This paper introduces a Czech dataset for semantic similarity and semantic relatedness. The dataset contains word pairs with hand annotated scores that indicate the semantic similarity and semantic relatedness of the words. The dataset contains 953 word pairs compiled from 9 different sources. It contains words and their contexts taken from real text corpora including extra examples when the wo...

No-reference image quality metrics are of fundamental interest as they can be embedded in practical applications. The main goal of this paper is to perform a comparative study of seven well known no-reference learning-based image quality algorithms. To test the performance of these algorithms, three public databases are used. As a first step, the trial algorithms are compared when no new learni...

Chinese word similarity computing is a fundamental task for natural language processing. This paper presents a method to calculate the similarity between Chinese words based on combination strategy. We apply Baidubaike to train Word2Vector model, and then integrate different methods, Dictionarybased method, Word2Vector-based method and Chinese FrameNet (CFN)based method, to calculate the semant...

In this paper, we present a set of computational methods to identify the likeliness of a word being borrowed, based on the signals from social media. In terms of Spearman correlation coefficient values, our methods perform more than two times better (nearly 0.62) in predicting the borrowing likeliness compared to the best performing baseline (nearly 0.26) reported in literature. Based on this l...

OBJECTIVE To translate into Arabic and validate the SF-36 quality of life index in a Tunisian Arabic population. BACKGROUND No validated Arabic quality of life index is published. DESIGN Arabic translation of the SF-36 scale was obtained by the "forward/backward translation" method. Adaptations were made after a pilot study involving 22 subjects from general population. Inter-rater reliabil...

BACKGROUND There is debate as to whether the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and insulin resistance is independent of body fatness, particularly central obesity. Therefore, the association among CRP, insulin resistance and obesity was analyzed in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The study included 520 Chinese patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with CRP levels n...

One of the important abilities of learners is to monitor their own learning process and take charge of their development. To this end and based on the correlational nature of the study design, total of 125 students (for the Winter semester of 2017) educating at Zanjan Universities (89 B.A. students of Islamic Azad University and 60 B.A. students of Payam-e-Noor University) were chosen as the st...

Online learning to be done only through homework remote assignments without feedback or interaction with students. In this way, if continuously it can increase stress on If cannot controlled, affect emotional eating. To determine the correlation between in online and eating among students at Ngudi Waluyo University. This type of research is descriptive correlational. The population all Health F...
