One-Class-At-A-Time Removal Sequence Planning Method For Multiclass Classification Problems, Chieh-Neng Young, Chen-Wen Yen, Yi-Hua Pao, Mark L. Nagurka
Mechanical Engineering Faculty Research and Publications
Using dynamic programming, this work develops a one-class-at-a-time removal sequence planning method to decompose a multiclass classification problem into a series of two-class problems. Compared with previous decomposition methods, the approach has the following distinct features. First, under the one-class-at-a-time framework, the approach guarantees the optimality of the decomposition. Second, for a K-class problem, the number of binary classifiers required by the method is only K-1. Third, to achieve higher classification accuracy, the approach can easily be adapted to form a committee machine. A drawback of the approach is that its computational burden increases rapidly with the number of classes. …
A Model For Anticipatory Event Detection, Qi He, Kuiyu Chang, Ee Peng Lim
A Model For Anticipatory Event Detection, Qi He, Kuiyu Chang, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Event detection is a very important area of research that discovers new events reported in a stream of text documents. Previous research in event detection has largely focused on finding the first story and tracking the events of a specific topic. A topic is simply a set of related events defined by user supplied keywords with no associated semantics and little domain knowledge. We therefore introduce the Anticipatory Event Detection (AED) problem: given some user preferred event transition in a topic, detect the occurence of the transition for the stream of news covering the topic. We confine the events to …

This edition of the College of Wooster's student run newspaper was published on September 29 of 2006, and it is eight pages long. Student groups are working to make sure all students are registered to vote by October 10 either in Ohio or in their home state. D.W. Griffith's 1915 classic "Birth of a Nation" was remixed by DJ Spooky to be a "Rebirth of a Nation" in McGaw. A new energy drink called 'Cocaine' will be being sold soon, but the college will not be selling it on campus. An article on page three calls for an increase in …

The Importance Of The Secret Ballot In Law Faculty Personnel Decisions: Promoting Candor And Collegiality In The Academy, Ira P. Robbins
The Importance Of The Secret Ballot In Law Faculty Personnel Decisions: Promoting Candor And Collegiality In The Academy, Ira P. Robbins
ExpressO
Law school faculty personnel decisions are often controversial. Debates may be heated, votes may be close, and ill will may be incurred. One way to avoid this enmity and to promote or maintain a collegial atmosphere is to vote by secret ballot on hiring, retention, promotion, and tenure questions. The use of secret ballots, however, allows for the possibility of voting for the wrong reasons (e.g., bias, discrimination). But open voting allows for the same possibility (e.g., political correctness, fear of reprisals).
This Article discusses the evolution and significance of the secret ballot and considers the arguments for and against …
Representative Government, Representative Court? The Supreme Court As A Representative Body, Angela Onwuachi-Willig
Representative Government, Representative Court? The Supreme Court As A Representative Body, Angela Onwuachi-Willig
Faculty Scholarship
In this Symposium Essay, I propose, as a thinking matter, that we expand the number of Supreme Court justices to increase the representation of various demographic groups on the Court. In Part I, I advance the argument that the Court should be regarded as a demographically representative body of the citizens of the United States, and in Part II, I argue that the Court should be enlarged to ensure diverse representation of all voices on the most powerful judicial body of our nation.
Tiebout Choice And The Voucher, Eric J. Brunner, Jennifer Imazeki
Tiebout Choice And The Voucher, Eric J. Brunner, Jennifer Imazeki
Economics Working Papers
This paper examines who is likely to gain and who is likely to lose under a universal voucher program. Following Epple and Romano (1998, 2003), and Nechyba (2000, 2003a), we focus on the idea that gains and losses under a universal voucher depend on two effects: changes in peer group composition and changes in housing values. We show that the direction and magnitude of each of these effects hinges critically on market structure, i.e., the amount of school choice that already exists in the public sector. In markets with little or no Tiebout choice, potential changes in peer group composition …

Orange Revolution In Red, White, And Blue: U.S. Impact On The 2004 Ukrainian Election , Natalie Prescott
Natalie Prescott
This article discusses the impact of the U.S. political efforts and the role of the U.S. judiciary in the 2004 Ukrainian election. The article provides an extensive background of Ukrainian election laws, the 2004 controversy, and the impact of U.S. landmark cases on the Ukrainian Supreme Court's decision. The author concludes that the United States played a major role in facilitating the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and that its influence is likely to continue in the future. This article was presented at Yale Journal of International Law Fourth Annual Young Scholars Conference on March 4, 2006.
Lexicographic Composition Of Simple Games, Bezalel Peleg
Lexicographic Composition Of Simple Games, Bezalel Peleg
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
A two-house legislature can often be modelled as a proper simple game whose outcome depends on whether a coalition wins, blocks or loses in two smaller proper simple games. It is shown that there are exactly five ways to combine the smaller games into a larger one. This paper focuses on one of the rules, lexicographic composition , where a coalition wins in G 1 => G 2 when it either wins in G 1 , or blocks in G 1 and wins in G 2 . It is the most decisive of the five. A lexicographically decomposable game is …

The Voting Rights Initiative ("VRI") at the University of Michigan Law School was created during the winter of 2005 to help inform [...] the debates that led to this latest congressional reauthorization and the legal challenge to it that is certain to follow. A cooperative research venture involving 100 students working under faculty direction set out to produce a detailed portrait of litigation brought since 1982 under Section 2. This Report evaluates the results of that survey. The comprehensive data set may be found in a searchable form at http://www.votingreport.org or http://www.sitemaker.umich.edu/votingrights.

