We explore how features based on syntactic dependency relations can be utilized to improve performance on opinion mining. Using a transformation of dependency relation triples, we convert them into “composite back-off features” that generalize better than the regular lexicalized dependency relation features. Experiments comparing our approach with several other approaches that generalize depend...

This document presents different tools to represent and manipulate infinitsets of tree tuples called tree tuple languages. We choose logic programming as formalismto describe tree tuple languages (i.e relations) and logic program transformation techniquesfor computing operations on them. In a first step we study a class of relation closed underusual sets operations, the class of...

We explore twoor three-class association schemes. We study aspects of the structure of the relation graphs in association schemes which are not easily revealed by their parameters and spectra. The purpose is to develop some combinatorial methods to characterize the graphs and classify the association schemes, and also to delve deeply into several specific classification problems. We work with s...

in a recent paper, de baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. in this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. the reasoninglargely ...

In this note we introduce a new equivalence relation θ∗ on a (semi)hyperring R and we show that it is strongly regular. Also we prove that, R/θ∗, the equivalence class of this equivalence relation under usual operations consists a commutative (semi-)ring. Finally we introduce the notion of θ-parts of hyperrings and investigate the important properties of them. Mathematics Subject Classification...

Objective(s): The protective effect of regular running on sleep deprivation (SD)-induced cognitive impairment has been revealed. In this study, we focused on the effects of regular exercise, sleep deprivation and both of them together on the microRNA-1b (miR-1b) expression and their relation to the behavioral parameters and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expr...

in this paper we study the existence of commuting regular elements, verifying the notion left (right) commuting regular elements and its properties in the groupoid g(n) . also we show that g(n) contains commuting regular subsemigroup and give a necessary and sucient condition for the groupoid g(n) to be commuting regular.
