There has been much interest in applying techniques that incorporate knowledge from unlabelled data into a supervised learning system but less effort has been made to compare the effectiveness of different approaches on real world problems and to analyse the behaviour of the learning system when using different amount of unlabelled data. In this paper an analysis of the performance of supervise...

We describe a theory of labelled structures, which intuitively consist of a labelled shape together with a mapping from labels to data. Labelled structures thus subsume algebraic data types as well as “labelled” types such as arrays and finite maps. This idea of decomposing container structures into shapes and data is an old one; our novel contribution is to explicitly mediate the decomposition...

The aim of this paper is to explore modelling a more non standard interaction between a human and a database We try to equip the database with the capability of understand ing queries in natural language and answering them in a more intelligent manner than by mere yes no factual answers This capability of the database requires at least two compo nents First the database must possess a front end...

The increase in VLDL TAG concentration after ingestion of a high-fructose diet is more pronounced in men than in pre-menopausal women. We hypothesised that this may be due to a lower fructose-induced stimulation of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in pre-menopausal women. To evaluate this hypothesis, nine healthy male and nine healthy female subjects were studied after ingestion of oral loads of fruct...

Monoterpene (MT) emissions of conifer tree species, emitted from de novo synthesis and storage pools, play an important role in plant ecology and physiology. During drought stress both emission sources are affected differently and with conventional measuring techniques they are difficult to separate. We investigated 13C labelled MT emission of eight 3-year-old Scots pine seedlings in a drought ...

In volume visualization, the definition of the regions of interest is inherently an iterative trial-and-error process finding out the best parameters to classify and render the final image. Generally, the user requires a lot of expertise to analyze and edit these parameters through multi-dimensional transfer functions. In this paper, we present a framework of intelligent methods to label on-dem...

The purpose of this study is to conduct an examination based on pre-service teachers' beliefs about the theoretical content teacher education programmes. research was carried out with a basic qualitative design. group determined criterion sampling method, which one purposive methods. consisted 134 teachers studying in three different programmes their eighth semester. Analyses were performed bel...