Complying With The Help America Vote Act (Hava): Variations Among The States, Daniel Palazzolo, Sarah F. Liebschutz
Complying With The Help America Vote Act (Hava): Variations Among The States, Daniel Palazzolo, Sarah F. Liebschutz
Political Science Faculty Publications
Our focus is on both the causes for the variations in state compliance with HAVA and the consequences of HAVA requirements for election administration, with particular emphasis on the experiences of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania in implementing HAVA. We identify administrative, political, and policy-related reasons for variations in HAVA compliance in each state. We also consider the effects of HAVA on state and local government interactions, funding decisions, and policy innovation. We begin by reviewing HAVA compliance requirements, describing how states responded to those requirements, and comparing New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania with the national norms for …
Let Me Vote! An Experimental Study Of Vote Rotation In Committees, R Bosman, P Maier, V Sadiraj, F Winden
Let Me Vote! An Experimental Study Of Vote Rotation In Committees, R Bosman, P Maier, V Sadiraj, F Winden
ExCEN Working Papers
We conduct an experiment to investigate (i) whether rotation in voting increases a committee’s efficiency, and (ii) the extent to which rotation is likely to critically influence collective and individual welfare. The experiment is based on the idea that voters have to trade-off individual versus common interests. Our findings indicate that the choice of a rotation scheme has important consequences: it ‘pays’ to be allowed to vote, as voting committee members earn significantly more than non-voting members. Hence, rotation is not neutral. We also find that smaller committees decide faster and block fewer decisions. This reduces frustration among committee members.

The End Of Preclearance As We Knew It: How The Supreme Court Transformed Section 5 Of The Voting Rights Act, Peyton Mccrary, Christopher Seaman, Richard Valelly
The End Of Preclearance As We Knew It: How The Supreme Court Transformed Section 5 Of The Voting Rights Act, Peyton Mccrary, Christopher Seaman, Richard Valelly
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article’s analysis reveals that by the 1990s the intent, or purpose, prong of Section 5 had become the dominant basis for objections to discriminatory voting changes. During that decade an astonishing 43 percent of all objections were, according to this assessment, based on discriminatory purpose alone. Thus, a key issue for Congress in determining how to deal with the preclearance requirement of the Act due to expire in 2007-assuming it seeks to restore the protection of minority voting rights that existed before January 2000-is whether to revise the language of Section 5 so as to restore the long-accepted definition …

A Political Profession : Motivating Pre-Service Teachers To Participate In Our Democracy, Jennifer Cottle
A Political Profession : Motivating Pre-Service Teachers To Participate In Our Democracy, Jennifer Cottle
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
This mixed-method study looks at the voting motivations and behaviors of sixty-two pre-service teachers. Responses from frequent, infrequent and nonvoting teachers were compared, to gain an understanding of how to impact the viewpoints and behaviors of nonvoting or infrequent voting pre-service teachers. The data revealed significant differences between the voting frequency groups in two variables. Results will be shared with Student California Teachers Association and California Teachers Association.
The Cul De Sac Of Race Preference Discourse, Christopher A. Bracey
The Cul De Sac Of Race Preference Discourse, Christopher A. Bracey
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Affirmative action policy remains a contentious issue in public debate despite public endorsement by America’s leading institutions and validation by the United States Supreme Court. But the decades old disagreement is mired in an unproductive rhetorical stalemate marked by entrenched ideology rather than healthy dialogue. Instead of evolving, racial dialogue about the relevance of race in university admissions and hiring decisions is trapped in a cycle of resentment.
In this article, I argue that the stagnation of race preference discourse arises because the basic rhetorical themes advanced by opponents have evolved little over 150 years since the racial reform efforts …
The Fundamental Rights Of The Shareholder, Julian Velasco
The Fundamental Rights Of The Shareholder, Julian Velasco
Journal Articles
Shareholders have many legal rights, but they are not all of equal significance. This article will argue that two rights — the right to elect directors and the right to sell shares — are more important than any others, that these rights should be considered the fundamental rights of the shareholder, and that, as such, they deserve a great deal of respect and protection by law.
The history of corporate law has been one of increasing flexibility for directors and decreasing rights for shareholders. Although the law seems to have coalesced around the norm of shareholder primacy, this is not …
Democracy, Race, And Multiculturalism In The Twenty-First Century: Will The Voting Rights Act Ever Be Obsolete?, Sheryll Cashin
Democracy, Race, And Multiculturalism In The Twenty-First Century: Will The Voting Rights Act Ever Be Obsolete?, Sheryll Cashin
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Part I of this essay begins one hundred years before the passage of the Act, with Reconstruction. I briefly canvas the interracial alliances of the Reconstruction and Redemption periods, underscoring that American democracy has been most responsive to the masses, including working class whites, when interracial alliances between whites and blacks commanded majority power. I then recount how a politics of white supremacy animated and perpetuated racial schisms between blacks and whites for a century in the South. Part II describes how the Act came to be passed, emphasizing the role of protest and coalition politics in its enactment, and …

Grados De Libertad: Democracia Y Antidemocracia En Cuby Y Luisiana, 1898-1900, Rebecca J. Scott
Articles
This comparative study between the quest for political racial inclusivity in 1890s Louisiana and the fight against state-sanctioned racialized violence in Cuba in the early 1900s exposes similarities, tensions, and differences between the two systems. The article traces the evolving contests for citizenship and suffrage in each climate at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the twentieth, juxtaposing the expression of race, suffrage, and citizenship in the constitution and political climate of each locale. In 1898, the new Louisiana state constitution disenfranchised African-Americans, while in 1900 Cuba was positioning itself for a grant of universal …
