We describe a method of encoding various types of link diagrams, including those with classical, flat, rigid, welded, and virtual crossings. We show that this method may be used to encode link diagrams, up to equivalence, in a notation whose length is a cubic function of the number of 'riser marks'. For classical knots…

We calculate the Chern-Simons invariants of the hyperbolic orbifolds of the knot with Conway's notation C(2n,3)C(2n, 3) using the Schläfli formula for the generalized Chern-Simons function on the family of C(2n,3)C(2n,3) cone-manifold structures. We present the concrete and explicit formula of them. We apply the general instruct…

We introduce a matrix representation of a chord on a tangle which leads us to representing tangle chord diagrams as stacks of matrices that we call books. We show that band sum moves, Reidemeister moves as well as orientation changes are implemented on \widetilde{Z}_f - a framed link invariant constructed from the Kont…

In this paper, we present a new comparative study on automatic essay scoring (AES). The current state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) neural network architectures are used in this work to achieve above human-level accuracy on the publicly available Kaggle AES dataset. We compare two powerful language model…

Probabilistic models can handle causal inference without special tools.

method Demonstrated through concrete examples that causal questions can be answered using standard probabilistic models.
result Causal questions can be addressed using standard probabilistic modelling and inference.

Penrose's two-spinor notation for 44-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds can be extended to two-component notation for quaternionic manifolds, which is a very useful tool for calculation. We construct a family of quaternionic complexes over unimodular quaternionic manifolds by elementary calculation. On complex quaternio…

In this paper, we define a new special curve in Euclidean 3-space which we call {\it kk-slant helix} and introduce some characterizations for this curve. This notation is generalization of a general helix and slant helix. Furthermore, we have given some necessary and sufficient conditions for the kk-slant helix.

We give explicit formulae for the volumes of hyperbolic cone-manifolds of double twist knots, a class of two-bridge knots which includes twist knots and two-bridge knots with Conway notation C(2n,3)C(2n,3). We also study the Riley polynomial of a class of one-relator groups which includes two-bridge knot groups.

Implicit deep learning prediction rules generalize the recursive rules of feedforward neural networks. Such rules are based on the solution of a fixed-point equation involving a single vector of hidden features, which is thus only implicitly defined. The implicit framework greatly simplifies the notation of deep learni…

In this paper, we discuss the region unknotting number of different classes of 2-bridge knots. In particular, we provide region unknotting number for the classes of 22-bridge knots whose Conway notation is C(m, n),C(m, 2, m),C(m,\ n), C(m,\ 2,\ m), C(m, 2, m±1) C(m,\ 2,\ m\pm1) and C(2, m, 2, n)C(2,\ m,\ 2,\ n). By generalizing, we also provide a sharp up…

For certain problems involving vector fields, it is possible to find an associated imaginary field that, in conjunction with the first, forms a complex field for which the equation can be solved. This result is generalized to arbitrary Clifford algebras, followed by quaternionic vectors as a special case. All results a…

This paper proposes the use of an optimization algorithm, namely PSO to decide the initial centroids in K-means, to eventually get better accuracy. The vectorized notation of the optimal centroids can be thought of as entities in an optimization space, where the accuracy of K-means over a random subset of the data coul…

The possible existence of a complex structure on the 6-sphere has been a famous unsolved problem for over 60 years. In that time many "solutions" have been put forward, in both directions. Mistakes have always been found. In this paper I present a short proof of the non-existence, based on ideas developed, but not full…

It is known that there are 21 ribbon knots with 10 crossings or fewer. We show that for every ribbon knot, there exists a tangle that satisfies two properties associated with the knot. First, under a specific closure, the closed tangle is equivalent to its corresponding knot. Second, under a different closure, the clos…
