Machine learning has been a popular tool in many different fields, including procedural content generation. However, procedural content generation via machine learning (PCGML) approaches can struggle with controllability and coherence. In this paper,...
This paper studies the general relationship between the gearing ratio of a Leveraged ETF and its corresponding expense ratio, viz., the investment management fees that are charged for the provision of this levered financial service. It must not be po...
Metadata vocabularies are essential for advancing FAIR and FARR data principles, but their development constrained by limited human resources and inconsistent standardization practices. This paper introduces MatSci-YAMZ, a platform that integrates ar...
Flexible metadata pipelines are crucial for supporting the FAIR data principles. Despite this need, researchers seldom report their approaches for identifying metadata standards and protocols that support optimal flexibility. This paper reports on an...
Research methods and procedures are core aspects of the research process. Metadata focused on these components is critical to supporting the FAIR principles, particularly reproducibility. The research reported on in this paper presents a methodologic...
In this short paper, we give an upper bound for the number of different basic feasible solutions generated by the simplex method for linear programming problems having optimal solutions. The bound is polynomial of the number of constraints, the numbe...
I have the basic kindle 2024 and I rarely see anyone talking about it. Most people usually commend the paperwhite. Is it just me?...
In this paper we introduce point-ellipse configurations and point-conic configurations. We study some of their basic properties and describe two interesting families of balanced point-ellipse, respectively point-conic $6$-configurations. The construc...
A prior represents a set of beliefs or assumptions about a system, aiding inference and decision-making. In this paper, we introduce the challenge of unsupervised categorical prior learning in pose estimation, where AI models learn a general pose pri...
Multi-person articulated pose tracking in unconstrained videos is an important while challenging problem. In this paper, going along the road of top-down approaches, we propose a decent and efficient pose tracker based on pose flows. First, we design...
The purpose of this paper is to prove a conjecture on reciprocity sheaves by Kahn-Saito-Yamazaki. This is accomplished by extending Voevodsky's fundamental results on homotopy invariant (pre)sheaves with transfers to its generalizations, reciprocity...
Drawing Hands is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher first printed in January 1948. It depicts a sheet of paper, out of which two hands rise
Simple drawings of graphs are those in which each pair of edges share at most one point, either a common endpoint or a proper crossing. In this paper we study the problem of extending a simple drawing $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ by inserting a set of edges...
Drawing is a visual art that uses an instrument to mark paper or another two-dimensional surface, or a digital representation of such. Traditionally,
This paper presents software implementations of batch computations, dealing with multi-precision integer operations. In this work, we use the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) AVX512 instruction set of the x86-64 processors, in particular the v...
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) promises information-theoretic security, yet integrating QKD into existing protocols like TLS remains challenging due to its fundamentally different operational model. In this paper, we propose a hybrid QKD-KEM protocol...
This paper presents, for the first time, a novel Decentralized IDentifier (DID) Method called Over-The-Tangle and discusses its design and working principles that leverage the IOTA Tangle as the Root-of-Trust for identity data. The results of a long...
This paper is a continuation of the systematic study of the distributions of quadrant marked mesh patterns initiated in [6]. Given a permutation $\sg = \sg_1 ... \sg_n$ in the symmetric group $S_n$, we say that $\sg_i$ matches the quadrant marked mes...
In this paper, we propose Tutoring bot, a generative chatbot trained on a large scale of tutor-student conversations for English-language learning. To mimic a human tutor's behavior in language education, the tutor bot leverages diverse educational i...
Discovering the most interesting patterns is the key problem in the field of pattern mining. While ranking or selecting patterns is well-studied for itemsets it is surprisingly under-researched for other, more complex, pattern types. In this paper...
