Detecting and Attributing Health Burdens to Climate Change

Detecting and Attributing Health Burdens to Climate Change

BACKGROUND Detection and attribution of health impacts caused by climate change uses formal methods to determine a) whether the occurrence of adverse health outcomes has changed, and b) the extent to which that change could be attributed to climate change. There have been limited efforts to undertake detection and attribution analyses in health. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to show a range of appro...

Detecting and attributing Australian climate change: a review

Climate has always varied. In Australia, the impact of the El Niño – Southern Oscillation on variations in rainfall over centuries has been documented (e.g. Nicholls 1988, 1989). Other natural, internal processes also affect climate on different time-scales. As well, volcanic activity is known to cause cooling of the surface temperature, and variations in solar activity and orbital changes that...

Automatically Detecting and Attributing Indirect Quotations

Direct quotations are used for opinion mining and information extraction as they have an easy to extract span and they can be attributed to a speaker with high accuracy. However, simply focusing on direct quotations ignores around half of all reported speech, which is in the form of indirect or mixed speech. This work presents the first large-scale experiments in indirect and mixed quotation ex...
