In this paper, we present our solution to Google YouTube-8M Video Classification Challenge 2017. We leveraged both video-level and frame-level features in the submission. For video-level classification, we simply used a 200-mixture Mixture of Experts...
Quantum optics did not, and could not, flourish without the laser. The present paper is not about the principles of laser construction, still less a history of how the laser was invented. Rather, it addresses the question: what are the fundamental fe...
Several methods have been proposed for processing a corpus to induce a tagset for the sub-language represented by the corpus. This paper examines a structured-tag word classification method introduced by McMahon (1994) and discussed further by McMa...
Spreading truths and blocking rumors are two typical strategies for inhibiting rumors. In practice, a tradeoff between the two strategies, which is known as the TSRB strategy, may achieve a better cost-effectiveness. This paper is devoted to assessin...
This paper proposes a model to learn word embeddings with weighted contexts based on part-of-speech (POS) relevance weights. POS is a fundamental element in natural language. However, state-of-the-art word embedding models fail to consider it. This p...
This paper solves the problem of herding countless evaders by means of a few robots. The objective is to steer all the evaders towards a desired tracking reference while avoiding escapes. The problem is very challenging due to the highly complex repu...
This paper brings an in detail Genetic Algorithm (GA) based combinatorial optimization method used for the optimal design of the water distribution network (WDN) of Gurudeniya Service Zone, Sri Lanka. Genetic Algorithm (GA) mimics the survival of the...
This paper presents two colloquial Sinhala language corpora from the language efforts of the Data, Analysis and Policy team of LIRNEasia, as well as a list of algorithmically derived stopwords. The larger of the two corpora spans 2010 to 2020 and con...
This paper proposes a new method of data handling as well as implementation of management system for an academic department. Management system is a proven framework for managing and continually improving the organizations policies, procedures and pro...
This paper presents a new symbolic corpus of musical themes from the complete Star Wars trilogies (Episodes I-IX) by John Williams. The corpus files are made available in multiple formats (.krn, .sib, and .musicxml) and include melodic, harmonic, and...
In this paper, we establish a condition on weighted graphs with finite measure that guarantees the validity of a global Poincaré inequality. This condition can be viewed as a discrete analogue of the criterion introduced by J. Boman in 1982 for Whit...
In this paper we derive the mass function of seed black holes that result from the central mass concentrated via disc accretion in collapsed haloes at redshift $z\approx 15$. Using standard arguments including stability, we show that these pre-gala...
This paper presents a brief account of some of the my early research interests. This historical account starts from my laurea thesis on Signal Theory and my master thesis on Computation Theory. It recalls some results in Combinatory Logic and Term Re...
For many years, I have been collecting math jokes and posting them on my website. I have more than 400 jokes there. In this paper, which is an extended version of my talk at the G4G15, I would like to present 66 of them....
The deaf-mute community have undeniable communication problems in their daily life. Recent developments in artificial intelligence tear down this communication barrier. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a methodology that simplified Sign Languag…

This paper introduces the problem of multiple object forecasting (MOF), in which the goal is to predict future bounding boxes of tracked objects. In contrast to existing works on object trajectory forecasting which primarily consider the problem from...
In recent years, natural language processing (NLP) has become increasingly important in a variety of business applications, including sentiment analysis, text classification, and named entity recognition. In this paper, we propose an approach for com...
The matter of the stability for multi-asset American option pricing problems is a present remaining challenge. In this paper a general transformation of variables allows to remove cross derivative terms reducing the stencil of the proposed numerical...
Because the asset value of a private company does not observable except in quarterly reports, the structural model has not been developed for a private company. For this reason, this paper attempt to develop the Merton's structural model for the priv...
