In this paper, we present our Crossword Puzzle Resolution System (SACRY), which exploits syntactic structures for clue reranking and answer extraction. SACRY uses a database (DB) containing previously solved CPs in order to generate the list of candidate answers. Additionally, it uses innovative features, such as the answer position in the rank and aggregated information such as the min, max an...

Improving the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources matching (WLRM) cultivated use eco-efficiency (CLUE) is crucial to ensuring national food security constructing an ecological civilization. This study based on data of 71 prefecture-level cities in major grain-producing areas middle lower reaches Yangtze River from 2008 2020. The unit area resource method, slacks-based ...

We propose a novel visual clue for navigation, in which the local 3D information or (p, q) is summarised in a single structure, called pq-histogram. The pq-histogram is obtained by discretising in logarithmic scale the local depth (p, q). Since this histogram gives a global view of the scene, it could be used as a fast clue for navigation. An arrangement of four pq-histograms, one for each imag...

This paper discusses the generation of cryptic crossword clues: a task that involves generating texts that have both a surface reading, based on a natural language interpretation of the words, and a hidden meaning in which the strings that form the text can be interpreted as a puzzle. The process of clue generation realizes a representation of the hidden, puzzle meaning of the clue through the ...

Though cryptography is being used more and more widely in reality, it seems that there exists no scheme or a concatenation of some existing schemes that could deal soundly with such practical situations as providing a clue, where the provider of the clue may want to reserve his beneficial rights while keeping his identity secret. To address this problem, inspired by the two notions of the ring ...

In 4 experiments, the authors attempted to replicate an improvement in recall of target memories produced by a post-learning clue enabling participants to reorganize and segregate interfering material, as shown by G. H. Bower and T. Mann (1992). The 1st three experiments studied retroactive interference (RI) in free recall of an initial word list after participants were informed post-learning o...

Language modeling is a key component in speech and handwriting recognition. N-gram language modeling is used as the formalism of choice for a wide range of domains. Although a high order N can reduce perplexity greatly, it is unrealistic in many practical cases to get statistically reliable N -grams. We propose an interpolated model by introducing signal words and clue words into the baseline N...

BACKGROUND Currently known risk factors explain only a small fraction of preterm birth (PTB). Previous PTB is one of the most important predictors. However, this information is not available in primiparous women. Few studies have looked at associations between regulatory cytokine expression (RCE) and PTB and the results are conflicting. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of RCE-Interleu...
