A frustratingly easy way of extracting political networks from text. by Naim Bro

“…Based on a corpus of 1009 Chilean political news articles, the study validates the graph extraction method using 'legislative agreement', i.e., the proportion of times two politicians vote the same way. It finds that sentiments identified by GPT-4 align with how frequently parliamentarians vote together in roll calls. …”

Generalized H-fold sumset and Subsequence sum by Mohan, Pandey, Ram Krishna

“…The generalized $H$-fold sumset, denoted by $H^{(r)}A$, is the union of the sumsets $h^{(r)}A$ for $h\in H$ where, the sumset $h^{(r)}A$ is the set of all integers that can be represented as a sum of $h$ elements from $A$ with no summand in the representation appearing more than $r$ times. In this paper, we find the optimal lower bound for the cardinality of $H^{(r)}A$, i.e., for $|H^{(r)}A|$ and the structure of the underlying sets $A$ and $H$ when $|H^{(r)}A|$ is equal to the optimal lower bound in the cases $A$ contains only positive integers and $A$ contains only nonnegative integers. …”
