A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Bacterial meningitis and brain abscess
No full textBacterial meningitis and brain abscess continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality in children and adults. This article reviews recent changes in the epidemiology caused by new immunisations; the clinical manifestations at different ages; advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology; and current treatment strategies including the use of adjunctive therapies such as corticosteroids
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Correlation problems in evolutionary stochastic processess
No full textIn a previous contribution to these Proceedings (Ramakrishnan(1)) the concept of product density was introduced to describe the statistical distribution of a discrete number of particles in a continuous space E, corresponding to a single point t, where t is the parameter with respect to which the stochastic process evolves. This is extended to densities corresponding to n points on the t axis and correlation problems associated with these density functions are studied with particular reference to electron-photon cascades
The Bloch-Wigner-Ramakrishnan polylogarithm function
No full textThe dilogarithm function Li\\sb 2(z)=\\sum\\sp∞\\sbn=1z\\sp n/n\\sp 2 (\\vert z\\vert lt;1) has many beautiful properties and plays a role in connection with problems in many parts of mathematics, most recently K-theory. This function cannot be extended in a one-valued way to the entire complex plane, but the modified function D(z)=\\cal I(Li\\sb 2(z)+\\log (1-z)\\log \\vert z\\vert) introduced by D. Wigner and S. Bloch can be extended as a continuous real-valued function on \\Bbb C which is real-analytic except at 0 and 1. For the higher polylogarithm functions Li\\sb m(z)=\\sum\\sp∞\\sbn=1z\\sp n/n\\sp m a similar one-valued modification D\\sb m(z) was defined in principle, but not written down in closed form or studied in detail, by D. Ramakrishnan. \\par In the present paper the function D\\sb m(z) is given explicitly and some of its properties are studied. It turns out that values of certain Kronecker double series related to special values of Hecke L-series for imaginary quadratic fields can be given in terms of the functions D\\sb m(z) (generalizing a result of S. Bloch involving D\\sb 2=D) and that the function D\\sb m is related to a certain Green's function for the quotient of the upper half-plane by the group of translations τ \\mapsto τ +n, n\\in \\Bbb Z. Most interestingly, a conjecture is presented according to which the value of the Dedekind zeta-function ζ\\sb F(s) as s=m for an arbitrary number field F and integer mgt;1 can be expressed in closed form in terms of finitely many values of D\\sb m(z) at arguments z\\in F
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
