With the LHC continuing to collect more data and experimental analyses becoming increasingly complex, tools efficiently develop execute these are essential. The bamboo framework defines a domain-specific language, embedded in python, that allows concisely express analysis logic functional style. implementation based on ROOT's RDataFrame cling C++ JIT compiler approaches performance of dedicated...

Although many approaches have been presented to compute and predict readability of documents in different languages, the information provided by readability systems often fail to show in a clear and understandable way how difficult a document is and which aspects contribute to content readability. We address this issue by presenting a system that, for a given document in Italian, provides not o...

Second, it represents the fundamental architecture of an enterprise’s data, and as such is an ideal starting place for database design. To be sure, the final structure of a database may differ from the data model for good and valid reasons, but the closer it remains to the original structure, the more likely it is to be able to resist requirements for future changes. To the system designer and ...

T he purpose of a scientific paper is to communicate results and analysis to the wider scientific community. The better a paper is written, the more readers it will attract and the more citations it is likely to receive. This alone should be sufficient to convince any scientist to put significant effort into his or her writing; unfortunately, this is rarely the case. More than a decade ago, Mar...

In this paper, two different auditory feedback schemes related to graphical buttons are compared to each other and to a visualonly condition. The results show that aesthetically pleasing auditory design is clearly preferred among the users, and can lead to performance benefits over not only a design with no auditory enhancements, but also a design with aesthetically less pleasing auditory enhan...

We present experiments using a new unsupervised approach to automatic text simplification, which builds on sampling and ranking via a loss function informed by readability research. The main idea is that a loss function can distinguish good simplification candidates among randomly sampled sub-sentences of the input sentence. Our approach is rated as equally grammatical and beginner reader appro...

The genotype and phenotype have been separated to make genetic manipulation simpler. Each program is represented as a xed-length integer array and then mapped onto Backus-Naur Form (BNF). The program statements used are shown in Figure 1a. The BNF is designed to minimise the size of the genome that describes a program. The mapping, between the genotype and phenotype, is similar to Grammatical E...
