Recently there has been a lot of interest in Cross Language Sentiment Analysis (CLSA) using Machine Translation (MT) to facilitate Sentiment Analysis in resource deprived languages. The idea is to use the annotated resources of one language (say, L1) for performing Sentiment Analysis in another language (say, L2) which does not have annotated resources. The success of such a scheme crucially de...

Proof Mining consists in extracting from prima facie non-constructive proofs constructive information. For that purpose many techniques mostly based on negative translation, realizability, functional interpretation, A-translation and combinations thereof have been developed. After introducing various different approaches to Proof Mining we present an application of ‘monotone functional interpre...

Immunotherapy based on blockade of the programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis has shown promising clinical activity for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients; however, the most effective use of these agents in combination with conventional targeted therapy remains to be resolved. Here we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of the mTOR inhibitor everolim...

Inferring a bilingual dictionary L1>L3 given two bilingual dictionaries L1>L2 and L2>L3 is a non-trivial task, as seen in reports of large-scale, computationally-heavy experiments published in recent years (Soderland et al. (2009); Shezaf and Rappoport (2010)). Early works on this (cf. Tanaka and Umemura (1994)) have already noticed that the main obstacle in such inferences stems from the fact ...

Word association responses in fi rst-language (L1) Spanish and secondlanguage (L2) English were investigated by means of response latencies and types of associative response produced. The primary aims were to establish whether (a) some response types are produced more often or faster than others, (b) participants’ L2 response time profi les mirror those of their L1, and (c) participants’ L2 ass...

The present study examined early vocabulary development in fifty-nine French monolingual and fifty French-English bilingual infants (1;4-1;6). Vocabulary comprehension was assessed using both parental report (MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory; CDI) and the Computerized Comprehension Task (CCT). When assessing receptive vocabulary development using parental report, the bilingua...

The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative to the traditional division between cache and main memory: main memory is moved up a level and DRAM is used as a paging device. Earlier RAMpage work has shown that the RAMpage model scales up better with the growing CPU-DRAM speed gap, especially when context switches are taken on misses. This paper investigates the effect of more aggressive first-...

Expression of the structural proteins L1 and L2 of the human papillomaviruses (HPV) is tightly regulated. As a consequence, attempts to express these prime-candidate genes for prophylactic vaccination against papillomavirus-associated diseases in mammalian cells by means of simple DNA transfections result in insufficient production of the viral antigens. Similarly, in vivo DNA vaccination using...

Glioblastoma is an aggressive primary brain cancer. Given our interest in novel immunotherapies, we have recently shown that inhibiting CTLA-4, PD-L1 and IDO results in a dramatic survival advantage in mice with brain tumors. Our preclinical study supports the rapid translation of this approach into phase I clinical trial.
