Evaluating prose style transfer with the Bible
In the prose style transfer task a system, provided with text input and a
target prose style, produces output which preserves the meaning of the input
text but alters the style. These systems require parallel data for evaluation
of results and usually make use of parallel data for training. Currently, there
are few publicly available corpora for this task. In this work, we identify a
high-quality source of aligned, stylistically distinct text in different
versions of the Bible. We provide a standardized split, into training,
development and testing data, of the public domain versions in our corpus. This
corpus is highly parallel since many Bible versions are included. Sentences are
aligned due to the presence of chapter and verse numbers within all versions of
the text. In addition to the corpus, we present the results, as measured by the
BLEU and PINC metrics, of several models trained on our data which can serve as
baselines for future research. While we present these data as a style transfer
corpus, we believe that it is of unmatched quality and may be useful for other
natural language tasks as well
Endotrivial modules for the symmetric and alternating groups.
In this paper we determine the group of endotrivial modules for certain symmetric and alternating groups in characteristic . If , then the group is generated by the class of except in a few low degrees. If , then the group is only determined for degrees less than . In these cases we show that there are several Young modules which are endotrivial
Real Cubic Surfaces and Real Hyperbolic Geometry
The moduli space of stable real cubic surfaces is the quotient of real
hyperbolic four-space by a discrete, nonarithmetic group. The volume of the
moduli space is 37\pi^2/1080 in the metric of constant curvature -1. Each of
the five connected components of the moduli space can be described as the
quotient of real hyperbolic four-space by a specific arithmetic group. We
compute the volumes of these components.Comment: 4 pages, one figur
Hyperbolic geometry and moduli of real cubic surfaces
Let M_0^R be the moduli space of smooth real cubic surfaces. We show that
each of its components admits a real hyperbolic structure. More precisely, one
can remove some lower-dimensional geodesic subspaces from a real hyperbolic
space H^4 and form the quotient by an arithmetic group to obtain an orbifold
isomorphic to a component of the moduli space. There are five components. For
each we describe the corresponding lattices in PO(4,1). We also derive several
new and several old results on the topology of M_0^R. Let M_s^R be the moduli
space of real cubic surfaces that are stable in the sense of geometric
invariant theory. We show that this space carries a hyperbolic structure whose
restriction to M_0^R is that just mentioned. The corresponding lattice in
PO(4,1), for which we find an explicit fundamental domain, is nonarithmetic.Comment: Major revision, including several new or completely rewritten
sections. 56 page
Job vacancy chains in metropolitan labor markets
Metropolitan Labor markets are characterized by gross flows, much larger than the traditional net measures of employment change might suggest. Standard impact analyses of employment change tend to either ignore these flows or treat them as a matter of 'job churning'. But in a metropolitan area experiencing involuntary unemployment and underemployment, these flows may offer real opportunities for individuals to improve their employment positions. Such improvement occurs along 'job chains' in which a new vacancy opens a sequence of job changes allowing workers to move closer to their full employment wage. Not all chains are of the same length, nor does every chain produce the same welfare gain. This paper presents a model of job chaims which addresses chain length, welfare gains and distributional effects. The application of the model is illustrated using a hypothetical case of a new manufacturing firm in the Chicago metropolitan area. The job chains approach to estimating multiplier, efficiency and distributional effects associated with the firm, is compared with conventional impact analysis estimates. The conclusions discuss the implications of these estimates for the evaluation of local economic development projects.
