We present a classifier that discriminates between types of corrections made by teachers of English in student essays. We define a set of linguistically motivated feature templates for a log-linear classification model, train this classifier on sentence pairs extracted from the Cambridge Learner Corpus, and achieve 89% accuracy improving upon a 33% baseline. Furthermore, we incorporate our clas...

PURPOSE To determine the size and regional distribution of lipoprotein-like particles (LLPs) that accumulate with age in Bruch's membrane (BrM). METHODS The quick-freeze/deep-etch method was used to prepare specimens of human BrM (age range, 27-78) for electron microscopic examination. Stereologic methods were used to analyze the resultant micrographs and determine the age-related changes of ...

We compare two ways of modeling Calvo-type wage stickiness. One in which each household is the monopolistic supplier of a differentiated type of labor input (as in Erceg, et al., 2000) and one in which households supply a homogenous labor input that is transformed by monopolistically competitive labor unions into a differentiated labor input (as in Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe, 2006a,b). We show tha...

Dependencies in DNA sequencies are frequently modeled using Markov models. A possible approach is to treat the observed transition tables for each one of the orders to be tested as a contingency table and use log-linear models to test order and stationarity of the chain. One problem that arises in this process is that the null hypotheses to be tested are systematically rejected due to the large...

We present and study a functional calculus similar to Levy’s CallBy-Push-Value lambda-calculus, extended with fix-points and recursive types. We explain its connection with Linear Logic by presenting a denotational interpretation of the language in any model of Linear Logic equipped with a notion of embedding retraction pairs. We consider the particular case of the Scott model of Linear Logic f...

Abstract: We introduce and study distributions of sets of binary variables that are symmetric, that is each has equally probable levels. The joint distribution of these special types of binary variables, if generated by a recursive process of linear main effects is essentially parametrized in terms of marginal correlations. This contrasts with the log-linear formulation of joint probabilities i...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucosal condition commonly encountered in dental practice. Lichen planus is believed to represent an abnormal immune response in which epithelial cells are recognized as foreign, secondary to changes in the antigenicity of the cell surface. It has various oral manifestations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of microcir...

The normal curve has been used to fit the rate of both world and US oil production. In this article we give the first theoretical basis for these curve fittings. It is well known that oil field sizes can be modeled by independent samples from a lognormal distribution. We show that when field sizes are lognormally distributed, the starting time of the production of a field is approximately a lin...

Most state-of-the-art systems today produce morphological analysis based only on orthographic patterns. In contrast, we propose a model for unsupervised morphological analysis that integrates orthographic and semantic views of words. We model word formation in terms of morphological chains, from base words to the observed words, breaking the chains into parent-child relations. We use log-linear...
