We propose a perspective on dialogue that focuses on relative information contributions of conversation partners as a key to successful communication. We predict the success of collaborative task in English and Danish corpora of task-oriented dialogue. Two features are extracted from the frequency domain representations of the lexical entropy series of each interlocutor, power spectrum overlap ...

[1] We explore a method for inferring solar EUV flux, atmospheric composition and wind using ionospheric electron density Ne profile measurements. Incoherent scatter radar data from Millstone Hill and Shigaraki measured on October 5, 1989 are assimilated into a theoretical model whose driving forces, solar EUV flux, exosphere temperature Tex, and meridional wind, are adjustable. Adjustments are...

Recurrent selection (RS) has been used in plant breeding to successively improve synthetic and other multiparental populations. Synthetics are generated from a limited number of parents [Formula: see text] but little is known about how [Formula: see text] affects genomic selection (GS) in RS, especially the persistency of prediction accuracy ([Formula: see text]) and genetic gain. Synthetics we...

Solving the Fokker-Planck equation for high-dimensional complex dynamical systems is an important issue. Recently, the authors developed efficient statistically accurate algorithms for solving the Fokker-Planck equations associated with high-dimensional nonlinear turbulent dynamical systems with conditional Gaussian structures, which contain many strong non-Gaussian features such as intermitten...

Kernel based methods dominate the current trend for various relation extraction tasks including protein-protein interaction (PPI) extraction. PPI information is critical in understanding biological processes. Despite considerable efforts, previously reported PPI extraction results show that none of the approaches already known in the literature is consistently better than other approaches when ...

The Gauge Technique has been applied to QED2+1 in the quenched case with infrared subtraction. The behaviour of the fermion propagator near the threshold is then found to be S(p) → (γ · p+m) (p −m) ( p −m 2m ) exp(− ης 2 ), where ς = e/(4πm) and this is gauge invariant except the exponential factor. We also find a spectral function in the Landau and Yennie like gauge. The propagators S(p) are e...

The purpose of this three-year study is to examine the effects of internet communication on second language acquisition. Specifically, we are interested in how communicating with native speakers of the target language may affect language learning, and how that contact interacts with different modes of electronic communication. The project is being conducted by a large American university (the P...

In this paper, we propose an approach for doing Gene Ontology (GO) annotation on full-text biomedical articles. This system explores the word proximity relationship between genes and GO terms. We associate genes and GO terms by considering the density function between gene-GO pairs in a paragraph. Different density models are built and several evaluation criteria are employed to assess the effe...
