Emotions are evolved systems of intra- and interpersonal processes that are regulatory in nature, dealing mostly with issues of personal or social concern. They regulate social interaction and in extension, the social sphere. In turn, processes in the social sphere regulate emotions of individuals and groups. In other words, intrapersonal processes project in the interpersonal space, and invers...

We describe how part-of-speech information delivered by a tagger (the mpro tool) has been integrated into the alep (Advanced Language Engineering Platform) system. For this we extended an approach described within the ls-gram project, which consisted in deening the Text Handling component of alep in such a way that so-called \messy details" are handled within this subsystem, hence keeping the (...

Generally, the typical approach towards Earth System Modeling has been to couple existing models of different domains (land, ocean, atmosphere,. . .) offline, using output files of one model to provide input for the other. However, for a detailed study of the interactions and feedbacks between chemical, physical, and biological processes, 5 it is necessary to perform the coupling online. One st...

Deception problems are among the hardest problems to solve using ordinary genetic algorithms. Designed to simulate a high degree of epistasis, these deception problems imitate extremely difficult real world problems. [1]. Studies show that Bayesian optimization and explicit building block manipulation algorithms, like the fast messy genetic algorithm (fmGA), can help in solving these problems. ...

This paper introduces the gene expression messy genetic algorithm (GEMGA)|a new generation of messy GAs that directly search for relations among the members of the search space. The GEMGA is an O((k (` 2 + k)) sample complexity algorithm for the class of order-k deline-able problems 6] (problems that can be solved by considering no higher than order-k relations). The GEMGA is designed based on ...

LoraWildenthal’s newest book offers a model for historicizing the recent past with a specific focus on human rights. While Samuel Moyn’s 2010 manifesto on the history of human rights unleashed excitement and controversy within the field and undoubtedly turned historians’ aention to the need for rigorously researched and historically grounded works on the subject, Wildenthal is one of the first...

With some exceptions, feminist scholars have written either about gender and globalizations or about transnational feminisms but rarely examined the relationship between them. In this essay, the author wants to reflect on this relationship to highlight how they have shaped each other. She suggests that feminisms are important force-shaping globalizations. At the same time, the relationship betw...
