We introduce Thurstonian Boltzmann Machines (TBM), a unified architecture that can naturally incorporate a wide range of data inputs at the same time. Our motivation rests in the Thurstonian view that many discrete data types can be considered as being generated from a subset of underlying latent continuous variables, …
Speech Acts (SAs) are one of the important areas of pragmatics, which give us a better understanding of the state of mind of the people and convey an intended language function. Knowledge of the SA of a text can be helpful in analyzing that text in natural language processing applications. This study presents a diction…
Algorithmic fairness is a field of study that addresses the systematic disadvantage of marginalized groups in machine learning systems.
Social media enhances or diminishes scientific status, depending on usage.
Finding "densely connected clusters" in a graph is in general an important and well studied problem in the literature \cite{Schaeffer}. It has various applications in pattern recognition, social networking and data mining \cite{Duda,Mishra}. Recently, Ames and Vavasis have suggested a novel method for finding cliques i…
