Approaches to plural reference generation emphasise simplicity and brevity, but often lack empirical backing. This paper describes a corpusbased study of plural descriptions, and proposes a psycholinguistically-motivated algorithm for plural reference generation. The descriptive strategy is based on partitioning. An exhaustive evaluation shows that the output closely matches human data.

Social media messages’ brevity and unconventional spelling pose a challenge to language identification. We introduce a hierarchical model that learns character and contextualized word-level representations for language identification. Our method performs well against strong baselines, and can also reveal code-switching.

This documents contains proofs that for the sake of brevity have been omitted from the paper " Endogenous Comparative Advantage, " additional calculations, and a discussion about empirical evidence supporting some implications of the model. To make the derivations self-contained some equations have been duplicated from the main paper.

The use of eponyms in medicine is often discouraged. However, the literary eponym should be an exception as it is not linked with many of the difficulties associated with conventional eponyms and offers descriptive brevity and accuracy. Here, we illustrate the point with Henry V sign, which will be familiar to many who have cared for patients in the terminal stage of illness.

This document presents supplementary results to paper [2], excluded from that paper for reasons of brevity. Results are presented on three data sets: Ionosphere, Credit and Sonar. All are originally sourced from the UCI Machine Learning Repository [1] – the versions used for these experiments are available from http://www.andrew1.hunter/durham.ac.uk/LogPoly/. Results summarize algorithm perform...

. . . problems against the larger spectrum of general medicine." They have done this with almost the brevity of an abstract, yet with the clarity of a fuller presentation. The ample illustrations are well chosen and cleanly executed. Good bibliographies are supplied. The volume represents good current urological thinking and may be recommended as a manual for students and a reference for practi...
