L2 learners often produce “ungrammatical” word combinations such as, e.g., *give a suggestion or *make a walk. This is because of the “collocationality” of one of their items (the base) that limits the acceptance of collocates to express a specific meaning (‘perform’ above). We propose an algorithm that delivers, for a given base and the intended meaning of a collocate, the actual collocate lex...

Humans tend to decompose a sentence into different parts like sth do at someplace and then fill each part with certain content. Inspired by this, we follow the principle of modular design propose novel image captioner: learning Collocate Visual-Linguistic Neural Modules (CVLNM). Unlike widely used neural module networks in VQA, where language (i.e., question) is fully observable, task collocati...

Consistent with both the development of the normal prostate gland and prostate tumorigenesis being dependent on testicular androgens, targeting the androgen-signaling axis (i.e., androgen ablation therapy) remains the predominant treatment regime for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Although there is a very good initial response to androgen ablation, these treatments are essentially pa...

Center's (OCLC) WorldCat. The goal of the study is to gauge the characteristics of bibliographic entities under study, to examine types of relationships these entities exhibit, and to collocate bibliographic entities according to the FRBR group 1 hierarchy of entities identified as works, expressions, manifestations, and items. The study's findings show that by assembling bibliographic records ...

Collocations such as heavy rain or make [a] decision, are combinations of two elements where one (the base) is freely chosen, while the choice of the other (collocate) is restricted, depending on the base. Collocations present difficulties even to advanced language learners, who usually struggle to find the right collocate to express a particular meaning, e.g., both heavy and strong express the...

We present an 8-dimensional (8D) display that allows glasses-free viewing of 3D imagery, whist capturing and reacting to incident environmental and user controlled light sources. We demonstrate two interactive possibilities enabled by our lens-array-based hardware prototype, and realtime GPU-accelerated software pipeline. Additionally, we describe a path to deploying such displays in the future...

Given the fact that Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) are currently onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite and will continue to be carried on the same platform as future Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellites for the next decade, it is desirable to develop a fast and accurate collocation sch...

The extraction of collocations from corpora has been actively worked on since the late eighties. However, so far, an important task of collocation processing, namely the semantic interpretation of the collocate, did not receive much attention, although the semantics of a given word when used as collocate very often varies from the semantics of this word when used in a free co-occurrence. In thi...

IR researchers need to collect comparative data to evaluate the worth of possible system improvements, for example new techniques for query enhancement. However it is sometimes difficult to achieve strict comparability in experiments designed for an interactive environment. We describe a method for merging results from different queries and collecting relevance feedback from users in comparativ...
