A classic PCFG is a generative parsing model, a model of the joint probability P (x, y) of input and output. In this lecture, I will first review the distinction between generative and discriminative models (§1) and introduce the widely used log-linear models (§2). I will then discuss three different ways in which these models are used in current parsing systems: local discriminative models (§3...

We propose a model of the situational context person and show how it can be used to organize and, consequently, reason about massive streams sensor data annotations, as they collected from mobile devices, e.g. smartphones, smartwatches or fitness trackers. The proposed is validated on very large dataset everyday life one hundred fifty-eight people over four weeks, twenty-four hours day.

Background and Objectives: Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a well-established model to alleviate the risk of investment in health domain. While the model is widely applied in the developed countries, the adoption of the model in many developing countries is hampered partly by the lack of knowledge on dimensions and requirements of its local implementation. The present study...
