Analysis of English free association network reveals mechanisms of efficient solution of Remote Association Tests
Plos One. 2021. Vol. 16. No. 4. P. 1–15.
We study correlations between the structure and properties of a free association network of the English language, and solutions of psycholinguistic Remote Association Tests (RATs). We show that average hardness of individual RATs is largely determined by relative positions of test words (stimuli and response) on the free association network. We argue that the solution of RATs can be interpreted as a first passage search problem on a network whose vertices are words and links are associations between words. We propose different heuristic search algorithms and demonstrate that in “easily-solving” RATs (those that are solved in 15 seconds by more than 64% subjects) the solution is governed by “strong” network links (i.e. strong associations) directly connecting stimuli and response, and thus the efficient strategy consist in activating such strong links. In turn, the most efficient mechanism of solving medium and hard RATs consists of preferentially following sequence of “moderately weak” associations.

This systematic review presents an analysis of the "Vibe Coding" methodology — a contemporary approach to the iterative software development process using Large Language Models (LLMs). Code generation tools are transforming software development by enabling programmers to formulate tasks and describe the desired behavior of software in natural language, while LLMs generate source code corresponding ...

Open access to images creates opportunities for violation of the authors' rights. Digital watermarks can be used to securely publish images online. They are invisibly added into the images before publication and can be extracted at any time to verify ownership. However, achieving a balance between embedding imperceptibility and robustness to image processing operations is ...

Electronic health records (EHRs) contain vast volumes of clinical information that encode complex relationships between diseases. Traditional approaches to the analysis of interrelated or co-occurring diseases have focused on pairwise associations between diagnoses, missing the higher-order structures that characterise multimorbid patients. The present paper offers a narrative review of existing statistical, machine-learning, and artificial intelligence ...

Psychological characteristic estimation from multimodal in-the-wild behavior is usually studied using separate corpora, each annotated for a single target task. Such annotation fragmentation limits cross-task learning and cross-domain generalization across affective, dispositional, and interactional phenomena. To address this problem, we use emotion, apparent personality trait, and ambivalence recognition as representative tasks and introduce MM-PSYCHE, a ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Identification of coherent states of spiking neural networks is a fundamental problem of
synchronization theory but conventional methods are computationally expensive. We apply
the crystallographic ideas of processing periodic structures to the analysis of various
states of spiking neuronal networks. In particular, the introduced approach is based on
the application of two-dimensional Fourier transform to rasterplots. By the position ...

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

In many quantum applications it is important to know whether or not a Bell nonlocal two-qudit state exhibits its nonlocality under correlation scenarios with some given numbers S1,S2≥1 of generalized quantum measurements at two sites. In the present article, we find analytically a new general locality condition sufficient for a nonseparable Werner state with a ...

Chow polylogarithms are some special functions arising in explicit description of the Beilinson regulator map. The most interesting functional equation for this function reflects its vanishing on the boundary in the Bloch's cycle complex. We show that this functional equation formally follows from more simple ones, namely skew-symmetry, functoriality and multiplicativity.
To prove this, we study ...

This paper investigates the problem of statistical inference for a mixture distribution consisting of a discrete and a continuous component, with a particular focus on the class of rational-infinitely divisible distributions. We consider non-parametric estimation of both components of the mixture as well as the quasi-L{é}vy measure, assuming that the mixture belongs to the class ...

In this paper, we construct strong approximations for discrete-time Markov chains weakly converging to continuous diffusion processes, as well as for their perturbed counterparts. Under the assumption of bounded coefficients, we construct closely coupled versions of these processes on a shared probability space. In particular, for both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, we maximize the probability ...

A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$, on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...
