This article investigates the effectiveness of voting and stacked generalization -also known as stackingin the context of information extraction (IE). A new stacking framework is proposed that accommodates well-known approaches for IE. The key idea is to perform cross-validation on the base-level data set, which consists of text documents annotated with relevant information, in order to create ...

Scooters that resemble each other are used in various areas in Asia. You may wonder users in different areas have what images they have toward scooters. It will be constructive to learn exactly what styles users want scooters to have based on rational analysis. The purpose of this study is to define what images scooters have in different regions and to estimate specific styles they are required...

The existing scholarship on Second Language Acquisition is replete with different tensions and debates, which reflect diverging epistemologies, theoretical bases and schools of thought. This paper deals with the current issues surrounding the two major and salient approaches to Second Language Acquisition, the cognitive/psycholinguistic camp and the sociocultural camp. After providing an overvi...

Accepted on 25 th August 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Synthesis of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) employed by using condensation methods. Purity was monitored by TLC and column chromatographic techniques. In this present study cyclic voltammetric behavior of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) were studied. The cyclic voltammetric studie...

If we take a look at current cloud computing services, the only quality guarantee they provide are vague Service Level Agreements(SLA). In this paper we modelled some non-functional aspects in an ontology and used this ontology as a knowledge base to generate an excerpt from a service contract. We concentrate in this excerpt on availability as it is one of the most discussed attributes in curre...

This paper describes affective and psychophysiological foundations used to help to control affective content in music production. Our work includes the proposal of a knowledge base grounded on the state of the art done in areas of Music Psychology. This knowledge base has relations between affective states (happiness, sadness, etc.) and high level music features (rhythm, melody, etc.) to assist...

Abstract. Feature-based sentiment analysis can be realized on di↵erent types of object features. Some of these features might be about technical aspects of the objects and some others might be application-oriented features. The application-oriented features are more abstract features and can be of interest to the broad number of people than only the technical experts of specific products. In th...

Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used as a measure of neuronal activity, despite an incomplete understanding of the hemodynamic and neural bases for BOLD signals. Recent work by Lee and colleagues investigated whether activating genetically specified neurons elicits BOLD responses. Integrating optogenetic control of specific cells a...

We present Scilog, an experimental knowledge base to facilitate scientific discovery and reasoning. Scilog extends Prolog by supporting (1) dedicated predicates for specifying and querying knowledge about scientific processes, (2) the different scales at which processes may be manifested, and (3) the domains to which values belong. Scilog is meant to invoke more specialized algorithms and to be...

A number of behavioural phenomena distinguish the recognition of faces and objects, even when members of a set of objects are highly similar. Because faces have the same parts in approximately the same relations, individuation of faces typically requires specification of the metric variation in a holistic and integral representation of the facial surface. The direct mapping of a hypercolumn-lik...
