Second language phonology at the interface between acoustic and orthographic input
Get PDFRecently researchers have become increasingly interested in the influence of orthographic forms on second language (L2) phonology. Orthographic forms (or spellings) represent the sounds and words of a language in writing. L2 learners, in particular those in instructed settings, are simultaneously exposed to the orthographic forms and the phonological forms of the target language. Recent investigations have indicated that orthographic input can affect learners’ phonological development and word learning in their second language in various ways. The availability of L2 orthographic forms in the input to L2 learners can facilitate speech production, perception, and/or word form learning (Escudero, Hayes-Harb, & Mitterer, 2008; Showalter & Hayes-Harb, 2013). It can hinder targetlike acquisition (Bassetti, 2007; Hayes-Harb, Nicol, & Barker, 2010), or it can have mixed effects or no effect at all (Escudero & Wanrooij, 2010; Simon, Chamblessb, & Alvesc, 2010)

In the memory of Talaat Harb Pacha
No full textReviving the memory of Talaat Harb Pacha, Mahmoud Nabil Ibrahim, great-grandson of Talaat Harb, and Abdelaziz Ezz El Arab, professor at AUC, talk about how Talaat Harb dressed. Additionally, they highlight the occasion in which Talaat Harb attained the title Pacha, his achievements, and finally his career and personal challenges. This is a story about Talaat Harb Pacha the founder of Banque Misr and famous Egyptian economist, but what’s also interesting is that he’s a very distant relative from my mother\u27s side
Convergence to Lexicographically Optimal Base in a (Contra)Polymatroid and Applications to Densest Subgraph and Tree Packing
Get PDFBoob et al. [Boob et al., 2020] described an iterative peeling algorithm called Greedy++ for the Densest Subgraph Problem (DSG) and conjectured that it converges to an optimum solution. Chekuri, Qaunrud and Torres [Chandra Chekuri et al., 2022] extended the algorithm to supermodular density problems (of which DSG is a special case) and proved that the resulting algorithm Super-Greedy++ (and hence also Greedy++) converges. In this paper we revisit the convergence proof and provide a different perspective. This is done via a connection to Fujishige’s quadratic program for finding a lexicographically optimal base in a (contra) polymatroid [Satoru Fujishige, 1980], and a noisy version of the Frank-Wolfe method from convex optimization [Frank and Wolfe, 1956; Jaggi, 2013]. This yields a simpler convergence proof, and also shows a stronger property that Super-Greedy++ converges to the optimal dense decomposition vector, answering a question raised in Harb et al. [Harb et al., 2022]. A second contribution of the paper is to understand Thorup’s work on ideal tree packing and greedy tree packing [Thorup, 2007; Thorup, 2008] via the Frank-Wolfe algorithm applied to find a lexicographically optimum base in the graphic matroid. This yields a simpler and transparent proof. The two results appear disparate but are unified via Fujishige’s result and convex optimization

Portrait of George Harb and poem, 1956
No full textThis is a digital reproduction of an image held in the private collection of George Harb. The photograph mounted on card depicts George Harb posing among trees and is accompanied by a poem written by Elias Giacaman (George Harb’s brother-in-law). The poem reads:
"Bethlehem 23rd April 1956.
If the days grow dark, if care and pain,
Press closer and sharp, on heart, and brain,
Then lovely pictures, still shall bloom,
Upon the walls, of memories room." This image is part of the George Harb Photos collection, within the George Harb project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.</div
