La lecture jeunesse en breton, une clé de compréhension de la situation sociolinguistique de Bretagne, entre enjeux, représentations et pratiques by Eve Rouxel

“…A study of the issues surrounding the written Breton language, the actual reading practices of young people and the expectations of their parents in this area calls into question the evidence of a convergence of expectations around bilingualism through schools, and highlights the different rationales at work among players who would a priori have been placed in the same distribution structure, but who do not necessarily appear to be 'playing' by the same rules.…”

New method for link prediction in directed networks based on triad patterns by Sheng CHANG, Hong MA, Shuxin LIU

“…Almost all current studies on link prediction problem focus on undirected networks.Unfortunately,many complex networks in the real world are directed.Ignoring the direction of a link will overlook some important information or even make the prediction meaningless.Directly applying the methods for undirected networks to directed networks will reduce the accuracy of prediction.A new method for link prediction in directed networks based on triad patterns was proposed.The proposed metric compare the difference of triad structures between undirected and directed networks and use potential theory to filter the triad patterns.By statistics of triad closeness in various networks,new method calculate the similarity between nodes using the triad closeness index of a network as the weight for different triad patterns.Experiments on nine real networks show that accuracy of proposed method is 4.3% better than benchmark methods.…”
