While part-of-speech (POS) tagging and dependency parsing are observed to be closely related, existing work on joint modeling with manually crafted feature templates suffers from the feature sparsity and incompleteness problems. In this paper, we propose an approach to joint POS tagging and dependency parsing using transitionbased neural networks. Three neural network based classifiers are desi...

In this paper we present a Pos Tagging system based on Support Vector Machines. The system is based on a sliding-window approach in which the window moves from left-to-right. It exploits a rich set of features including morphological features of the word under analysis and of a fixed set of surrounding words. The system joined the Italian Pos Tagging task of Evalita2009 scoring an accuracy of 9...

A study was undertaken to determine effect of nutritional value of Melon husk (MH) and Palm oil slurry (POS) on quality of chevon obtained from West African Dwarf (WAD) goats fed finishing diets as follows: diet 1(0% MH, 0% POS); diet 2 (50% MH, 0% POS); diet 3 (0% MH, 50% POS) and diet 4 (50% MH, 50% POS), along with Panicum maximum as basal diet for all dietary treatment groups. After 60 days...

The Palliative Care Outcome Scale (POS) is a multidimensional instrument covering physical, psychosocial, spiritual, organizational, and practical concerns. This study validated the German version of the POS and used the tool in different palliative care settings in Germany and Austria. Patients and staff were asked to complete the POS three times and evaluate the questionnaire and the translat...

AIM To evaluate retailer's compliance and consumer's perceptions of and experiences with the point-of-sale (POS) tobacco display ban in Norway, implemented 1 January 2010. METHODS Retailer compliance was measured using audit surveys. Consumer's perceptions of the ban were assessed in three web surveys: one conducted before and two after implementation of the ban. The sample for each of these ...

Point of Sale (PoS) malware has been alarmingly successful over the past year and is estimated to have cost businesses billions of dollars. While PoS malware does not represent any major technical evolution, it suggests that cybercrime is shifting focus from the consumer to the retailer. Rather than relying on infecting relatively small groups of users with specific vulnerabilities who may cond...

As the core of blockchain technology, consensus algorithm directly affects security, stability, and decentralisation numerous other important characteristics. Choosing an appropriate for different scenarios is currently a challenge in implementation applications. This paper classifies improvement schemes proof stake (PoS) into three categories: PoS-based algorithms, PoS- PoW-based BFT-based alg...
