TL;DR: The authors discusses the two different ways of solving this problem in these frameworks in these literature, and discusses how to solve it in the context of Remnant Movement approaches in general, as well as comparing them with Koopman & Szabolcsi's and Rackowski & Travis's approaches.
Abstract: Inspired by Kayne's Antisymmetry hypothesis, there have been over the last decade numerous analyses employing extensive remnant movement, among which the Koopman & Szabolcsi (2000) analyis of Hungarian and Dutch and the Rackowski & Travis analysis of Malagasy In particular, R&T's approach solves several outstanding puzzles of Malagasy syntax, but runs into a possible contradition with regard to the proper placement of arguments and adverbials, namely needing extraction out of deeply embedded specifier positions in some cases and wanting to forbid it in others It turns out that this problem is found in K&Sz's analyses as well, and appears to be common to Remnant Movement approaches in general This article discusses the two different ways of solving this problem in these frameworks

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the placement of adverbs is a crucial criterion for identifying the positions of arguments and verb(s) in the domain referred to as the Mittelfeld.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show that the placement of adverbs is a crucial criterion for identifying the positions of arguments and verb(s) in the domain of the clause referred to as the Mittelfeld. This domain is situated between the complementizer system (CP) and the VP-shell. We propose that the Mittelfeld be constituted of Cinque‟s (1999) adverb-related projections in addition to argument and verb-related projections. More precisely, recursive chunks of A-positions are potentially available between the adverb-related functional projections. It will be assumed that the chunks are recursive SVO structures, as required by the Strict Cyclicity on the basis of Kayne‟s (1994) antisymmetry theory (SVO order within the VP-shell). A comparative study of word order variations involving the subject, object, verb and the adverbs will be undertaken within the Romance languages with reference to English. Three configurations are relevant: (i) SVO, (ii) VSO and (iii) VOS. In function of the Information Structure they realize (in question-answer contexts), such word orders will be analysed in declarative clauses. Movement operates separately on the subject, the object and the verb and can target various positions among the adverb-related projections depending on the placement possibility of adverbs of different classes. The hypothesis running throughout the paper is that all arguments must leave the VP-shell in order to have their A-features (Case, phi) and I-features (top, foc, etc.) matched/checked. According to this hypothesis, scrambling applies not only to OV languages (German, Japanese), but also to VO languages

TL;DR: It is proved in the paper that the optimal solutions to several batch and online regression problems satisfy, under certain conditions, either symmetry or antisymmetry constraints, where the symmetry/antisymetry is defined with respect to a suitable transformation of the data.
Abstract: Besides requiring a good fit of the learned model to the empirical data, machine learning problems usually require such a model to satisfy additional constraints. Their satisfaction can be either imposed a-priori, or checked a-posteriori, once the optimal solution to the learning problem has been determined. In this framework, it is proved in the paper that the optimal solutions to several batch and online regression problems (specifically, the Ordinary Least Squares, Tikhonov regularization, and Kalman filtering problems) satisfy, under certain conditions, either symmetry or antisymmetry constraints, where the symmetry/antisymmetry is defined with respect to a suitable transformation of the data. Computational issues related to the obtained theoretical results (i.e., reduction of the dimensions of the matrices involved in the computations of the optimal solutions) are also described. The results, which are validated numerically, have potential application in machine-learning problems such as pairwise binary classification, learning of preference relations, and learning the weights associated with the directed arcs of a graph under symmetry/antisymmetry constraints.
