We propose a simple yet robust stochastic answer network (SAN) that simulates multistep reasoning in machine reading comprehension. Compared to previous work such as ReasoNet, the unique feature is the use of a kind of stochastic prediction dropout on the answer module (final layer) of the neural network during the training. We show that this simple trick improves robustness and achieves result...

Obstetric flying squads operate from most maternity units in the United Kingdom. The 20 years from 1965 to 1984 saw 860 calls being made to the obstetric flying squad in the Liverpool urban area, with striking changes occurring in both the number of calls made and the reasons for making the calls. Management of the problems encountered has now become almost exclusively conservative, with such p...

Facial expressions are a kind of nonverbal communication. They carry the state of emotion of a person. Facial expression plays an important role in face-to face human-computer communication. Automatic facial expression synthesis became popular research area nowadays. It can be used in many areas such that physiology, education, murder squad, analysis of tendency to crime to get a clue about men...

We implement multi-perspective context matching for the task of questionanswering on the SQuAD dataset and explore a variety of modifications to this core architecture. In our first modification, we compare the performance of GRUs with that of LSTMs in the original model. Next we attempt to predict the answer’s start index and length rather than its start and end indices. Finally, we introduce ...

Abstract—We introduce a new class of FSSP (firing squad synchronization problem) algorithms based on recursive-halving and construct a survey on recent developments in FSSP algorithms for one-dimensional cellular arrays. We present herein a comparison of the quantitative aspects of the optimum-time FSSP algorithms developed so far. Several state-efficient new implementations and new insights in...

Links between overuse injury prevalence in triathletes training for 1.5km, 40km, 10km triathlon and both intrinsic and extrinsic factors were assessed in 12 Elite, 17 Development and 87 male Club triathletes by a five year retrospective questionnaire. Elite, Development and Club triathletes differed in training mileage, duration and number of workouts but not in overall injury prevalence, distr...

Most distributed operating systems are built with a kernel replicated in each machine that supports only basic interprocess communication (IPC) and process control. All other system services, such as memory management, file system, and name service, are distributed in a set of utility servers, which are ordinary processes (except perhaps for some privileges) residing at various machines. Design...

We propose two novel extensions to the Match-LSTM Boundary model for question answering on the SQuAD dataset. First we propose doing attention in the passage and question encoders. Second we propose adding a one-way conditional dependency between start-of-span and end-of-span prediction. In our evaluations, we show that these extensions result in a model that outperforms our implementation of v...
