Traditional information extraction systems adopt pipeline strategies, which are highly ineffective and suffer from several problems such as error propagation. Typically, pipeline models fail to produce highly-accurate final output. On the other hand, there has been growing interest in integrated or joint models which explore mutual benefits and perform multiple subtasks simultaneously to avoid ...

Conditions for the occurrence of bidirectional collisions are developed based on the Simon-Gutowitz bidirectional traffic model. Three types of dangerous situations can occur in this model. We analyze those corresponding to head-on collision, rear-end collision and lane-changing collision. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we compute the probability of the occurrence of these collisions for differ...

A bidirectional converter (BDC) is required in areas where generated energy is stored. Some of the application areas are uninterruptible power system, transportation,, flywheel energy storage systems, etc. Bidirectional flow of power using buck mode and boost mode along with efficiency and high power density is important need of such systems. This report proposes a new topology of BDC with the ...

We present a type system extending the dependent type theory LF, whose terms are more amenable to compact representation. This is achieved by carefully omitting certain subterms which are redundant in the sense that they can be recovered from the types of other subterms. This system is capable of omitting more redundant information than previous work in the same vein, because of its uniform tre...

background: we sought to assess right ventricular (rv) systolic and diastolic functions via tissue doppler imaging (tdi) in order to discriminate right-to-left (bidirectional) from left-to-right intracardiac shunts. methods: a tissue doppler velocity study via doppler echocardiography was performed in 20 patients with left-to-right shunt (without evidence of significant pulmonary hypertension) ...

In this talk we study how to route online splittable flows in bidirectional ring networks to minimize maximum load. We show that the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm for this problem is at least 2−2/n, where n is the size of the ring, and that the online algorithm that splits each flow inversely proportionally to the length of the flow’s shortest path achieves this compet...

This paper investigates the steady hydromagnetic three-dimensional boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid over a bidirectional stretching surface. Both cases of prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed surface heat flux (PHF) are considered. Computations are made for the velocities and temperatures. Results are plotted and analyzed for PST and PHF cases. Convergence analysis is present...

A bidirectional single-electron counting device is demonstrated. Individual electrons flowing in forward and reverse directions through a double quantum dot are detected with a quantum point contact acting as a charge sensor. A comprehensive statistical analysis in the frequency and time domains and of higher order moments of noise reveals antibunching correlation in single-electron transport t...

Periodic patterns of synchrony are lattice networks whose cells are coloured according to a local rule, or balanced colouring, and such that the overall system has spatial periodicity. These patterns depict the finite-dimensional flow-invariant subspaces for all the lattice dynamical systems, in the given lattice network, that exhibit those periods. Previous results relate the existence of peri...

Deep networks have shown great performance in classification tasks. However, the parameters learned by the classifier networks usually discard stylistic information of the input, in favour of information strictly relevant to classification. We introduce a network that has the capacity to do both classification and reconstruction by adding a “style memory” to the output layer of the network. We ...
