On the Convergence of Tsetlin Machines for the IDENTITY- and NOT Operators
2020
The Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a recent machine learning algorithm with several distinct properties, such as interpretability, simplicity, and hardware-friendliness. Although numerous empirical evaluations report on its performance, the mathematical analysis of its convergence is still open. In this article, we analyze the convergence of the TM with only one clause involved for classification. More specifically, we examine two basic logical operators, namely, the "IDENTITY"- and "NOT" operators. Our analysis reveals that the TM, with just one clause, can converge correctly to the intended logical operator, learning from training data over an infinite time horizon. Besides, it can capture arbit…
Towards a Trustful Digital World : Exploring Self-Sovereign Identity Ecosystems
2021
In the current global situation-burdened by, among others, a vast number of people without formal identification, digital leap, the need for health passports and contact tracking applications-providing private and secure digital identity for individuals, organizations and other entities is crucial. The emerging self-sovereign identity (SSI) solutions rely on distributed ledger technologies and verifiable credentials and have the potential to enable trustful digital interactions. In this human-centric paradigm, trust among actors can be established in a decentralized manner while the identity holders are able to own and control their confidential data. In this paper, we build on observations…
A study on the degree of relationship between two individuals.
2000
The paper studies the likely degree of relationship between two individuals who could possibly be half sibs. The possible common ancestor was dead, which further complicated the problem. The model used was devised by Thompson [in Rao and Chakraborty (eds): Handbook of Statistics, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1991] and establishes a correspondence between the possible degree of relationship and certain feasible probability distributions on the number of identical by descent genes. Two statistical approaches are considered: the classical one, in which the maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of Thompson’s model are obtained, and the Bayesian one, in which the test of the hypothesis o…
Family business branding : communicating a family-based brand identity
2017
Scholars suggest that family-owned businesses can capitalize on their family ties by promoting the fact that they are family-owned in their marketing communications. Existing research suggests that promoting the familial component of a family-owned business can evoke positive associations with the business' stakeholders, increase employee loyalty and motivation, and be a source of competitive advantage against non-family businesses. Although there is an increasing awareness that family-owned businesses can benefit from promoting the fact that they are family-owned in their marketing and branding efforts, very little literature exists on how such a strategy is effectively implemented. By app…
Beziehungserfahrungen in der Adoleszenz: Welchen Stellenwert haben sie zur Vorhersage von romantischen Beziehungen im jungen Erwachsenenalter?
2001
Zusammenfassung. In einer 6-jährigen Längsschnittstudie wurden frühe Einflüsse auf romantische Beziehungen bei jungen Erwachsenen untersucht. 72 Jugendliche nahmen im Alter von 14, 15 und 17 Jahren an jährlichen Untersuchungen teil, bei denen die Beziehungen zu ihren Eltern und engen Freunden durch das Network of Relationship Inventory (NRI) erfasst wurden. Außerdem wurde der Entwicklungsverlauf, bezogen auf eine eigenständige Identität und ein reifes Körperkonzept, erhoben. Beim Übergang zum Erwachsenenalter, im Alter von 20 Jahren, wurde die Stichprobe erneut untersucht, und zwar im Hinblick auf die Qualität ihrer derzeitigen romantischen Beziehungen, die durch die Love Experience Scales…
Misconceptions and Ambiguities in VET: Do We Speak the Same Language?
2021
This chapter reviews some of the most extended notions used in the field of VET. Historical and comparative analysis of education run the risk to use commonplaces without proper understanding of the nuances, difficult to translate but which give different meaning to the same words. In particular, I explain these notions and their meaning and context to show the contrast among countries with different VET traditions. The main challenge is probably to consider current and historical differences between a school-based vocational education system and those where apprenticeships have been the mainstream. Academic work needs to be accurate and avoid quick and careless translation, and even manipu…
“I due volti di Eva”. L’educazione al femminile nella filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta.
2018
Attraverso lo studio della filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta, è possibile ricostruire le identità di genere che, in un tempo così attraversato da profonde trasformazioni, si andavano ridefinendo. Infatti, in questo periodo nasceva e si sviluppava il cinema di massa, che diventava il principale terreno di azione culturale: strumento di costruzione dell’identità collettiva ed esperienza condivisa che creava legami, esso era soprattutto uno spazio educativo. In particolare, il cinema registrava il profondo mutamento in corso dell’identità femminile e del rapporto tra i generi, a volte ostacolandolo, altre volte anticipandolo o favorendolo. I due generi cinematografici più popolari di q…
Il pranzo di Babele. Misunderstanding nel film "Il pranzo di Babette"
2013
“Il pranzo di Babette” (1987), trasposizione cinematografica del regista danese Gabriel Axel dell’omonimo racconto di Karen Blixen, inizialmente contenuto nella raccolta di scritti “Anectodes of Destiny” pubblicato a firma Isak Dinensen (pseudonimo della sua autrice) ha riscosso un unanime consenso di critica e pubblico, vincendo prestigiosi premi quali l’Oscar come miglior film straniero e la menzione speciale della giuria ecumenica del festival di Cannes, sbancando i botteghini in giro per il mondo. Il film è diventato un grande classico del cinema culinario, in grado di radicarsi nel senso comune e diventare pertanto fonte di ispirazione per letterati e cinefili che ne hanno analizzato …
The Effect of Incongruence Between CEO and Corporate Brand Personality on Financial Analysts’ Attitudes and Assessment of a Company’s Performance
2014
This research assesses the role of two types of nonfinancial information in investor relations: The personality of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the personality of the corporate brand. As both personalities determine the identity of a company and the relationship with its stakeholders, we investigate their relevance and the effect of incongruence between these two personalities on financial analysts. Eleven semistructured interviews were conducted to answer the theoretically derived research questions. Empirical findings show that both personalities are relevant to analysts and that perceived incongruence between these personalities can cause adverse effects. Company size, stage of …
Almost polynomial growth: Classifying varieties of graded algebras
2015
Let G be a finite group, V a variety of associative G-graded algebras and c (V), n = 1, 2, …, its sequence of graded codimensions. It was recently shown by Valenti that such a sequence is polynomially bounded if and only if V does not contain a finite list of G-graded algebras. The list consists of group algebras of groups of order a prime number, the infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra and the algebra of 2 × 2 upper triangular matrices with suitable gradings. Such algebras generate the only varieties of G-graded algebras of almost polynomial growth, i.e., varieties of exponential growth such that any proper subvariety is polynomially bounded. In this paper we completely classify all sub…
