Human-computer dialogue is already a rather mature research eld [10] that already stemmed to several commercial applications, either service or taskoriented [11]. Nevertheless, several issues remain to be tackled, when unrestricted, spontaneous dialogue is concerned: barge-in (when users interrupt the system or interrupt each other) must be properly handled, hence Voice Activity Detection is a ...

Resprouting multi-stemmed woody plants form an important component of the woody vegetation in many ecosystems, but a clear methodology for reliable measurement of their size and quick, non-destructive estimation of their woody biomass and carbon stock is lacking. Our goal was to find a minimum number of sprouts, i.e., the most easily obtainable, and sprout parameters that should be measured for...

Abstract This paper presents a method for the digital history of discipline (social psychology in this application) through analysis scientific publications. The titles comprehensive set papers published Journal Personality and Social Psychology (1965–2021) were collected, yielding total 10,222 items. corpus thus constructed underwent several stages preprocessing until final conversion into ter...

This study aims to determine the battery electric bus service and charging strategy minimize total operational cost of transit system, where incurred by degradation non-linear profile is taken into account. We formulate a set partitioning model for this problem, subject predefined trip schedule limited facilities. A tailored branch-and-price approach then proposed find global optimal solution. ...

The C/NC value method combines linguistic and statistical information for the automatic extraction of multi-word technical terms from machine readable corpora. C-value enhances the commonly used statistical measure of frequency of occurrence for term extraction, making it sensitive to a particular type of multi-word terms, nested terms. Nested terms are those which also exist as substrings of o...

Muscular articulations in modern stalked crinoids are only present in the arms. Although it has been suggested that certain coiled-stemmed fossil taxa may have been functionally adapted to utilize muscles, evidence supporting this interpretation is lacking. Here, we use cathodoluminescence and SEM to reveal the skeletal microstructure of the enigmatic coiled-stemmed taxon Ammonicrinus (Flexibil...

The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), is a key pest of wheat in the northern Great Plains of North America. Host plant resistance in the form of solid-stemmed wheat cultivars is the main control strategy for C. cinctus. This study investigated the effect of novel and traditional solid wheat hosts on the overwintering mortality and cold-hardiness of C. cinctus. Fi...

This paper presents and compares three feature reduction techniques that were applied to Arabic text. The techniques include stemming, light stemming, and word clusters. The effects of the aforementioned techniques were studied and analyzed on the K-nearest-neighbor classifier. Stemming reduces words to their stems. Light stemming,by comparison, removes commonaffixes from words without reducing...
