Event extraction has become one of the most important topics in information extraction, but to date, there is very limited work on leveraging cross-lingual training to boost performance. We propose a new event extraction approach that trains on multiple languages using a combination of both language-dependent and language-independent features, with particular focus on the case where target doma...

Recurrent event data occur in many clinical and observational studies, and in these situations, there may exist a terminal event such as death that is related to the recurrent event of interest. In addition, sometimes more than one type of recurrent events may occur, that is, one may encounter multivariate recurrent event data with some dependent terminal event. For the analysis of such data, o...

Opacity is an important information-flow security property that characterizes the plausible deniability of a dynamic system for its “secret” against eavesdropping attacks. As property, underlying observation model key in modeling and analysis opacity. In this paper, we investigate verification current-state opacity discrete-event systems under Orwellian-type observations, i.e., allowed to re-in...

Investing to optimally maximize the growth rate of wealth based on sequences of event outcomes has many information-theoretic interpretations. Namely, the mutual information characterizes the benefit of additional side information being available when making investment decisions [1] in settings where the probabilistic relationships between side information and event outcomes are known. Addition...

We study hereditary history-preserving (hhp-) bisimilarity, a canonical behavioural equivalence in the true concurrent spectrum, by means of logics and automata. We first show that hhp-bisimilarity on prime event structures can be characterised in terms of a simple logic whose formulae just observe events in computations and check their executability. The logic suggests a characterisation of hh...

Networked control systems often send information across the communication network in a periodic manner. The selected period, however, must assure adequate system performance over a wide range of operating conditions and this conservative choice may result in significant over-provisioning of the communication network. This observation has motivated the use of sporadic transmission across the net...

In this article we introduce a general approach to dynamic path analysis. This is an extension of classical path analysis to the situation where variables may be time-dependent and where the outcome of main interest is a stochastic process. In particular we will focus on the survival and event history analysis setting where the main outcome is a counting process. Our approach will be especially...

Zerumbone is a cytotoxic compound isolated from the herbal plant, Zingiber zerumbet Smith, which exhibits antitumor activity [1-2], anti-inflammatory effects and possesses anti-proliferative potentials in a variety of cell lines [3-4]. DNA fragmentation indicates an early event of apoptosis leading to cell death due to the absence of new cellular proteins synthesizing for cell survival. Previou...
