Exploiting the cumulative behavior of users is a common technique used to improve many popular online services. We build a tag spell checker using a graph-based model. In particular, we present a novel technique based on the graph of tags associated with objects made available by online sites such as Flickr and YouTube. We show the effectiveness of our approach on the basis of an experimentatio...

BACKGROUND Few studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of extreme cold events on mortality in subtropical regions. OBJECTIVE In the present study we aimed to investigate the effects of the 2008 cold spell on mortality and the possibility of mortality displacement in three subtropical cities in China. METHODS Daily mortality, air pollution, and weather data were collected from ...

One of the main features of Slavonic languages is their complex morphological structure. Unfortunately, current industrial software in this field (e.g.morphologieal components of spell checkers) supports only partial language models (and reflects as a rule the more or less primitive level of the morphological knowledge of its developers). In the authors' opinion, the time has come to develop ad...

No previous study exists in China examining the impact of extreme temperature on morbidity outcomes. In this study, we investigated the impact of heat waves and cold spells on hospital admission in Shanghai, China. Daily hospital admission data between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008 were collected from the Shanghai Health Insurance Bureau. The heat wave was defined as a period of at leas...

There are numerous formats for writing spell-checkers for open-source systems and there are many lexical descriptions for natural languages written in these formats. In this paper, we demonstrate a method for converting Hunspell and related spell-checking lexicons into finite-state automata. We also present a simple way to apply unigram corpus training in order to improve the spellchecking sugg...

This paper uses an independent competing risks framework to model job tenure, with previous labour market status and the duration of the preceding unemployment spell as explanatory variables. We find that jobs that follow an unemployment spell have shorter mean duration than other jobs. Less than one half of jobs that follow unemployment last for twelve months. Multivariate results suggest that...

In this study, projected changes in climate extreme indices defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices were investigated over Middle East North Africa. Changes daily maximum minimum temperature- precipitation- based analyzed for end of 21st century compared to reference period 1971–2000 using regional model simulations. Regional model, RegCM4.4 was used downscale two dif...
