Software performance prediction methods are typically validated by taking an appropriate software system, performing both performance predictions and performance measurements for that system, and comparing the results. The validation includes manual actions, which makes it feasible only for a small number of systems. To significantly increase the number of systems on which software performance ...

In this paper we present the dataset of 200,000+ political arguments produced in the local phase of the 2016 Chilean constitutional process. We describe the human processing of this data by the government officials, and the manual tagging of arguments performed by members of our research group. Afterwards we focus on classification tasks that mimic the human processes, comparing linear methods ...

In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed the diagnosis of "homosexuality" from the second edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). This resulted after comparing competing theories, those that pathologized homosexuality and those that viewed it as normal. In an effort to explain how that decision came about, this paper reviews some historical scientific theories...

Shell-rib structures made of textile-reinforced composites are used in a wide range applications to increase bending, buckling and torsional stiffness. Such usually manufactured differential construction at the preform level by assembling several textile or component subsequent joining separately shells stiffening structures. Integral production is one way overcome disadvantages forenamed metho...

The majority of research on extracting missing user attributes from social media profiles use costly hand-annotated labels for supervised learning. Distantly supervised methods exist, although these generally rely on knowledge gathered using external sources. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of gathering distant labels for self-reported gender on Twitter using simple queries. We confir...

The ACL Anthology is a large collection of research papers in computational linguistics. Citation data was obtained using text extraction from a collection of PDF files with significant manual post-processing performed to clean up the results. Manual annotation of the references was then performed to complete the citation network. We analyzed the networks of paper citations, author citations, a...

With further experience in the application of roentgen technics to surveying the female bony pelvis has come increased knowledge of the architecture of this structure and of its relation to the process of childbirth. For a considerable number of years such methods have been in use in our clinic and for the past five years they have been employed in the pelvic survey of every primigravid woman w...

BACKGROUND Adverse events are commonly observed in all parts of health care and have been reported extensively following manual therapy, including chiropractic. The majority of reported adverse events following chiropractic care are mild, transitory and self-limiting. However, little is known about patient filed compensation claims related to the chiropractic consultation process. The aim of th...

We propose a fully automatic technique for evaluating text summaries without the need to prepare the gold standard summaries manually. A standard and popular summary evaluation techniques or tools are not fully automatic; they all need some manual process or manual reference summary. Using recognizing textual entailment (TE), automatically generated summaries can be evaluated completely automat...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of manual and mechanical lymph drainage on the bioelectrical composition of body tissues of patients with lymphoedema of the lower limbs. METHOD Twenty-one patients with lymphoedema of one leg were evaluated using single frequency bioelectrical impedance with four electrodes (SF-BIA4) immediately before and after a combination of manual...
