Budgerigars adopt robust, but idiosyncratic flight paths

Robust Named Entity Recognition in Idiosyncratic Domains

Named entity recognition often fails in idiosyncratic domains. That causes a problem for depending tasks, such as entity linking and relation extraction. We propose a generic and robust approach for high-recall named entity recognition. Our approach is easy to train and offers strong generalization over diverse domainspecific language, such as news documents (e.g. Reuters) or biomedical text (e...

Investigating the Idiosyncratic Learning Paths of Elite Canadian Coaches

Researchers have investigated how coaches, from the recreational to the elite level of coaching, learn to coach. Many different learning situations have been identified in the research, yet the question remains: How is it that one coach’s learning path emphasizes certain learning situations as key, and yet another coach’s learning path emphasizes quite different situations? Fifteen Canadian Oly...

Robust but Robust to What?*

Generalization is at the core of evaluation, we estimate the performance of a model on data we have never seen but expect to encounter later on. Our current evaluation procedures assume that the data already seen is a random sample of the domain from which all future data will be drawn. Unfortunately, in practical situations this is rarely the case. Changes in the underlying probabilities will ...

Direct Evidence for Vision-based Control of Flight Speed in Budgerigars

We have investigated whether, and, if so, how birds use vision to regulate the speed of their flight. Budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus, were filmed in 3-D using high-speed video cameras as they flew along a 25 m tunnel in which stationary or moving vertically oriented black and white stripes were projected on the side walls. We found that the birds increased their flight speed when the stri...
