In this paper, we introduce a coverage-based scoring function that discriminates between parallel and non-parallel sentences. When plugged into Bleualign, a state-of-the-art sentence aligner, our function improves both precision and recall of alignments over the originally proposed BLEU score. Furthermore, since our scoring function uses Moses phrase tables directly we avoid the need to transla...

O ne of the key topics and the most important tools to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each organization and company is the evaluation the performance of organizational activities that rating and ranking follows the internal and external goals. In this regard insurance companies similarly are looking for evaluation of their branches through scoring, ...

An assessment of nine scoring functions commonly applied in docking using a set of 189 protein-ligand complexes is presented. The scoring functions include the CHARMm potential, the scoring function DrugScore, the scoring function used in AutoDock, the three scoring functions implemented in DOCK, as well as three scoring functions implemented in the CScore module in SYBYL (PMF, Gold, ChemScore)...

Proper scoring rules are a means of evaluating the quality of probabilistic forecasts. They induce dissimilarity measures of probability distributions known as Bregman divergences. We survey the literature on both entities and present their mathematical properties in a unified theoretical framework. This perspective allows us to identify score and Bregman divergences and characterize them toget...

In this paper, a new semantic-based extractive summary methodology is put forward. The approach makes use of WordNet synset to obtain sentence semantic similarity. The scoring function is expressed as a linear combination of two features: the query-independent feature and query-related feature. An efficient scoring function of considering historical information for the update summarization task...

Docking algorithms produce many possible structures of a protein-protein complex. In most cases some of them resemble the correct structure within an r.m.s.d. of <3 A. A major challenge in the field of docking is to extract the correct structure out of this pool, the so-called 'scoring'. Here, we introduce a new scoring function, which discriminates between the many wrong and few true conformat...
