Chinese Abbreviation Identification Using Abbreviation-Template

Chinese abbreviations are frequently used without being defined, which has brought much difficulty into NLP. In this study, the definition-independent abbreviation identification problem is proposed and resolved as a classification task in which abbreviation candidates are classified as either ‘abbreviation’ or ‘non-abbreviation’ according to the posterior probability. To meet our aim of identi...

Reduction by well-defined objectives.

Examination of programmes of experimental work involving live animals indicates scope for worthwhile reduction in animal usage by identifying more clearly the objectives of the different stages of a programme. Having a defined first objective for new or transferred methodology as "to optimise the methods", rather than an exploratory "try it with a few animals and modify" approach, is more likel...

Well-Defined Stochastic Petri Nets

Formalisms based on stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) can employ structural analysis to ensure that the underlying stochastic process is fully determined. The focus is on the detection of conflicts and confusions at the net level, but this might require to overspecify a given SPN model. The problem becomes even more critical when reward processes of interest derived from the basic underlying process...
