A new method to test shear wave splitting: improving statistical assessment of splitting parameters
… based on the cross-convolution method [Menke and Levin, 2003]. This new method has been tested on synthetic data and benchmarked with data from the Pasadena, California seismic station (PAS). Synthetic tests show that the method can successfully obtain the splitting parameters from observed split …

Automatic induction of verb classes using clustering

Stickelberger Elements and Gross-Stark Units via Adelic Eisenstein Classes
… integral refinements by Beilinson, Kings, and Levin, offer straightforward proofs for the rationality and integrality properties of special values of abelian L-functions over totally real fields. In our recent joint work with Spiess, we introduce an adelic refinement of these constructions, …

Non-verbal argument structure : evidence from Tagalog
… theme argument (Pesetsky 1982; Borer 1984, 1991; Levin and Rappaport 1986; Baker 2003; among others).
