The English 'Open Field' System

Porting an Open Information Extraction System from English to German

Many downstream NLP tasks can benefit from Open Information Extraction (Open IE) as a semantic representation. While Open IE systems are available for English, many other languages lack such tools. In this paper, we present a straightforward approach for adapting PropS, a rule-based predicate-argument analysis for English, to a new language, German. With this approach, we quickly obtain an Open...

Markov random field based English Part-Of-Speech tagging system

Probabilistic models have been widely used for natural language processing. Part-of-speech tagging, which assigns the most likely tag to each word in a given sentence, is one. of tire problems which can be solved by statisticM approach. Many researchers haw~ tried to solve the problem by hidden Marker model (HMM), which is well known as one of the statistical models. But it has many difficultie...

Remote laboratory and animal behaviour: An interactive open field system

Remote laboratories can provide distant learners with practical acquisitions which would otherwise remain precluded. Our proposal here is a remote laboratory on a behavioural test (open field test), with the aim of introducing learners to the observation and analysis of stereotyped behaviour in animals. A real-time video of a mouse in an experimental arena is streamed over the Internet from a s...

The open field of pharmacology.

Contemporary pharmacologists are in the same position as experimental animals in an open field test. Animals are placed on a large table and their interest in the surroundings may be measured by their number of explorative movements. In some modifications of this test the table is full of holes and the "curiosity" of the animals is evaluated by the number of times in which the animals put their...
