Five hundred millions of tweets are posted daily, making Twitter a major social media from which topical information on events can be extracted. Events are represented by time, location and entityrelated information. This paper focuses on location which is an important clue for both users and geo-spatial applications. We address the problem of predicting whether a tweet contains a location or n...

The health benefits of purple sweetpotato, which is used as an edible food in its natural 13 state and in processed foods and as a natural color pigment, have been recognized. In Japan, 14 sweetpotato has been economically produced in regions below 36°4′N latitude, however, cultivation 15 areas are beginning to expand further north. The anthocyanin and polyphenolics in purple 16 sweetpotatoes c...

The UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Insititute [1] (OSMI) treats a diverse nature of conditions. Our primary facility is located in Gainesville, Florida, adjacent to the west side of the University of Florida campus [2]. To save time, it is recommended to download/complete the patient registration forms [3] and bring them with you on your visit. If you are a referring office requesting cons...

Genes that are more closely spaced on the chromosome than expected by chance are said to be spatially clustered. Standard tests of clustering versus uniformity do not take into account two important features of genes—the high variability of gene length and the low probability that gene locations overlap (exclusion). We show by simulation that the standard null distributions which ignore length ...

We present a Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) model of locations, where a location is either shareable or containable depending on whether its value can be dereferenced by a pointer. Our model of locations is similar to previous work on pointers within the UTP; the main difference is that the previous work on pointers only modelled shareable locations. We explain why containable locations...

We show that people’s travel destinations are predictable based on simple features of their home and destination. Using geotagged Twitter data from over 200,000 people in the U.S., with a median of 10 visits per user, we use machine learning to classify whether or not a person will visit a given location. We find that travel distance is the most important predictive feature. Ignoring distance, ...

I.I Sketch of Proposal We propose a semantics for locative expressions such as near Jones or west of Denver, an important subsystem for NLP applications. Locative expressions denote regions of space, and serve as arguments to predicates, locating objects and events spatially. Since simple locatives occupy argument positions, they do NOT participate in scope ambiguities m pace one common view, w...
