In this paper, we propose a new generative approach for semantic slot filling task in spoken language understanding using a nonparametric Bayesian formalism. Slot filling is typically formulated as a sequential labeling problem, which does not directly deal with the posterior distribution of possible slot values. We present a nonparametric Bayesian model involving the generation of arbitrary na...

A Dielectric Resonator loaded Substrate integrated waveguide cavity backed slot antenna (SIDRA) is proposed for two slot polarizations and orientation. A SIW-fed cylindrical DRA using rectangular slot is used for obtaining bandwidth of about 5% at 6.15 GHz. For enhancing bandwidth, a plus shaped slot with bandwidth of about 8.80% and gain of 3.7 dB is proposed. The proposed antenna represents S...

A broad-wall transverse slot array is important in that it radiates linear polarization orthogonal to that of shunt slot array. A bore-sight beam transverse slot array requires the slot spacing of a guided wavelength λg, which is always greater than the free space wavelength λo, hence the array suffers from unwanted grating beam radiations. From the design point of view, it utilizes non-resonan...

This paper evaluates the effect of slot existence with limited length between flanges and web junction of I-shaped beams at the region of moment connections on vertical force and shear stress distribution in beam flanges and web at connection section in comparison with classical theory of stress distribution. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the slot in connect...

This paper describes our system used in the Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis Task 12 of SemEval-2015. Our system is based on two supervised machine learning algorithms: sigmoidal feedforward network to train binary classifiers for aspect category classification (Slot 1), and Conditional Random Fields to train classifiers for opinion target extraction (Slot 2). We extract a variety of lexicon and...

A simple architecture for subsampling LC-based continuous-time SD modulators is introduced. The concept of utilising loop delay to simplify the modulator architecture is generalised to subsampling modulators. Moreover, it is shown that is possible to remove the delay-compensation branch usually used in traditional designs. Removing the delay-compensation branch results in significant simplifica...

This paper presents the system of the UGENT IBCN team for the TAC KBP 2014 slot filling and cold start (slot filling variant) tasks. This was the team’s first participation in both tasks. The slot filling system uses distant supervision to generate training data combined with a noise reduction step, and two different types of classifiers. We show that the noise reduction step significantly impr...

Pathological and nonpathological gamblers completed a task that assessed preference among 2 concurrently available slot machines. Subsequent assessments of choice were conducted after various attempts to transfer contextual functions associated with irrelevant characteristics of the slot machines. Results indicated that the nonproblem gambling group, but not the problem gambling group, increase...

We discuss the dynamics of a piecewise holonomic mechanical system: a discrete sister to the classical non-holonomically constrained Chaplygin sleigh. A slotted rigid body moves in the plane subject to a sequence of pegs intermittently placed and sliding freely along the slot; motions are smooth and holonomic except at instants of peg insertion. We derive a return map and analyze stability of c...
