False friends or real friends? False cognates show advantage in word form learning
We explored the acquisition of three types of second language (L2) words in a paired-associates learning task. Seventy-six Polish participants were presented with 24 nonwords paired with pictures; they completed 8 interleaving test blocks of form production and meaning recognition, both followed by feedback.

Hessian based measures of flatness, such as the trace, Frobenius and spectral norms, have been argued, used and shown to relate to generalisation. In this paper we demonstrate that for feed forward neural networks under the cross entropy loss, we would expect low loss solutions with large weights to have small Hessian based measures of flatness.

Brain synchronizability, a false friend
Synchronization plays a fundamental role in healthy cognitive and motor function. However, how synchronization depends on the interplay between local dynamics, coupling and topology and how prone to synchronization a network with given topological organization is are still poorly understood issues.

Every terminology system strives to be as systematic as possible and able to eliminate system errors. In the context of error identification, it is more than obvious that linguistic errors, apart from other system errors, occur quite frequently. This paper is focused on the linguistic and translation phenomenon of false friends, especially as a ...

Eclipsing Ethereum Peers with False Friends [PDF]
Ethereum is a decentralized Blockchain system that supports the execution of Turing-complete smart contracts. Although the security of the Ethereum ecosystem has been studied in the past, the network layer has been mostly neglected. We show that Go Ethereum (Geth), the most widely used Ethereum implementation, is vulnerable to eclipse attacks ...

Diachronic Investigations of False Friends
Lažni parovi, tj. parovi riječi u dva ili više jezika koje su slične ili istovjetne u pisanju ili izgovoru, a različita su značenja, već su dugo vrijeme vrlo popularna tema u lingvistici (Koessler and Derocquigny 1928, Ivir 1968, Nilsen 1977, Chamizo Domínguez and Nerlich 2002). Poznati su po tome što stvaraju teškoće pri učenju stranih jezika jer zbog

A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed. Beware of False Friends,Though!
Have you ever been deceived by a friend? A very unpleasant feeling, indeed! This can happen with language learning - no, this does not mean that your fellow learners are malicious, but that sometimes a word means something completely different than you think it does based on your knowledge of other languages or of your mother tongue.

This thesis is devoted to the problem of translator’s false friends which are considered to be one of the most serious issues in the context of the theory and practice translation. There is no doubt the fact that the translation is a very ancient kind of human activity.
