David J. Schmidly, Ph.D. Inauguration And Installation Ceremony, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sunday, October 7, 2007, David Schmidly

President Schmidly's Administration

President Koch and Members of the Board of Regents, Members of the Faculty and Staff, students, alumni and honored guests: Thank you all for coming here today, to share my joy, and Janets, and that of our family on this very special day. Like so many, over many generations -- like many of you — Janet and I chose New Mexico. It's a place we know well, one that I studied, whose biodiversity has fascinated me and helped propel my academic and scientific pursuits.

A Data-Dependent Distance Measure For Transductive Instance-Based Learning, Jared Lundell, Dan A. Ventura Oct 2007

A Data-Dependent Distance Measure For Transductive Instance-Based Learning, Jared Lundell, Dan A. Ventura

Faculty Publications

We consider learning in a transductive setting using instance-based learning (k-NN) and present a method for constructing a data-dependent distance “metric” using both labeled training data as well as available unlabeled data (that is to be classified by the model). This new data-driven measure of distance is empirically studied in the context of various instance-based models and is shown to reduce error (compared to traditional models) under certain learning conditions. Generalizations and improvements are suggested.


Adtrees For Sequential Data And N-Gram Counting, Robert Van Dam, Dan A. Ventura Oct 2007

Adtrees For Sequential Data And N-Gram Counting, Robert Van Dam, Dan A. Ventura

Faculty Publications

We consider the problem of efficiently storing n-gram counts for large n over very large corpora. In such cases, the efficient storage of sufficient statistics can have a dramatic impact on system performance. One popular model for storing such data derived from tabular data sets with many attributes is the ADtree. Here, we adapt the ADtree to benefit from the sequential structure of corpora-type data. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach on a portion of the well-known Wall Street Journal corpus from the Penn Treebank and show that our approach is exponentially more efficient than the naïve approach to …

Coping With Unreliable Water Supplies And Willingness To Pay For Improved Water Supplies In Kathmandu, Nepal, Hari Katuwal, Alok Bohara Oct 2007

Coping With Unreliable Water Supplies And Willingness To Pay For Improved Water Supplies In Kathmandu, Nepal, Hari Katuwal, Alok Bohara

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Adequacy and quality are crucial for household water supply. One of the major problems with public utilities such as drinking water in developing countries is intermittent, insufficient and unreliable supply. Nepal is no exception to this. Water is not supplied round the clock, pressure is insufficient to pump it to the tap and the amount of water made available to the public, whatsoever, is not directly potable. To combat these problems, households engage in a variety of coping behaviors. Some of the major strategies for coping with intermittent and unreliable water supply are collecting, pumping, storing, treating and purchasing. This …

Community Based Integrated Natural Resource Management: Policy Options And Areas Of Intervention, Sabita Thapa, John Soussan, Dhruba Pant, Umesh Nath Parajuli, Khem Raj Sharma, Binod Bhatta

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The paper takes in stock of research results from a project on integrated water and forest management in a micro-basin of Gandaki River System in Nepal. The paper demonstrates that while the results on the ground has been laudable, much more efforts are needed to consolidate the gains and to seize the window of opportunity provided by the strongly and rapidly evolving community-based natural resource management institutions in the country that can contribute to positive policy reform, build synergy and enhance the capacities of local institutions communities to pursue integrated resource management for unleashing the countrys potentials to fulfill and …


The Effect Of Remittances On Child Labor And Child Education In Nepal, Michael Milligan, Alok Bohara Oct 2007

The Effect Of Remittances On Child Labor And Child Education In Nepal, Michael Milligan, Alok Bohara

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Remittances from international sources form an important part of the typical Nepalese households income. We analyze the effects of household international remittance and non-remittance income on educational achievement and the amount of child labor using Heckman's two-step analysis. For the analysis of educational achievement, the ratio of years of schooling to age is the independent regression variable, and a dummy variable representing whether or not the child has attended school at all is used as the select variable. For the analysis of child labor, the number off hours spent working in the labor force is the regression independent variable and …
