  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

  • TRENDS in the SOVIET REFORM of CRIMINAL LAW Kazimierz Grzybowski*
    54he American Univeniy LAW REVIEW VOLUME 9 JUNE 1960 NUMBER 2 MAIN TRENDS IN THE SOVIET REFORM OF CRIMINAL LAW Kazimierz Grzybowski* I. THE fourteen laws adopted by the Supreme Soviet on December 25, 1958, which together have laid the foundations for the reform of Soviet criminal law and the administration of justice constitute only a first step in this direction. They must be followed by detailed statutes and codes enacted by the constituent republics forming the Union in order to complete the system of criminal law and judicial procedure for the entire country. This somewhat complicated procedure was necessitated by the consti- tutional distribution of legislative powers. Under the 1924 constitution the Union was given the right only to enact legislation outlining the general principles of criminal law, of the judicial organization and ju- dicial procedure, while the republics were entrusted with introducing specific legislation. The Constitution of 1936 concentrated all legislation concerning these matters in the legislature of the Union, which was to provide uniform laws for the entire country. In 1957 a constitutional reform redistributed the legislative powers in this respect according to the pattern of 1924.' In fact, however, the federal authorities made little use of the powers under uniform given them by the Constitution of 1936 to put the Union laws, and the bulk of Soviet criminal legislation was enacted under the rule of the Constitution of 1924. The general principles of criminal law, the judicial system, and judicial procedure in criminal matters adopted in 1924 remained in force until 1958. The act containing the general principles of criminal law also reserved to the federal government the right to legislate on crimes against the state and on military crimes al- though the Constitution of 1924 was silent on the matter and the Union possessed only specific powers.

Contact: [email protected] Bikes and the Brooklyn Waterfront: Past, Present, and Future Brooklyn and the Bicycle by David V. Herlihy Across the United States, cycling is flourishing, not only as a recreational activity but also as a “green” and practical means of urban transportation. The phenomenon is particularly pronounced in Brooklyn, a large and mostly flat urban expanse with a vibrant, youthful population. The current national cycling boom encompasses new and promising developments, such as a growing number of hi-tech urban bike share networks, including Citi Bike, set to launch in New York City in May 2013. Nevertheless, the present “revival” reflects a certain historical pattern in which the bicycle has swung periodically back into, and out of, public favor. I propose to review here the principal American cycling booms over the past century and a half to show how, each time, Brooklyn has played a prominent role. I will start with the introduction of the bicycle itself (then generally called a “velocipede” from the Latin for fast feet), when Brooklyn was arguably the epicenter of the nascent American bicycle industry. 1 Bikes and the Brooklyn Waterfront: Past, Present, and Future Velocipede Mania The first bicycle craze, known then as “velocipede mania,” struck Paris in mid- 1867, in the midst of the Universal Exhibition.

"SOCIALIST LEGALITY" AND COMMUNIST ETHICS George L. Kline THE "NIHILISM" which dominated Soviet legal theory and practice during the 1920's has deeper and more tangled intellectual roots in the Russian past than has generally been recognized. With respect to ethics and social philosophy, early Russian Marxists around the turn of the century were divided into three factions: an "orthodox" group, led by Plekhanov; a "Kant- ian" revisionist group, led by Berdyaev; and a "Nietzschean" revisionist group, led by Bogdanov. On the question of law and "legality" the influence of Kant, Nietzsche, and Marx - and, for that matter, of the anarchists Bakunin, Tolstoy, and Kropotkin - came to a single focus. All the early Russian Marxists, though for rather different reasons, took a negative view of legal institutions and norms. For them the "juridical state" and the "rule of law" were empty and alien concepts. It is significant that a leading Russian theorist of law, writing in 1909,1 felt called upon to defend the rule of law against Russian intellectuals of every political hue, from Leontyev and the Slavophiles to Herzen and the radicals - both Marxist and non-Marxist - who had scorned and neglected it.

Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.
