This paper describes a hybrid parsing method for Japanese which uses both a hand-crafted grammar and a statistical technique. The key feature of our system is that in order to estimate likelihood for a parse tree, the system uses information taken from alternative partial parse trees generated by the grammar. This utilization of alternative trees enables us to construct a new statistical model ...

Designing adaptive games for individual emotional experiences is an elaborate task due to the necessary dedicated hardware, complex signal processing and unique emotional bonds each player may forge with the game. The research work I propose focuses on developing a novel affective interaction scheme where players’ emotional reactions are learned by a computational model that leverages this info...

This paper reports on the evaluation of a trainable sentence planner. We compare a trainable sentence planner with a currently operational hand-crafted template-based generator, two rule-based generators and two baseline generators. We show that the trainable sentence planner performs as well as the hand-crafted generator and better than the rule-based and baseline generators. Evaluating a Trai...

an important determinant of health system performance is contracting. providers often respond to financial incentives, despite the ethical underpinnings of medicine, and payers can craft contracts to influence performance. yet contracting is highly imperfect in both single-payer and multi-payer health systems. arguably, in a competitive, multi-payer environment, contractual innovation may occur...

CNN can automatically learn discriminative local features and give superior performance than hand-crafted features in various applications such as image classification, semantic segmentation and object detection. CNN has also been applied to MRI brain image analysis and achieved state-of-the-art results for brain tumor region segmentation [3, 4], stroke lesion segmentation [4], and mircobleeds ...

The paper presents a novel concept for collaborative descriptors between deeply learned and hand-crafted features. To achieve this concept, we apply convolutional maps for pre-processing, namely the convovlutional maps are used as input of hand-crafted features. We recorded an increase in the performance rate of +17.06% (multiclass object recognition) and +24.71% (car detection) from grayscale ...

User-machine interaction is crucial for information retrieval, especially for spoken content retrieval, because spoken content is difficult to browse, and speech recognition has a high degree of uncertainty. In interactive retrieval, the machine takes different actions to interact with the user to obtain better retrieval results; here it is critical to select the most efficient action. In previ...

This paper proposes a corpus-based approach for answering why-questions. Conventional systems use hand-crafted patterns to extract and evaluate answer candidates. However, such hand-crafted patterns are likely to have low coverage of causal expressions, and it is also difficult to assign suitable weights to the patterns by hand. In our approach, causal expressions are automatically collected fr...
