Detection of Review Abuse via Semi-Supervised Binary Multi-Target Tensor Decomposition
Product reviews and ratings on e-commerce websites provide customers with
detailed insights about various aspects of the product such as quality,
usefulness, etc. Since they influence customers' buying decisions, product
reviews have become a fertile ground for abuse by sellers (colluding with
reviewers) to promote their own products or to tarnish the reputation of
competitor's products. In this paper, our focus is on detecting such abusive
entities (both sellers and reviewers) by applying tensor decomposition on the
product reviews data. While tensor decomposition is mostly unsupervised, we
formulate our problem as a semi-supervised binary multi-target tensor
decomposition, to take advantage of currently known abusive entities. We
empirically show that our multi-target semi-supervised model achieves higher
precision and recall in detecting abusive entities as compared to unsupervised
techniques. Finally, we show that our proposed stochastic partial natural
gradient inference for our model empirically achieves faster convergence than
stochastic gradient and Online-EM with sufficient statistics.Comment: Accepted to the 25th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and

Lepton number violation via intermediate black hole processes
Black holes at the TeV scale are investigated in the extra large dimension
scenario. We interpret the lightest black hole excitation as a singlet scalar
field, and show how interaction terms can be appended to the standard model at
the dimension five non-renormalizable level. Lepton family number violation is
natural in this model. Muon magnetic moment, and neutrino masses are
investigated. We also present a quantization scheme in n dimensions.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Electro-Reflectance Spectra of Blue Bronze
We show that the infrared reflectance of the quasi-one dimensional
charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor K0.3MoO3 (blue bronze) varies with position
when a voltage greater than the CDW depinning threshold is applied. The spatial
dependence and spectra associated with these changes are generally as expected
from the electro-transmission [B.M. Emerling, et al, Eur. Phys. J. B 16, 295
(2000)], but there are some differences which might be associated with changes
in the CDW properties on the surface. We have examined the electro-reflectance
spectrum associated with CDW current investigation for light polarized parallel
to the conducting chains for signs of expected current-induced intragap states,
and conclude that the density of any such states is at least an order of
magnitude lower than expected.Comment: 1)submitted to Eur. Phys. J B 2) revised (July 24) to a) better

Masses and decay modes of charmonia using a confinement model
The masses of charmonium s and p-states, pseudoscalar and vector decay
constants, leptonic, hadronic as well as radiative decay widths for charmonia
have been computed in the framework of extended harmonic confinement model
without any additional parameters. The outcome in comparison with other
contemporary theoretical and experimental results is presented.Comment: Submitted to AIP for proceedings of International Workshop on

A Critical Review of the Principles Governing Diet Intake in Ayurveda
Diet has been given very crucial importance in Ayurveda regarding maintenance of health and causation of diseases. A lot of description about what to eat and how to eat has been given in the texts. This article discusses the rules for deciding the food for an individual and eating the food as given in Ayurveda in the light of scientific knowledge
ELECTRO-OPTICAL STUDIES OF CHARGE-DENSITY-WAVE MATERIALS
A searched for narrow-band-noise (NBN) modulations of the infrared transmission in blue bronze has been performed. No modulations were observed, giving an upper limits for NBN changes in the absorption coefficient of )2000/(/3.0.andlt;.cmNBN. The implication of these results on proposed CDW properties and NBN mechanisms are discussed. An infrared microscope with a capability of doing both reflectance and transmission measurements has been integrated into the previous electro-transmission system with tunable diode lasers. Electro-optic experiments were done using the microscope for the studies of the CDW states of K0.3MoO3 (blue bronze) and orthorhombic TaS3. The electro-reflectance signal for blue bronze has been evidenced for the first time. The infrared reflectance of K0.3MoO3 varied with position when a voltage greater than the CDW depinning threshold is applied. The spatial dependence of .R/R was slightly different than for ./, in that the magnitude of .R/R decreased and, for low voltages and frequencies, the signal became inverted near the contacts. Perhaps the differences might be associated with changes in the CDW properties on the surface. For blue bronze, the electro-reflectance signal was measured to be smaller than electro-transmittance signal by one order of magnitude for light polarized transverse to the chain direction, while the electro-reflectance signal for parallel polarized light was found to be a few times smaller than for transverse polarized light. The fits of the electro-reflectance spectrum showed that the changes in background dielectric constant were ~ 0.05 % and/or oscillator strength and/or frequency shifts of the phonons were ~ 0.05 % and ~ 0.005 cm-1 in the applied electric field. We also found that parallel polarized phonons are affected by CDW strain, and these changes dominate the electro-reflectance spectrum. We have examined the electro-reflectance spectra associated with CDW current investigation for light polarized parallel to the conducting chains for signs of expected current-induced intragap states, and conclude that the density of any such states is at most a few times less than expected. We have observed a large (~1%) change in infrared reflectance of orthorhombic TaS3, when its CDW is depinned. The change is concentrated near one current contact. Assuming that the change in reflectance is proportional to the degree of CDW polarization, we have studied the dynamics of CDW repolarization through position dependent measurements of the variation of the electro-reflectance with the frequency of square wave voltages applied to the sample, and have found that the response could be characterized as a damped harmonic oscillator with a distribution of relaxation (i.e. damping) times. The average relaxation time, which increases away from the contacts, varies with applied voltage as with p ~ 3/2, but the distribution of times broadens as the voltage approaches the depinning threshold. Very low resonant frequencies (~ 1 kHz) indicate a surprisingly large amount of inertia, which is observable in the time dependence of the change in reflectance as a polarity dependent delay of ~ 100 s
