This paper proposes an effective method to extract salient sentences using contextual information and statistical approaches for Text Summarization. The proposed method combines two consecutive sentences into a bi-gram pseudo sentence so that contextual information is applied to statistical sentence-extraction techniques. Salient bigram pseudo sentences are first selected by the statistical sen...

Every autonomous agent operating in realistic settings must deal with incomplete state information. Perceptual limitations often compromise system observability, and may prevent the acquisition of optimal control policies for a given task. This paper addresses the observability problem within the control composition framework, where the agent selects which policy to adopt next from a set of pre...

Signature-based intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have been widely deployed in network environments aiming to defend against different kinds of attacks. However, a large number of alarms, especially noncritical alarms could be generated during the detection, which can greatly lower the effectiveness of detection and increase the difficulty in analyzing the generated IDS alarms. The main reason...

The hippocampus is critical for forming new long-term memories, but the contributions of the hippocampal commissure (HC) to memory function and hippocampal synaptic plasticity are unclear. To shed light on this issue, we characterized behavioral memory and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in two inbred mouse strains. BALB/cWah1 mice display a range of corpus callosal defects and an intact HC, wh...

INTRODUCTION Context shapes behaviours yet is seldom considered when assessing competence. Our objective was to explore attending physicians' and trainees' perceptions of the Internal Medicine Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) environment and how they thought contextual factors affected their performance. METHOD 29 individuals recently completing CTU rotations participated in nine level-specific f...

Since synonyms are important lexical knowledge, various methods have been proposed for automatic synonym acquisition. Whereas most of the methods are based on the distributional hypothesis and utilize contextual clues, little attention has been paid to what kind of contextual information is useful for the purpose. As one of the ways to augment contextual information, we propose the use of indir...

This research is to discuss the effect of contextual interference and augmented feedback applied in improving golf putter skills by using literature materials, experimental research method, comparative research method and mathematical statistic, etc. It adopts the practice methods and feedback ways adapted by students to improve the golf performance. This text is to promote the practice methods...

Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic beverage that combines the action of the 5-HT2A/2C agonist N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) from Psychotria viridis with the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) induced by beta-carbonyls from Banisteriopsis caapi. Previous investigations have highlighted the involvement of ayahuasca with the activation of brain regions known to be involved with episodic memory, contex...

Contextual suggestion aims at recommending items to users given their current context, such as location-based tourist recommendations. Our contextual suggestion ranking model consists of two main components: selecting candidate suggestions and providing a ranked list of personalized suggestions. We focus on selecting appropriate suggestions from the ClueWeb12 collection using tourist domain kno...
