Variations of the commonly applied landmark sampling are presented. These samplings are "forward" landmarking such that each stack of data is created by first selecting landmarks and then including the subsequent observations of the…

Recent years have witnessed a surge of publications aimed at tracing temporal changes in lexical semantics using distributional methods, particularly prediction-based word embedding models. However, this vein of research lacks the cohesion,…

In this survey article, we summarize some recent progress and problems on the symplectomorphism groups, with an emphasis on the connection to the space of ball-packings.

I briefly discuss some recent developments (and recall some old news) in the theory and phenomenology of generalised parton distributions.

I review the classical theory of likelihood based inference and consider how it is being extended and developed for use in complex models and sampling schemes.

We examine the extent to which random samplings from the values of a random set, determine the distribution of the random set itself. We also comment on how, given the statistics of the sampling, to detect the distribution. Several methods…

Recent decades have seen an interest in prediction problems for which Bayesian methodology has been used ubiquitously. Sampling from or approximating the posterior predictive distribution in a Bayesian model allows one to make inferential…

Future Information Retrieval, especially in connection with the internet, will incorporate the content descriptions that are generated with social network extraction technologies and preferably incorporate the probability theory for…

We present here the concept of Dominated Splitting and give an account of some important results on its dynamics.

This article gives a brief overview of the status of attempts to constrain inflation using observations, and examines prospects for future developments.

In this survey paper, I first review the history of Bernoulli numbers, then examine the modern definition of Bernoulli numbers and the appearance of Bernoulli numbers in expansion of functions. I revisit some properties of Bernoulli numbers…

Recently, data mining studies are being successfully conducted to estimate several parameters in a variety of domains. Data mining techniques have attracted the attention of the information industry and society as a whole, due to a large…

Scholarly usage data provides unique opportunities to address the known shortcomings of citation analysis. However, the collection, processing and analysis of usage data remains an area of active research. This article provides a review of…

This article is a collected information from some books and papers, and in most cases the original sentences is reserved about twin prime conjecture.

In the paper the old results on probabilities of small balls for stable measures in a Hilbert space, obtained in 1977 and remaining unpublished, are presented. Apart of historical value these results are interesting even now, since they are…

In real-world applications, observations are often constrained to a small fraction of a system. Such spatial subsampling can be caused by the inaccessibility or the sheer size of the system, and cannot be overcome by longer sampling.…

Sampling techniques are used in many fields, including design of experiments, image processing, and graphics. The techniques in each field are designed to meet the constraints specific to that field such as uniform coverage of the range of…

I present a short review of models for transverse-momentum distributions and transversity, with a particular attention on general features common to many models. I compare some model results with experimental extractions. I discuss the…

A problem is addressed of minimization of the number of measurements needed for digital image acquisition and reconstruction with a given accuracy. A sampling theory based method of image sampling and reconstruction is suggested that allows…

The talk contains a brief introduction string theory, followed by a discussion of some of the recent developments.
