One persistent problem in cognition is how people acquire large amount knowledge on the basis of relatively little information they get. Some statistical models have been proposed which claim to at least partially present a solution to this problem. In these models, statistical analysis of large amounts of text is performed to produce a high-dimensional representation of words or passages in a ...

A block cipher or a message authentication code(MAC ) should behave as random mapping which can be evaluated during statistical tests. Statistical test suites typically used for evaluation of random mapping are NIST, Diehard, Dieharder and TestU01 which are not well-suited for block ciphers and MAC s. These test suites employ frequentist approach;thus, making it difficult to overall evaluate th...

Given a dataset containing sensitive personal information, a statistical database answers aggregate queries in a manner that preserves individual privacy. We consider the problem of constructing a statistical database using output perturbation, which protects privacy by injecting a small noise into each query result. We show that the state-of-the-art approach, -differential privacy, suffers fro...

Is it real or fake? That is the question. A discrimination task that may seem trivial to humans can be extremely complicated for a machine. Humans make use of a “makes sense” feature, which relies on world knowledge including Linguistics, to distinguish between real and fake articles. Unfortunately such a feature does not exist for machines yet. As such, to solve a relatively mundane problem fo...

The basic physiology of leucocyte emigration from the intravascular space into the tissues is now known to be dependent on a class of cell surface molecules that have come to be known as adhesion molecules. Many cell-cell interactions are dependent on adhesion and signal transduction via the various adhesion molecules, particularly the integrins. The study of the functions of these molecules ha...

recurrent ear, nose, and throat (ent) infections are common presenting symptoms in patients with primary antibody deficiencies , but sometimes they remain undiagnosed for many years and are subjected to different antibiotics because of a lack of experience in immunodeficiencies. in order to determin the frequency of ent symptoms among the patients with antibody deficiencies, 83 antibody deficie...
