The question of animal culture.
In this paper I consider whether traditional behaviors of animals, like traditions of humans, are transmitted by imitation learning. Review of the literature on problem solving by captive primates, and detailed consideration of two widely cited instances of purported learning by imitation and of culture in free-living primates (sweet-potato washing by Japanese macaques and termite fishing by ch...
متن کاملHofer’s question on intermediate symplectic capacities
Roughly twenty five years ago Hofer asked: can the cylinder B2(1)×R2(n−1) be symplectically embedded into B2(n−1)(R)×R2 for some R > 0? We show that this is the case if R > √ 2n−1 + 2n−2 − 2. We deduce that there are no intermediate capacities, between 1-capacities, first constructed by Gromov in 1985, and n-capacities, answering another question of Hofer. In 2008, Guth reached the same conclus...
متن کاملQuestion of the Animal-Plant-Fungal Divergence
There has been a controversial issue in phylogenetic relationships among animals, fungi, and plants. Before Whittaker and Margulis (1 ) classified the fungi as a separate kingdom in their five-kingdom classification, fungi traditionally had been considered more closely related to plants than to animals. With the determination of the primary structures of small subunit rRNA and the proteins like...
متن کاملThe Role of Technical Terminology in Question Answering
Terminology is arguably the most vital linguistic unit of technical documentation. Characterising the content of documents by the terminology they contain is a key factor in satisfactory document retrieval. But when users require answers rather than documents, more complex strategies for exploiting terminology are needed. Dealing effectively with this problem requires not only good techniques f...
متن کاملQuestion Answering in Terminology-Rich Technical Domains
The current tendency in Question Answering is towards the processing of large volumes of opendomain text. This inclination is spurred by the creation of the Question Answering track in TREC, and the recent increase of systems that use the Web to extract the answers to the questions. This undoubtedly has the advantage that narrow, application-specific concerns can be overlooked in favour of more...
