This project generates random text based on the patterns of characters in a source file. By analyzing given text for character patterns, random characters can be selected according to the likelihood that it follows any given length k of characters, and the resulting generated text is then outputted to a file. Based on the length k chosen for these ”seeds” of characters, different levels of anal...

But despite their differences each man deeply valued the other. Darwin persuaded the British government to award Wallace a pension for services to science. Wallace dedicated his book The Malay Archipelago to Darwin, “as a token of personal esteem and friendship but also to express my deep admiration for his genius and his works.” Wallace also called his 1889 collection of evolutionary essays Da...

We present Linkage Query Writer (LinQuer), a system for generating SQL queries for semantic link discovery over relational data. The LinQuer framework consists of (a) LinQL, a language for specification of linkage requirements; (b) a web interface and an API for translating LinQL queries to standard SQL queries; (c) an interface that assists users in writing LinQL queries. We discuss the challe...

In this paper we consider single writer multiple reader concurrency—any number of transactions can atomically access shared data structures, but only one thread can atomically update the data. Limiting ourselves to a single writer allows us to achieve strong properties, some of which are not achievable with multiple writers. In particular, we guarantee strict serializability, no aborts, wait-fr...

In the last several years, we developed new and very effective techniques for automatic writer identification that use probability distribution functions extracted the handwriting images to characterize writer individuality. The demonstration will present a html-based visualization tool that we recently built in order to be able to directly see and assess the results generated by our writer ide...
