Named Entity (NE) information is critical for Information Extraction (IE) tasks. However, the cost of manually annotating sufficient data for training purposes, especially for multiple languages, is prohibitive, meaning automated methods for developing resources are crucial. We investigate the automatic generation of NE annotated data in German from Wikipedia. By incorporating structural featur...

One of the central issues for information extraction (IE) systems is the cost of customization from one scenario to another. Research on the automated acquisition of patterns is important for portability and scalability. This paper explores the automatic extraction of patterns in Japanese from unannotated text. We introduce two modules of our system, the pattern extraction module and the inform...

Industrial Ethernet offers lower cost, higher performance, and superior interoperability over traditional industrial field bus solutions. Many variations of Ethernet technology have been developed to address the various cycle time requirements of industrial applications. As a result, industrial customers must support a myriad of evolving Industrial Ethernet (IE) standards. Today, each new proto...

Despite consensus in focus on form (FOF) instruction over the facilitative role of noticing, controversy has not quelled over ways of directing EFL learners’ attention towards formal features via implicit techniques like input-enhancement or explicit metacognitive feedback and interactive peer-editing on the output they produce. This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of input enh...

Background:   Primary bone lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone is a rare disease. There are only a few case series of stage IE of this condition in medical literature. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of survival   for stage IE after combined modality treatment, the rate of local recurrence, and the results of limb salvage in cases   of local recurrence.     Methods:   We col...

Background: Bridge deck inspection is essential task to monitor the health of the bridges. Condition monitoring and timely implementation of maintenance and rehabilitation procedures are needed to reduce future costs associated with bridge management. A number of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) technologies are currently used in bridge deck inspection and evaluation, including impact-echo (IE),...
