Abstract:

This article describes a HMM-based word-alignment method that can selectively enforce a contiguity constraint. This method has a direct application in the extraction of a bilingual terminological lexicon from a parallel corpus, but can also be used as a preliminary step for the extraction of phrase pairs in a Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation system. Contiguous source words composing terms are aligned to contiguous target language words. The HMM is transformed into a Weighted Finite State Transducer (WFST) and contiguity constraints are enforced by specific multi-tape WFSTs. The pro

Abstract:

Most contemporary theories of causal learning identify three primary cues to causality; temporal order, contingency and contiguity. It is well-established in the literature that a lack of temporal contiguity – a delay between cause and effect – can have an adverse effect on causal induction. However research has tended to focus almost exclusively on the extent of delay while ignoring the potential influence of delay variability. This thesis aimed to address this oversight. Since humans tend to experience causal relations repeatedly over time, we accordingly experience multiple cause-effect int

Abstract:

We consider weak convergence of a sequence of asset price models (Sn) to a limiting asset price model S. A typical case for this situation is the convergence of a sequence of binomial models to the Black-Scholes model, as studied by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein. We put emphasis on two different aspects of this convergence: firstly we consider convergence with respect to the given "physical" probability measures (Pn) and secondly with respect to the "risk-neutral" measures (Qn) for the asset price processes (Sn). (In the case of non-uniqueness of the risk-neutral measures also the question of the

L'évolution technologique de ces dernières années est fortement marquée par la grande quantité d'images produites et consommées. Un contenu sémantique à la fois riche et très souple explique cet avènement de l'image et l'intérêt croissant qui lui est témoigné. La texture est présente au sein d'un grand nombre d'images. Cette présence peut être forte (images aériennes, tissus et matières synthétiques,. . Ect), ou faible (objets et scènes naturellesn cellules et images microscopiques,. . . ) suivant le type d'image.

Abstract:

<p>The research reported in this paper involves the use of dialogical argumentation in scientific context with 7-9 year olds as part of teaching and learning in primary classrooms. To develop an understanding of scientific concepts, four suitable collaborative activities on river pollution were used as a stimulus to effectively engage learners in scientific reasoning and use evidence for decision-making through cognitive harmonization. The research, involved four groups of five children each. Data were collected through analysis of children&rsquo<br>s Water Pollution Questionnaire (WPQ), class

Abstract:

Ce travail propose des solutions pour prendre en compte la notion de contiguite, dans les analyses des correspondances et dans la classification ascendante hierarchique (cah). La notion de contiguite est introduite sur l'ensemble des individus. La notion de contiguite est traduite a partir d'un graphe de voisinage, eventuellement value, avec un cas particulier des graphes bistochastiques. Nous proposons l'analyse des correspondances multiples lissee, et l'analyse des differences locales.

Afin de s'adapter au monde qui l’entoure, l’humain doit comprendre les relations de causes à effet présentes dans son environnement. Bien que des auteurs aient tenté d'expliquer théoriquement cette habileté, plusieurs questions subsistent quant au rôle des nombreux facteurs impliqués dans ce type de raisonnement. Cette thèse explore le rôle et l’interaction de deux facteurs peu étudiés ensemble dans la littérature, soit les croyances a priori et la contiguïté temporelle de la cause et l’effet.

D’Ausone à Ennode de Pavie, de nombreux hommes de lettres de l’Antiquité tardive ont conjugué une production épistolaire abondante avec la rédaction d’épigrammes.. Ennode de Pavie a d’ailleurs organisé le recueil complet de ses œuvres autour d’une alternance entre épigrammes et lettres, mettant ainsi en relief la relation étroite, véritable dialogue générique, qui se noue entre l’épigramme et la lettre. Cependant, malgré ces nombreux points communs, les travaux critiques ont dans l’ensemble négligé d’en conduire l’étude de façon parallèle. C’est à ce projet original que nous entendons consacre

Abstract:

The traditional CPU-bound applications of the past have been replaced by multiple concurrent data-driven applications that use lots of memory. These applications, including databases and virtualization, put high stress on the virtual memory system which can have up to a 50% performance overhead for some applications. Virtualization compounds this problem, where the overhead can be upwards of 90%. While much research has been done on reducing the number of TLB misses, they can not be eliminated entirely. This thesis examines three techniques for reducing the cost of TLB miss handling. We test e

When the number of SOM units is large, similar units of the map need to be grouped in order to facilitate analysis of the self-organizing map and the data. This thesis extends the original Kohonen SOM network model by including a contiguity-constrained clustering method based on a nonlinear metric to perform clustering of the SOM units generated by the Kohonen SOM network model. This nonlinear metric is proven to be mo

The contiguity-constrained cluster analysis consists of a series of techniques, including principal component analysis, network analysis, bus system analysis, Voronoi diagram analysis, and the cluster analysis. This method is able to distinguish a commuting zone according to the
