of equal importance in the determination of the e...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a life-long condition with a wide and varied range of symptoms which can have a profound impact on all aspects of a patient’s life including future plans, self-confidence, self-esteem, relationships, quality of life and employment prospects. living with ms can certainly be difficult and frustrating. over time, however, most people find ways to adapt and come to terms ...

Our submission was a reduced version of the system described in Haghighi and Klein (2010), with extensions to improve mention detection to suit the OntoNotes annotation scheme. Including exact matching mention detection in this shared task added a new and challenging dimension to the problem, particularly for our system, which previously used a very permissive detection method. We improved this...

Induction is the process by which seen data becomes the basis for prediction of unseen data. There has long been a desire to explain the procedure in a context-free way. But Hume’s circularity problem and the no-free-lunch theorems both seem to suggest the logical impossibility of any context-free mechanism. Machine Learning takes the position that no such mechanism exists. But an alternative c...

While significant effort has been put into annotating linguistic resources for several languages, there are still many left that have only small amounts of such resources. This paper investigates a method of propagating information (specifically mention detection information) into such low resource languages from richer ones. Experiments run on three language pairs (Arabic-English, Chinese-Engl...

A black bag, needed especially for home visits, has been used since the time of Hippocrates who, in his treatise "On good manners", gave the first detailed description of a medical bag with guidelines for the required equipment and structure. Ancient Egyptian and Palestinian references also date back at least two millenniums.
