In the event of an accident or emergency, a victim’s medical information such as blood type, prescribed drugs, and other pertinent medical history is critical to Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) so that the correct treatment can be provided to the victim as quickly as possible. Victims of car accidents, heart attacks, etc., are not always able to answer simple but crucial medical questions....

This paper describes a new interpretation of Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG) that allows the embedding of TAG in the unification framework in a manner consistent with the declarative approach taken in this framework. In the new interpretation we present in this paper, the objects manipulated by a TAG are considered to be descriptions of trees. This is in contrast to the traditional view that in a...

How to trust without knowing the truth? This is probably the key question that arises while designing applications using virtual tags. A virtual tag is a geo-referenced note that is visible for all the people that are in a specific place. But what if you see a tag about an event or an object that is not here? How to know if you are facing a spam attack, or if the tag is simply outdated? And, ho...

This paper proposes a tag-based statistical framework to solve math word problems with understanding and reasoning. It analyzes the body and question texts into their associated tag-based logic forms, and then performs inference on them. Comparing to those rule-based approaches, the proposed statistical approach alleviates rules coverage and ambiguity resolution problems, and our tag-based appr...

Abstract This paper proposes a research method of personalized recommendation test questions for users by fully collecting and studying the user’s characteristic data in multiple dimensions, establishing dynamic user portrait, mining analyzing information question bank. Firstly, collect data, calculate similarity behavior sequence, use cosine algorithm to text questions. Then, tag system is est...

I) Goals and Purpose Software developers use Stack Overflow to post questions and answers related to programming and computer science problems they need to solve. Questions such as seeking input on some efficient and time-saving methods of coding a particular program, getting help on solving various bottlenecks in coding are commonly seen. When users submit questions on Stack Overflow they need...

This research examined the unique effects of different markers of linguistic powerlessness (hedges, hesitations, and tag questions) on persuasion. Participants read (Experiment 1) or listened to (Experiment 2) a communication advocating comprehensive exams. Under high message relevance, messages containing powerless markers resulted in less favorable attitudes and more negative perceptions of t...

Studies on cell lines have greatly improved our understanding of many important biological questions. Generation of cell lines is facilitated by the introduction of immortalizing oncogenes into cell types of interest. One gene known to immortalize many different cell types in vitro encodes the simian virus 40 (SV40) large tumor (T) antigen (TAg). To circumvent the need for gene insertion in vit...

Ten female native speakers of American English (NS) and ten Japanese females who speak English as a second language (NNS) were recorded reading a text containing emphatically-assertive tag questions. Evidence was sought to determine whether or not native speakers can correctly identify these utterances as produced by native or non-native speakers on the basis of intonation alone. The tag questi...
