© PrismTech, 2013 Modeling & Simulation Challenges The need to make Modeling & Simulation (M&S) environments more realistic and sophisticated so that they can support an increasingly varied and wide range of complex situations is driving the need for extremely high throughput, low latency, real-time data sharing over geographically dispersed distributed networks. This is combined with the need ...

There are five key factors that are considered when refining and maintaining the BondEdge prepayment model. First, we consider the historical performance of the model. Second, we examine whether the risk measures across a wide range of vintages and coupon ranges are reasonable and consistent. Third, we keep a close eye on macro-economic variables that may influence prepayment behavior. Fourth, ...

1 WHAT IS MACHINE READING? With the advent of large datasets of paragraphs + questions, e.g., SQuAD [4], TriviaQA [3], there has been renewed interest in generalpurpose “reading comprehension” (RC) systems, capable of answering questions against those paragraphs, e.g., [5, 6]. These systems have become remarkably effective at factoid QA. However, they require extensive training data, and can st...

To have impact, a grand challenge should provide a way for diverse research to be integrated in a synergistic fashion. Synergy in the JML project comes from a shared specification language, and thus holds several lessons for the verifying compiler grand challenge. An important lesson is that the project should focus considerable resources on specification language design, which still contains m...
