Influenza: one or two more questions

Received wisdom has it that pathogens are not generally lethal to the hosts they normally infect, because they could not survive if they were. Pathogenicity thus becomes adapted to a level at which the host survives to become reinfected (or to produce young that become infected). The most notable example of such adaptation is in the herpesviruses, which have evolved a quite extraordinary repert...

RECENT FINDINGS Since the discovery of the genetic underpinnings of hypertrophic cardiomyopat...

Which is More Suitable for Chinese Word Segmentation , the Generative Model or the Discriminative One ? F ∗

Since the traditional word-based n-gram model, a generative approach, cannot handle those out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words in the testing-set, the character-based discriminative approach has been widely adopted recently. However, this discriminative model, though is more robust to OOV words, fails to deliver satisfactory performance for those in-vocabulary (IV) words that have been observed before...
