Fly with the EAGLES: evaluation of the "ACCeSS" spoken language dialogue system

This paper reports the experiences we had in evaluating the ACCeSS system using the EAGLES evaluation metrics both at the input/output (black box evaluation) and component levels (glass box evaluation). We deliver an example of a complete evaluation of a continuous speech/mixed initiative system using these standards. Furthermore, we discuss some useful extensions to them.

Modelling OLIF frame with EAGLES/ISLE specifications: an interlingual approach

FunGramKB is a lexico-conceptual knowledge base for NLP systems. The FunGramKB lexical model is basically derived from OLIF and enhanced with EAGLES/ISLE recommendations with the purpose of designing robust computational lexica. However, the FunGramKB interlingual approach gives a more cognitive view to EAGLES/ISLE proposals. The aim of this paper is to describe how this approach influences the...

Techniques and Results of Artificial Insemination with Golden Eagles

The techniques and-some of the events involved in the successful artificial insemination and incubation of Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) at Cornell University during 1972 are summarized. Cooperative insemination techniques (Berry, 1972)were used primarily, as opposed to the traditional forced, massage methods normally used for poultry (see Smyth, 1968). Cooperative insemination requires bir...

PROPERTIES OF ALKALI-ACTIVATED FLY ASH CONCRETE BLENDED WITH SLAG

Survey for hemoparasites in imperial eagles (Aquila heliaca), steppe eagles (Aquila nipalensis), and white-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) from Kazakhstan.

Prevalence of hemoparasites has been investigated in many avian species throughout Europe and North America. Basic hematologic surveys are the first step toward evaluating whether host-parasite prevalences observed in North America and Europe occur elsewhere in the world. We collected blood smears from 94 nestling imperial eagles (Aquila heliaca), five nestling steppe eagles (Aquila nipalensis)...
