Aspects of Chinese syntax result in a distinctive mix of parsing challenges. However, the contribution of individual sources of error to overall difficulty is not well understood. We conduct a comprehensive automatic analysis of error types made by Chinese parsers, covering a broad range of error types for large sets of sentences, enabling the first empirical ranking of Chinese error types by t...

In a group testing scheme, a set of tests is designed to identify a small number t of defective items among a large set (of size N ) of items. In the non-adaptive scenario the set of tests has to be designed in one-shot. In this setting, designing a testing scheme is equivalent to the construction of a disjunct matrix, an M × N matrix where the union of supports of any t columns does not contai...

In this paper, we consider distributed testing problems with interactive encoders, which allow interactive communications among encoders so that each encoder can utilize messages from other encoders for encoding. We first focus on a special case of testing against independence and design a scheme that enables each encoder to take advantage of extra information from other encoders for encoding. ...

In this chapter, global motion estimation and its applications are given. Firstly we give the definitions of global motion and global motion estimation. Secondly, the parametric representations of global motion models are provided. Thirdly, global estimation approaches including pixel domain based global motion estimation, hierarchical global motion estimation, partial pixel set based global mo...

In this paper, the problem of error control of stepwise multiple testing procedures is considered. For two-sided hypotheses, control of both type 1 and type 3 (or directional) errors is required, and thus mixed directional familywise error rate control and mixed directional false discovery rate control are each considered by incorporating both types of errors in the error rate. Mixed directiona...

medication errors have important effects on increased length of hospitalization, increased mortality and costs. we assessed the incidence of medication errors and characterize the error types in an emergency department in a large teaching hospital in tehran. we also investigated the effect of emergency department pharmacists on patient safety with regard to recovery of potentially harmful medic...
