If this is the case, then hell will be shut down, and The Misadventures of the New Satan human race written off as an unfortunate mistake. Satan is given the chance to prove that human beings are capable of salvation - thus ensuring the survival of hell - if he agrees to live as a human being and demonstrate that it is possible to live a righteous life. St Peter suggests that life as a farmer might offer Satan the best chance of success, because of the catalogue of privations he will be forced to endure.

The Misadventures of the New Satan is the last novel by Estonia's greatest twentieth-century writer, Anton Tammsaareand it constitutes a fitting summation of the themes that occupied him throughout his writing: the search for truth and social justice, and the struggle against corruption and greed.

Tammsaare's studies were interrupted by tuberculosis in Inwhen Estonia became independentTammsaare moved to Tallinn. It was here that Tammsaare wrote those prose works, based on the history and lives of the Estonian people, which have gained him a prominent place in Estonian literature. Tammsaare was interested in philosophy and psychology. His novels reflect the ideas of BergsonJung and Freud. He was, however, skeptical about cosmopolitanism.

  • Crimea After the Georgian Crisis
    Crimea after the Georgian Crisis Crimea After the Georgian Crisis Following the Georgian Crisis, there was frequent speculation in the international media Crimea theCrisis Georgian after about the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea as the next likely target of Russian military intervention. Logic suggests that Crimea, the only region in Ukraine with an ethnic Russian JAKOB HEDENSKOG majority, with its historical links to Russia and contested affiliation to Ukraine, and with its Hero City Sevastopol (the base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet), would be an easy target for the Kremlin’s neo-imperialist policy. This report aims to compare the situation around Crimea with that regarding South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which led to the Georgian Crisis. The main objective is to identify similarities and differences concerning both the situation on the ground and Russia’s policy towards the regions, in order to determine whether a military scenario for Crimea is impossible, Jakob Hedenskog possible or even likely.

  • Improving the Openstreetmap Data Set Using Deep Learning
    Improving the OpenStreetMap Data Set using Deep Learning Hampus Londögård Hannah Lindblad [email protected] [email protected] June 19, 2018 Master’s thesis work carried out at ÅF Digital Solutions. Supervisors: Pierre Nugues, [email protected] Thomas Hermansson, [email protected] Examiner: Jacek Malec, [email protected] Abstract OpenStreetMap is an open source of geographical data where contributors can change, add, or remove data. Since anyone can contribute, the data set is prone to contain data of varying quality. In this work, we focus on three approaches for correcting Way component name tags in the data set: Correct- ing misspellings, flagging anomalies, and generating suggestions for missing names. Today, spell correction systems have achieved a high correction accuracy. However, the use of a language context is an important factor to the success of these systems. We present a way for performing spell correction without context through the use of a deep neural network. The structure of the network also makes it possible to adapt it to a different language by changing the training resources. The implementation achieves an F1 score of 0.86 (ACR 0.69) for Way names in Denmark. Keywords: MSc, Machine Learning, OpenStreetMap, Random Forest, Neural Net- work, Sequence-2-Sequence 2 Acknowledgements We would like to thank Pierre Nugues for the feedback he has given us on this thesis. We would also like to thank Marcus Klang for his invaluable input on neural networks and Daniel Palmqvist for his feedback and knowledge of algorithms and geographical in- formation systems.

  • The Holocaust in Ukraine: New Sources and Perspectives
    THE CENTER FOR ADVANCED HOLOCAUST STUDIES of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum promotes the growth of the field of Holocaust studies, including the dissemination of scholarly output in the field. It also strives to facilitate the training of future generations of scholars specializing in the Holocaust. Under the guidance of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, the Center provides a fertile atmosphere for scholarly discourse and debate through research and publication projects, conferences, fellowship and visiting scholar opportunities, and a network of cooperative programs with universities and other institutions in the United States and abroad. In furtherance of this program the Center has established a series of working and occasional papers prepared by scholars in history, political science, philosophy, religion, sociology, literature, psychology, and other disciplines. Selected from Center-sponsored lectures and conferences, THE HOLOCAUST or the result of other activities related to the Center’s mission, these publications are designed to make this research available in a timely IN UKRAINE fashion to other researchers and to the general public.

  • Uralic Language Identification
    Uralic Language Identification (ULI) 2020 shared task dataset and the Wanca 2017 corpora Tommi Jauhiainen Heidi Jauhiainen Department of Digital Humanities Department of Digital Humanities University of Helsinki University of Helsinki [email protected] [email protected] Niko Partanen Krister Linden´ Department of Finnish, Finno-Ugrian Department of Digital Humanities and Scandinavian Studies University of Helsinki University of Helsinki [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This article introduces the Wanca 2017 web corpora from which the sentences written in minor Uralic languages were collected for the test set of the Uralic Language Identification (ULI) 2020 shared task. We describe the ULI shared task and how the test set was constructed using the Wanca 2017 corpora and texts in different languages from the Leipzig corpora collection. We also provide the results of a baseline language identification experiment conducted using the ULI 2020 dataset. 1 Introduction As part of the Finno-Ugric Languages and the Internet project, (SUKI)1 we have collected textual mate- rial for some of the more endangered Uralic languages from the Internet (Jauhiainen et al., 2015a). In this paper, we introduce the Wanca 2017 corpora which will be published in the Language Bank of Finland2 as a downloadable package as well as through the Korp3 concordance service. The Uralic Language Identification (ULI) 2020 shared task4 was organized as part of the VarDial 2020 Evaluation campaign.5 In order to create a training dataset for the shared task, we used the earlier version of the corpora, Wanca 20166 (Jauhiainen et al., 2019a), together with corpora available from the Leipzig corpora collection7 (Goldhahn et al., 2012).

Models’ predictions for words and concepts similarity is usually compared against human predictions. To make such comparisons between models’ similarity estimates and human scores, a proper human annotated data set had to be created for the Estonian language. The SimLex-999 data set was chosen for translation into Estonian. This resource is used to test three families of computational models of similarity: distributional models, semantic networks and computer vision models. The results of this thesis can be used to evaluate future similarity models.

Mudelite hinnaguid võrreldakse inimeste hinnangutega. Selleks, et mudelite võimekust hinnata, luuakse uus eestikeelne andmekogu, mis sisaldab sõnapaare ja inimeste poolt annoteeritud sarnasuse hinnanguid. Töös hinnatakse kolme eri kategooriasse kuuluvaid arvutuslikke mudeleid: distributiivseid mude- leid, semantilisi võrke ja tehisnägemise mudeleid. Saadud tulemusi saab kasutada tulevaste mudelite hindamiseks.
