Reducing DRAM Row Activations with Eager Writeback

The arc-eager system for transition-based dependency parsing is widely used in natural language processing despite the fact that it does not guarantee that the output is a well-formed dependency tree. We propose a simple modification to the original system that enforces the tree constraint without requiring any modification to the parser training procedure. Experiments on multiple languages sho...

We address the embedding existence problem (often referred to as the filtering problem) over streaming XML data for Conjunctive XPath (CXP). Ramanan (2009) considered Downward CXP, a fragment of CXP that involves downward navigational axes only, and presented a streaming algorithm which solves the problem in O(|P ||D|) time using only O(|P |height(D)) bits of space, where |P | and |D| are the s...

MapReduce has emerged as a commonly-used programming model for large-scale distributed environments. While the underlying programming model based on maps and reductions has been shown to be effective in specific domains, significant questions relating to performance and application scope remain unresolved. This paper targets key questions of performance through relaxed semantics of underlying m...

We present a new transition system with word reordering for unrestricted nonprojective dependency parsing. Our system is based on decomposed arc-eager rather than arc-standard, which allows more flexible ambiguity resolution between a local projective and non-local crossing attachment. In our experiment on Universal Dependencies 2.0, we find our parser outperforms the ordinary swapbased parser ...

A shifting pattern from communicable diseases to the chronic noncommunicable diseases and increased life expectancy are being sensed throughout the world. Aged populations with multiple chronic diseases come up with their unique needs and require specific attention to be challenged by the health systems. Neglected orodental facts among the elders and the dearth of specific designated undergradu...

Background and aims: Life expectancy is one of the most important indicators of health and well-being of a society. Since it is claimed that in Aran-Bidgol region, center of Iran, life expectancy is higher than the average of the country, this study was designed. Methods: During a cross-sectional study, population and mortality data of Kashan University o...

In the aging society, the need for the elderly to remain mobile and independent is higher than ever. However, many aids supporting mobility often fail to target real needs and lack acceptance. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how value-based design can contribute to the design of mobility aids that address real needs and thus, lead to high acceptance. We elicited values, facilitators, an...
