We propose a principled and effective domain adaptation framework that pursues the goal of Open Domain NLP (train once, test anywhere). Most domain adaptation frameworks adapt the models trained on the source domain data by retraining it on target domains (with a mix of labeled and unlabeled data). However, it is time consuming to retrain big models or pipeline systems, and may not even be feas...

he sequential sound therapy is a treatment of the tinnitus with white noise that has some own characteristics. They are described the methodology, as well as their differences and similarities with the Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. The sequential sound therapy has been carried out to seventeen patients assisted during the year 2002. 26 generators of sounds adapted, of them, 22 generators of soun...

Panel Summary This panel looks at software engineering retraining in industry through industry-university collaboration. The particular context for the panel is the Software Systems Development Certificate (SSDC) under the Software Engineering Retraining Program (SERP) that brought together Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Southern Polytechnic State University, and the State of Georgia. Thi...

In (perhaps) one of the largest series, treatment of 30 cases of writer's cramp by behaviour therapy alone, has been studied over a period of 5 years. The therapy techniques used were (i) relaxation therapy and retraining (ii) relaxation therapy, retraining and systematic desenetization. The outcome of both the techniques are very encouraging and show definite improvement in all cases. Various ...

To what extent is the Buteyko Institute Method of breathing retraining effective for sleep apnoea? A survey of Buteyko Institute practitioners' experiences with clients suffering from sleep apnoea.

We diagnosed 50 patients (58 shoulders) with a mean age at presentation of 17.3 years, as having involuntary positional instability of the shoulder. They were managed by a programme consisting of a careful explanation, analysis of abnormal muscle couples and then muscle retraining carried out by a specialist physiotherapist. The mean follow-up was two years. Six shoulders had a poor result, but...

In this paper efficient performance generalization of neural network classifiers is accomplished, for unsupervised video object segmentation in videoconference/videophone sequences. Each time conditions change, a retraining phase is activated and the neural network classifier is adapted to the new environment. During retraining both the former and current knowledge are utilized so that good net...

PURPOSE Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively new technology that is currently utilized in a wide variety of settings to test and train individuals in specialized skills. This study examines methods for improving driver retraining protocols for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHOD We compared a VR driving simulator, under two different display conditions, a head mounted display (HMD) ...

Lipids heading toward lysosomes that carry a mutated ion channel are spared from destruction, according to Meidel et al. (page 1477). The accumulating undigested fat eventually dooms the cell. Cells get rid of excess fat, which comes from worn-out organelles or engulfed pathogens by, for instance, shuttling them in endosomes to degradative lysosomes. The two organelles are thought to fuse when ...
