Anisotropic Compacts Stars on Paraboloidal Spacetime with Linear Equation of State
New exact solutions of Einstein's field equations (EFEs) by assuming linear
equation of state, where is the radial
pressure and is the surface density, are obtained on the background
of a paraboloidal spacetime. By assuming estimated mass and radius of strange
star candidate 4U 1820-30, various physical and energy conditions are used for
estimating the range of parameter . The suitability of the model for
describing pulsars like PSR J1903+327, Vela X-1, Her X-1 and SAX J1804.3658 has
been explored and respective ranges of , for which all physical and
energy conditions are satisfied throughout the distribution, are obtained.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, 1 tabl

New topic detection in microblogs and topic model evaluation using topical alignment
textThis thesis deals with topic model evaluation and new topic detection in microblogs. Microblogs are short and thus may not carry any contextual clues. Hence it becomes challenging to apply traditional natural language processing algorithms on such data. Graphical models have been traditionally used for topic discovery and text clustering on sets of text-based documents. Their unsupervised nature allows topic models to be trained easily on datasets meant for specific domains. However the advantage of not requiring annotated data comes with a drawback with respect to evaluation difficulties. The problem aggravates when the data comprises microblogs which are unstructured and noisy.
We demonstrate the application of three types of such models to microblogs - the Latent Dirichlet Allocation, the Author-Topic and the Author-Recipient-Topic model. We extensively evaluate these models under different settings, and our results show that the Author-Recipient-Topic model extracts the most coherent topics. We also addressed the problem of topic modeling on short text by using clustering techniques. This technique helps in boosting the performance of our models.
Topical alignment is used for large scale assessment of topical relevance by comparing topics to manually generated domain specific concepts. In this thesis we use this idea to evaluate topic models by measuring misalignments between topics. Our study on comparing topic models reveals interesting traits about Twitter messages, users and their interactions and establishes that joint modeling on author-recipient pairs and on the content of tweet leads to qualitatively better topic discovery.
This thesis gives a new direction to the well known problem of topic discovery in microblogs. Trend prediction or topic discovery for microblogs is an extensive research area. We propose the idea of using topical alignment to detect new topics by comparing topics from the current week to those of the previous week. We measure correspondence between a set of topics from the current week and a set of topics from the previous week to quantify five types of misalignments: \textit{junk, fused, missing} and \textit{repeated}. Our analysis compares three types of topic models under different settings and demonstrates how our framework can detect new topics from topical misalignments. In particular so-called \textit{junk} topics are more likely to be new topics and the \textit{missing} topics are likely to have died or die out.
To get more insights into the nature of microblogs we apply topical alignment to hashtags. Comparing topics to hashtags enables us to make interesting inferences about Twitter messages and their content. Our study revealed that although a very small proportion of Twitter messages explicitly contain hashtags, the proportion of tweets that discuss topics related to hashtags is much higher.Computer Science
Anisotropic fluid spheres of embedding class one using Karmarkar condition
We obtain a new anisotropic solution for spherically symmetric spacetimes by
analysing of the Karmarkar embedding condition. For this purpose we construct a
suitable form of one of the gravitational potentials to obtain a closed form
solution. This form of the remaining gravitational potential allows us to solve
the embedding equation and integrate the field equations. The resulting new
anisotropic solution is well behaved which can be utilized to construct
realistic static fluid spheres. Also we estimated masses and radii of fluid
spheres for LMC X-4 and EXO 1785-248 by using observational data sets values.
The obtained masses and radii show that our anisotropic solution can represent
fluid spheres to a very good degree of accuracy.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figure
