We propose a solution to the challenge of the CoNLL 2008 shared task that uses a generative history-based latent variable model to predict the most likely derivation of a synchronous dependency parser for both syntactic and semantic dependencies. The submitted model yields 79.1% macroaverage F1 performance, for the joint task, 86.9% syntactic dependencies LAS and 71.0% semantic dependencies F1....

Latent/manifest latent nystagmus (LMLN) is a specific type of infantile nystag­ mus that occurs subsequent to strabismus in some patients.1.2 The amplitude of LMLN usually follows Alexander's law, increasing as the fixating eye moves into abduction and decreasing in adduction. 1 The slow phases of LMLN may be either linear or of decreasing velocity in the same patient. 3 Depending on the slow-p...

Active tuberculosis (TB) in the UK predominantly affects the non-UK born, but is generally not manifest at the time of UK entry. Strategies to detect latent TB infection (LTBI) in this population are, therefore, important. To date, targeted screening has focused on TB risk estimates based on the incidence in the country of origin. Using TB incidence in the UK and migration data, we estimated th...

We propose a view-constrained latent variable model for multi-view facial expression classification. In this model, we first learn a discriminative manifold shared by multiple views of facial expressions, followed by the expression classification in the shared manifold. For learning, we use the expression data from multiple views, however, the inference is performed using the data from a single...

This paper describes Scorpio, the ILLCUvA Adaptation System submitted to the IT-DOMAIN translation task at WMT 2016, which participated with the language pair of English-Dutch. This system consolidates the ideas in our previous work on latent variable models for adaptation, and demonstrates their effectiveness in a competitive setting.

In a previous communication (Greval, Sen Gupta and Das, 1938) it was shown that (?') latent syphilis was encountered in an unselected hospital population rather infrequently, (w) that many conditions other than syphilis were responsible for a positive Wassermann reaction, and that (in) the Wassermann-positive rate in an unselected Indian population was likely to be under 10.25 per cent rather t...

Novel methods for identifying a new type of DNA latent periodicity, called latent profile periodicity or latent profility, are used to search for periodic structures in genes. These methods reveal two distinct levels of organization of genetic information encoding. It is shown that latent profility in genes may correlate with specific structural features of their encoded proteins.

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is released from cells in a latent form consisting of the mature growth factor associated with an aminoterminal propeptide and latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP). The endogenous activation of latent TGF-beta has been described in co-cultures of endothelial and smooth muscle cells. However, the mechanism of this activation remains unknown. Antibodie...
