    APS/123-QED Computing the statistical significance of optimized communities in networks John Palowitch∗ Google Research 1600 Ampitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 (Dated: November 20, 2018) Abstract It is often of interest to find communities in network data for unsupervised learning, feature dis- covery, anomaly detection, or scientific study. The vast majority of community detection methods proceed via optimization of a quality function, which is possible even on random networks without communities. Therefore there is usually not an easy way to tell if a community is “significant", in this context meaning more internally connected than would be expected under a random graph model without communities. This paper generalizes existing null models for this purpose to bipar- tite graphs, and introduces a new significance scoring algorithm called Fast Optimized Community Significance (FOCS) that is highly scalable and agnostic to the type of graph. Furthermore, com- pared with existing methods on unipartite graphs, FOCS is more numerically stable and better balances the trade-off between detection power and false positives. PACS numbers: 02.50.-r,02.70.-c,89.70.Cf arXiv:1807.02930v2 [stat.ME] 17 Nov 2018 ∗Electronic address: [email protected] 1 I. INTRODUCTION Many natural systems can be modeled as a network, with network nodes representing entities and network edges representing links or relationships between those entities. As such, a wide variety of network models and graph algorithms have been developed, generalized, and improved over many decades, forming the field of network science and the study of complex networks [1]. A sub-field of network science is focused on methodology for and applications of \community" detection.

    Super Troopers 2 (2018)

    SUPER TROOPERS 2 (2018) ● Released US April 20, 2018 ● 100 minutes ● $13.5 million Budget ● Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar ● Produced by Broken Lizard Industries and Cataland Films ● Fox Searchlight Picture ● Rated R (for crude sexual content and language throughout, drug material and some graphic nudity) QUICK THOUGHTS ● Marisa Serafini ● Andrew Ghai ● JB Zimmerman DEVELOPMENT ● This movie was released 17 years after the original Super Troopers ● When we went to [the studio] and said, "Hey, we want to make this sequel," they said, "Great. Why don't you raise the money?" And we said, "Okay..." -Chandrasekhar ● Started raising the money 3 years ago ● The film took many years to come to fruition as studios doubted that a sequel, produced over a decade after the original, would find an audience ● In November 2009, Broken Lizard revealed that they had finished three drafts of the sequel's screenplay and that independent financiers had agreed to finance the movie. They also revealed that the character of Captain O'Hagan was part of the screenplay and that actor Brian Cox was planning on returning to the role ● In Jan 2009, Soter said in an interview that the plot of the sequel would be: “we are on the Canadian border. And in reality, what has happened is that the government has found places where the markers were wrong.… We are enlisted because they have to send someone there to help make it part of the U.S. territory now. And we are surrounded by all of these Canadian people that aren't happy about this. We essentially have to impose U.S.

    Issn -2347-856X Issn -2348-0653 the Intersection of Hollywood and the Indian Film Industry: Impact and Implications

    Research paper IJBARR Impact Factor (GIF) 0.314 E- ISSN -2347-856X ISSN -2348-0653 THE INTERSECTION OF HOLLYWOOD AND THE INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY: IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS Aruna Natarajan Research Scholar, Dept. of Electronic Media & Mass Communication, Pondicherry University, Pondicherry. ABSTRACT With globalization and growing intersection of western and Indian film makers, it seems that Hollywood movies are becoming bollywoodish and bollywood movies are becoming hollywoodish…Some Indian movies like, “ghajini”, was influenced by “memento” and “Dhoom” shows the influence of the “fast and furious” and the list goes on… likewise the recent succesfull movies like “Mumma mia”, “high school musical”, “the love guru”, show a clear Indian influence. There is a greater likelihood of crossover of commercially successful production formulas between Hollywood and bollywood. On the other hand, Indian filmmakers have been compelled to adopt Hollywood’s "lowest common denominator" production formula – predicated on the themes of sex, violence, alcohol and drug use – to regain commercial success for their films, whose earlier themes of mushy love stories and family dramas have lost their appeal to an audience. The paper says that, for now, there is a growing Hollywoodization of Indian films – marked by sexual depictions, scantily clad women, and violence-oriented scripts within the framework of a pleasure-seeking culture. At the same time the prevailing evidence indicates the beginnings of a reverse influence on Hollywood for the same reason -- the profitability of commercial feature films -- that is influencing India by Hollywood. Hollywood is getting Bollywoodish to some degree, especially after the Oscar famous “Slum dog millionaire”. The two-way cultural symbiosis is likely to grow to serve the entertainment and cultural needs of a cosmopolitan audience who is open to consuming and appreciating foreign cultural influences without entirely rejecting their own.
