Generative linguistics

Generative metrics

Generative metrics is the collective term for three distinct theories of verse structure (focusing on the English iambic pentameter) advanced between 1966 and 1977. Inspired largely by the example of Noam Chomsky's Syntactic Structures (1957) and Chomsky and Morris Halle's The Sound Pattern of English (1968), these theories aim principally at the formulation of explicit linguistic rules that will generate all possible well-formed instances of a given meter (e.g. iambic pentameter) and exclude any that are not well-formed. T.V.F. Brogan notes that of the three theories, "[a]ll three have undergone major revision, so that each exists in two versions, the revised version being preferable to the original in every case." (Wikipedia).

Using Dimensional Analysis to Find the Units of a Constant

This video shows you how to use dimensional analysis to find the units for constants in physics and chemistry equations. For example, why are the units for the gravitational constant (G) newtons, meters squared over kilograms squared. Dimensional analysis in physics is an important tool t

VARIABLES in Statistical Research (2-1)

A variable is any characteristic that can vary. An organized collection of numbers can be a variable. Qualitative variables indicate an attribute or belongingness to a category. Dichotomous variables are discrete variables that can have two and only two values. Quantitative variables indic

There are tools of multivariate statistics with natural counterparts in geometry. We examine these connections and outline the amount of research that has been conducted in parallel in the two fields. Advances from geometry allow us to approach problems in multivariate statistics that were

Set Distribution Networks: a Generative Model for Sets of Images (Paper Explained)

We've become very good at making generative models for images and classes of images, but not yet of sets of images, especially when the number of sets is unknown and can contain sets that have never been encountered during training. This paper builds a probabilistic framework and a practic

David Meyer (1/30/18): Some algebraic stability theorems for generalized persistence modules

From an algebraic point of view, generalized persistence modules can be interpreted as finitely-generated modules for a poset algebra. We prove an algebraic analogue of the isometry theorem of Bauer and Lesnick for a large class of posets. This theorem shows that for such posets, the int
