We investigate ten years of user support emails in the large-scale solver library PETSc in order to identify changes in user requests. For this purpose we assign each email thread to one or several categories describing the type of support…
In this issue we celebrate the appearance of the proceedings of the first SPM Workshop, announce several mathematical breakthroughs, have two extended contributions by Babinkostova, and a new open problem by Kalenda. Contents: Editor's…
Contents: 1. Editor's note 2. Research announcements 2.1. Pseudocompact group topologies with no infinite compact subsets 2.2. Selective coideals on (FIN[1]k) 2.3. Entire functions mapping uncountable dense sets of reals onto each other…
Software engineering research benefited for decades from openly available tools, accessible systems, and problems that could be studied at modest scale. Today, many of the most relevant software systems are large, proprietary, and embedded…
Information overload and the rapid pace of scientific advancement make it increasingly difficult to evaluate and allocate resources to new research proposals. Is there a structure to scientific discovery that could inform such decisions? We…
The field of Machine Learning research is divided into subject areas, where each area tries to solve a specific problem, using specific methods. In recent years, borders have almost been erased, and many areas inherit methods from other…
This article appeared in the September 2024 issue (Vol. 31, No. 3) of the Bulletin of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA).
Among the many papers announced here, a recent series of papers of Franklin Tall on selective properties (SPM) is noteworthy.
Mathematical symbols and descriptions appear in various forms across document section boundaries without explicit markup. In this paper, we present a new large-scale dataset that emphasizes extracting symbols and descriptions in scientific…
New version of my 1998 article. The method of proof of the main results follows the original, but there are many simplifications/streamlining of arguments, especially Lemma 3.6 (new Lemma 3.7). Fixed small error in proof of lower bound for…
Academic challenges comprise effective means for (i) advancing the state of the art, (ii) putting in the spotlight of a scientific community specific topics and problems, as well as (iii) closing the gap for under represented communities in…
Over the last few decades, the nature of scientific research has changed in response to external influences. Firstly, powerful networked computers have become a standard tool. Secondly, society presses ever harder for research to deliver…
Computational scientists are facing a new era where the old ways of developing and reusing code have to be left behind and a few daring steps are to be made towards new horizons. The present work analyzes the needs that drive this change,…
Main results and achievements of 2002 - 2003 in neutrino physics are summarized. The field moves quickly to new phase with clear experimental and phenomenological programs, and with new theoretical puzzle which may lead us to discoveries of…
This is an updated survey on the inverse spectral problem written for the Notices of the ICCM. It rapidly reviews some of the material in the previous survey of the same title (arXiv:math/0402356) and then discusses some relatively new…
This is a list of open problems on invariants of knots and 3-manifolds with expositions of their history, background, significance, or importance. This list was made by editing open problems given in problem sessions in the workshop and…
These reports present the results of the 2013 Community Summer Study of the APS Division of Particles and Fields ("Snowmass 2013") on the future program of particle physics in the U.S. Chapter 10, on Communication, Education, and Outreach,…
This issue contains announcements of articles on: The Pytkeev property; Partial order embeddings; Resolvability; Singular density; P(w)/fin and the Calkin algebra; Everywhere meagre and everywhere null sets; almost disjoint families;…
Reproducibility is an important feature of science; experiments are retested, and analyses are repeated. Trust in the findings increases when consistent results are achieved. Despite the importance of reproducibility, significant work is…
Existing norms for scientific communication are rooted in anachronistic practices of bygone eras, making them needlessly inefficient. We outline a path that moves away from the existing model of scientific communication to improve the…
