We show that the set Bn of balanced parenthesis strings with n left and n right parentheses can be generated by prefix shifts. If b1, b2, . . . , b2n is a member of Bn, then the k...
Redundancy analysis (RA) is a versatile technique used to predict multivariate criterion variables from multivariate predictor variables. The reduced-rank feature of RA captures r...
Quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with a Hamming distance matrix for a hypercube or a Manhattan distance matrix for a rectangular grid arise frequently from communications and ...
We present a novel model to represent and assess the discourse coherence of text. Our model assumes that coherent text implicitly favors certain types of discourse relation transi...
