Protein-protein interaction plays an important role in understanding biological processes. In order to resolve the parsing error resulted from modal verb phrases and the noise interference brought by appositive dependency, an improved tree kernel-based PPI extraction method is proposed in this paper. Both modal verbs and appositive dependency features are considered to define some relevant proc...

Annotated corpora such as treebanks are important for the development of parsers, language applications as well as understanding of the language itself. Only very few languages possess these scarce resources. In this paper, we describe our efforts in syntactically annotating a small corpora (600 sentences) of Tamil language. Our annotation is similar to Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) and cons...

Cloud computing has made the dream of scalability of resources on demand come true. As the usage of the resources on the cloud involves cost, their optimal utilization is vital. Various scheduling algorithms are being designed and implemented seamlessly to achieve this goal. One of the factors that have a high impact on the scheduling algorithm design is the dependency of the tasks. Dependency ...

Understanding chemical-disease relations (CDR) from biomedical literature is important for biomedical research and chemical discovery. This paper uses a k-max pooling convolutional neural network (CNN) to exploit word sequences and dependency structures for CDR extraction. Furthermore, an effective weighted context method is proposed to capture semantic information of word sequences. Our system...

The paper aims at using the Conceptual Dependency (CD) Theory [4] (Schank, 1975), to represent dependency amongst words in Marathi sentences. Context is the set of circumstances, time, place, background and the environment within which something takes place. Text has sense and words have meanings. The way a word is used with the text, determines its sense. Context sensitivity is inherent in nat...

This study examines the meaning of dependency on care as experienced by intensive care patients. Literature on the subject is sparse, but research from nonintensive settings shows that dependency is often experienced negatively. The study is based on in-depth qualitative semistructured interviews with three former patients characterized as narratives. The analysis is inspired by a phenomenologi...

This paper provides an analysis of the representation of various grammatical phenomena in both constituency structure and dependency structure (hereafter c-structure and d-structure), including agreement, case marking, and word order in transitive sentences, as well as three theoretical constructs, and the interface between the form of a sentence and its meaning. There is a crucial structural r...
