Using String Kernels to Identify Famous Performers from their Playing Style
No full textIn this paper we show a novel application of string kernels: that is to the problem of recognising famous pianists from their style of playing. The characteristics of performers playing the same piece are obtained from changes in beat-level tempo and beat-level loudness, which over the time of the piece form a performance worm. From such worms, general performance alphabets can be derived, and pianists’ performances can then be represented as strings. We show that when using the string kernel on this data, both kernel partial least squares and Support Vector Machines outperform the current best results. Furthermore we suggest a new method of obtaining feature directions from the Kernel Partial Least Squares algorithm and show that this can deliver better performance than methods previously used in the literature when used in conjunction with a Support Vector Machine

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

Abstract
We currently face a myriad of grand global challenges in fields such as poverty, the environment, education, science, and medicine. However, our current means of dealing with such challenges has fallen short, and ingenious solutions are required to overcome the inherent resistance to progress toward ameliorating such difficulties. Here, we highlight the promises and challenges of international collaboration in achieving success toward these trials. We note prior successes in fields such as education, medicine, science, and environmental issues made to date, yet at the same time we do note deficiencies and shortcomings in these efforts. Hence, the notion of international collaboration should be strengthened and encouraged by governments, non-profit organizations, and others moving forward using creative means to bring talented teams together to tackle these challenges across the globe
Counting Lattice Points and O-Minimal Structures
No full textLet Λ be a lattice in Rn, and let Z ⊆Rm+n be a definable family in an O-minimal structure over R. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers ZT = {x∈ Rn: (T, x) ∈ Z}. Along the way, we show that for any subspace Σ ⊆Rn of dimension j> 0 the j-volume of the orthogonal projection of ZT to Σ is, up to a constant depending only on the family Z, bounded by the maximal j-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projections to the j-dimensional coordinate subspaces
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
