Adam Kilgarriff

A long time ago now (maybe 1988?), Gerald (Gazdar) and I supervised Adam’s DPhil at the University of Sussex. Adam was my age, give or take a year, having come to academia a little late, and was my first doctoral student. Adam’s topic was polysemy, and I’m not really sure that much supervision was actually required, though I recall fun exchanges trying to model the subtleties of word meaning us...

An overview The picture that emerges when one looks at the global situation for funding in ecology and evolution is that, while all biological research is suffering, these fields are faring somewhat worse. Surprisingly, this is despite the fact that research in evolution and ecology will be vital if we are to stand a chance of solving the problem of increasing numbers of humans on a planet that...

Engaging Strategies in Adam Bede

One of the narrative strategies employed in different ways by men and women writers is the presentation of narrator. The significance of narrator is so much that it differentiates between the realistic and non-realistic fiction and specifically men's and women's writings in realistic fiction. Robyn R Warhol's theory based on Genette's is applied to Adam Bede by George Eliot to focus on woman as...

Normalized Direction-preserving Adam

Optimization algorithms for training deep models not only affects the convergence rate and stability of the training process, but are also highly related to the generalization performance of the models. While adaptive algorithms, such as Adam and RMSprop, have shown better optimization performance than stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in many scenarios, they often lead to worse generalization ...
