This paper gives an overview of the shared task at the ACL-HLT 2011 DiSCo (Distributional Semantics and Compositionality) workshop. We describe in detail the motivation for the shared task, the acquisition of datasets, the evaluation methodology and the results of participating systems. The task of assigning a numerical score for a phrase according to its compositionality showed to be hard. Man...

The emergence of women is seen as occurring very early when we examine the growth neuroscience and related sciences globally. From ancient Roman graves to present, there are numerous examples contributions made by in area medicine.

The aim of image restoration is to estimate the original image from an observation image degraded by blur and additive noise as much as possible. Different image restoration methods have developed by many researchers. The methods reviewed in this paper are Non Linear Total Variation, PDE noise removal algorithm, Hybrid image restoration and Wavelet Analysis method. These methods having some dra...

Hazard analysis plays an important role in the assurance of systems’ safety. As systems are getting bigger and more complex, hazard analysis approaches face difficulties with the amount of memory required for the analysis. Big systems are modeled with a modularized model, like UML component model. Those difficulties with memory can be conquered if the analyst utilizes the modularization of the ...

LUCIA, a new Italian talking head based on a modified version of the Cohen-Massaro’s labial coarticulation model is described. A semi-automatic minimization technique, working on real cinematic data, acquired by the ELITE optoelectronic system, was used to train the dynamic characteristics of the model. LUCIA is an MPEG-4 standard facial animation system working on standard FAP visual parameter...

in 1890, coley observed that cancer patients who developed infections had smaller tumors. from this, he developed coley’s toxin and treated tumors with injections of infectious materials. in 1960s,  mahaley used monoclonal antibodies to treat central nervous system(cns)  tumors, that research and clinical investigations in brain tumor immunotherapy became a serious undertaking. there are severa...
