We present a CYK and an Earley-style algorithm for parsing Range Concatenation Grammar (RCG), using the deductive parsing framework. The characteristic property of the Earley parser is that we use a technique of range boundary constraint propagation to compute the yields of non-terminals as late as possible. Experiments show that, compared to previous approaches, the constraint propagation help...

In this paper, a remedial measure is first proposed to eliminate the effect of autocorrelation in phase-ІІ monitoring of autocorrelated polynomial profiles, where there is a first order autoregressive (AR(1)) relation between the error terms in each profile. Then, a control chart based on the generalized linear test (GLT) is proposed to monitor the coefficients of polynomial profiles and an R-c...

This paper proposes a more comprehensive look at the ideas of KS and Area Under the Curve AUC of a cumulative gains chart to develop a model quality statistic which can be used agnostically to evaluate the quality of a wide range of models in a standardized fashion. It can be either used holistically on the entire range of the model or at a given decision threshold of the model. Further it can ...

BACKGROUND Contrast sensitivity measurement in UK clinical practice is most commonly performed with the Pelli-Robson chart. AIMS To compare the repeatability of two new contrast sensitivity charts and to measure their agreement with the Pelli-Robson charts. METHOD Contrast sensitivity was measured monocularly using two versions of the Mars letter contrast sensitivity chart, two presentation...

AIM To introduce a new specialized visual acuity chart for amblyopic children aged 3-5 years old and its clinical applications. METHODS The new visual acuity chart and notations were designed based on Weber-Fechner law. The optotypes were red against a white background and were specially shaped four basic geometric symbols: circle, square, triangle, and cross. A regular geometric progression ...

BACKGROUND Optimising clinical responses to deteriorating patients is an international indicator of acute healthcare quality. Observation charts incorporating track and trigger systems are an initiative to improve early identification and response to clinical deterioration. A suite of track and trigger 'Observation and Response Charts' were designed in Australia and initially tested in simulate...

BACKGROUND A reading chart that resembles real reading conditions is important to evaluate the quality of life in terms of reading performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the reading speed of UiTM Malay related words (UiTM-Mrw) reading chart with MNread Acuity Chart and Colenbrander Reading Chart. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty subjects with normal sight were randomly recruited thr...
