The novel unseen classes can be formulated as the extreme values of known classes. This inspired the recent works on open-set recognition [32, 31, 28], which however can have no way of naming the novel unseen classes. To solve this problem, we propose the Extreme Value Learning (EVL) formulation to learn the mapping from visual feature to semantic space. To model the margin and coverage distrib...

In this paper, the lexical characteristics of two Chinese dialects and American English are explored. Different lexical representations are investigated, including the tonal syllables, base syllables, phonemes, and the broad phonetic classes. Multiple measurements are made, such as coverage, uniqueness, and cohort sizes. Our results are based on lexicons of 44K and 52K words in Chinese and Engl...

In this paper we present a new approach for obtaining the terminology of a given domain using the category and page structures of the Wikipedia in a language independent way. The idea is to take profit of category graph of Wikipedia starting with a top category that we identify with the name of the domain. After obtaining the full set of categories belonging to the selected domain, the collecti...

It was recently proved that a sound and complete qualitative simulator does not exist, that is, as long as the input-output vocabulary of the state-of-the-art QSIM algorithm is used, there will always be input models which cause any simulator with a coverage guarantee to make spurious predictions in its output. In this paper, we examine whether a meaningfully expressive restriction of this voca...

Abstract Vocabulary knowledge is one of the most important elements reading comprehension. Text coverage proportion known words in a given text. We hypothesize that text comprehension increases exponentially with due to network effects and activation prior knowledge. In addition, lexical threshold hypothesis states faster above certain amount coverage. The exponential relationship between compr...

An up-to-date problem list is useful for assessing a patient’s current clinical status. Natural language processing can help maintain an accurate problem list. For instance, a patient problem list from a clinical document can be derived from individual problem mentions within the clinical document once these mentions are mapped to a standard vocabulary. In order to develop and evaluate accurate...

In the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching, textbooks play crucial role in classroom primary source lexical input for learners. Thus, it is essential that can sufficiently facilitate learners their overall comprehension and vocabulary learning, especially with most frequent words English. The study examined load locally-published EFL textbook Vietnam high school students foc...

Lexical profiling studies are concerned with the lexical breadth required to achieve 95% and 98% coverage of various kinds verbal or textual materials (Webb, 2021). While prior research has concentrated on load EFL textbooks (Nguyen, 2020; Sun & Dang, 2020), scarce examined demands local proficiency tests. This study investigated profile Moroccan national reading exams in relation Nation’s ...
