Abstract:
Abstract The detection of the chromosomal translocations involving the myc gene, characteristic of BL, is important in the diagnostic workup of agressive lymphomas given its impact on treatment strategies and prognosis. Recently this has been accomplished using FISH techniques either in paraffin-embedded tissue sections or fresh tumor aspirates. BL has an elevated cellular turn-over and a rapid diagnosis is highly desirable; this, and its high incidence in pediatric populations in whom organ biopsy needs general anesthesia, makes fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples attractive for diagnosis. In some cases, confirmation of the diagnosis may require the analysis of archival pre-stained samples. However, only recent samples have been reported as suitable for FISH analysis. We analysed 18 cytological samples (8 cytospins and 10 smears) obtained by FNA from 16 male and two female patients, median age 7.5 (3 to 48) years old, diagnosed with BL (15), atypical BL (1) or high grade lymphoma with a difficult differential diagnosis with BL (3) between February 2000 and July 2004 on the basis of morphology and phenotype of cytological and/or histological samples. In all cases the presentation and further clinical course suggested the possibility of BL and treatment was administered accordingly. Sixteen smears were May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) stained whereas two were fresh-frozen; the samples had been stored for variable periods (1 day to 53 months). Cytology specimens (6 MGG-stained and 6 frozen) obtained from 12 reactive lymph nodes were used as controls, to determine the cut-off value for positive hybridization signals. After removal of the coverslips with xylene, the slides were destained in a series of water and ethanol washes. Pretreatment with pepsin was followed by the hybridization procedure. The dual fusion t(8;14) fluorescent probe was purchased from Vysis. Eleven out of 18 (61%) samples could be hybridized using this technique. The 7 cases without an interpretable signal were between 9 and 53 months old. The cut-off value for t(8;14) was 0%, meaning that in 12 negative controls the pattern of two fusion signals with or without a remaining signal from der(8) chromosome was never observed. In aggreament to previous publications 8 out of 11 specimens (72%) were positive for the (8;14) translocation, including 3 cases in which a definitive BL diagnosis could not be made by cytology/histology alone. The median percentage of positive cells was 80% (46 and 92%). Although the quality and age of the smears influenced the results, and better signals were observed with frozen specimens, FISH analysis of archival cytopathological material stored for prolonged periods was frequently possible and allowed the diagnosis of 3 difficult cases, whereas it confirmed the morphological results in another 5 patients.

Abstract:
Different data and ways of ordering nature are relevant to different questions, and thus there is no single classification of natural phenomena appropriate for all questions in macroevolution.Consider two distinct, coexisting modes of causal explanation in paleontology. The historical mode takes the form of a narrative, a sequence of events or situations, each one “explaining” the following event as a natural or obvious outcome. Traditionally, the historian of human society usually seeks explanations in terms of transitions from one state to the next. It is thus natural for the paleontologist-historian to regard the primary problems of macroevolution as involving the transformation of character states and the sequence of branching lineages. The data summarized by a cladogram are thus of direct relevance to a vast number of macroevolutionary questions requiring historical-mode answers. However, taxa per se, as groupings of organisms based on specific criteria, are not sequences of events and thus are not particularly relevant to these kinds of questions. In contrast, a functional (or mechanistic, or process) mode of explanation characterizes most of the rest of natural science. One may define a mechanism as a specified set of causal interactions among entities, controlled by parameters. The essence of a mechanism is that given the parameter values, the result is inevitable and predictable, and the process continues to “completion.” The entities that are functioning parts within the mechanism, and among which causal relations are specified, must usually satisfy the criteria of historical contemporaneity, geographic propinquity, and capacity to interact in the ways specified. There is no requirement involving common descent The paleontologist seeking answers to questions about mechanism must therefore be interested primarily in functional (usually ecological) entities (organisms, populations, communities, biotas) and their environments rather than taxa per se or extended sequences of splitting events. Historical sequences involving ecological entities may often be more informative about ecologically based processes than sequences reflecting character transformations within lineages, because an ecological entity, by definition, occurs in a specific environment that may be shared by other ecologically interacting entities.Higher taxa thus have little relevance to explanation in macroevolution, although scientifically useful groupings of species may sometimes correspond to taxa defined with regard to common descent or other criteria. Pre-Darwinian taxa were groupings of species thought to reflect ideal (usually Divine) ordering principles. The idea that the nested monophyletic groups extracted from a cladogram form the only “real” scientific groupings of species is a vestige of this pre-Darwinian idealism. This metaphysical issue is irrelevant. Entities have meaning, or not, only with regard to particular scientific questions or mechanisms. Paraphyletic taxa have no meaning in cladistic practice. Likewise, it is difficult, if not impossible, to define the general functional role of clades, or to give a general biological interpretation of their fates. The value of a cladogram is not that it defines monophyletic taxa (which seem largely irrelevant to macroevolution), but that it represents a hypothesized sequence of historical events (which is relevant).Traditional, “synthetic” taxa that may be paraphyletic are, like all taxa based on common descent, usually inappropriate candidates for interactors in macroevolutionary mechanisms. An exception may be the way synthetic taxa are analyzed statistically in large-scale taxonomic diversity studies, where they can stand in for more appropriate species-level or populational data that are not readily available. Studying extinction of clades rather than synthetic taxa is not approaching the same question with “better” data, but constitutes asking a different question — and one whose answer may be even less easily causally interpretable. Before expunging synthetic taxa from our collective memory, we should use them to gain whatever perspective they can give on the causes of major events in life's history.

Abstract:
From a corpus consisting of free text comments submitted to the website RateMyProfessors.com, adjectives describing people have been identified and clustered using Principal Components Analysis. This follows the Meaning Extraction method used by Chung & Pennebaker (2007). The outcome is a set of seven factors, each of which is interpretable as representing a dimension of meaning along which individual professors have been evaluated. These dimensions are in turn discussed using Martin & White’s (2005) parameters of Judgement and Appreciation, and Coffin’s (2002) concept of evaluative voices. It is argued that contributors to RateMyProfessors.com have available three distinct voices: ‘novice intellectual’, ‘consumer’, and ‘subordinate’. The paper demonstrates how a bottom-up, statistical technique may be used to provide the initial data for identifying evaluative parameters. It raises the possibility that such parameters may be specific to individual discourse communities. It therefore offers a complementary and problematizing alternative to top-down, researcher-driven taxonomies of evaluative meaning.

Abstract:
This article proposes a reading of liminal transitions in semiotic terms; that is, as a byproduct of the dynamics of sensemaking consisting of how two components of meaning interact: the observable side of meaning ( Significance in Praesentia)—the rupture directly experienced by the interpreter—and a further generalized meaning—the semiotic scenario ( Significance in Absentia), which makes the lived experience interpretable. Due to its pre-semantic and affective nature, in the liminal hotspot the semiotic scenario keeps a certain version of the self alive, regardless of the changes occurring in the real world. The conditions that favor such dynamics are briefly outlined as well as some implications for theory, methodology, and intervention.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract This paper examines indirect reports from the lens of socio-cognitive approach (SCA) to pragmatics. Indirect reports have the capacity to re-mold the substance of the original utterance as a whole. In direct reporting, the original utterance is produced in an actual situational context, and then, it is being reported by a different speaker in a new situational context. So, the utterance which was initially produced is only interpretable in the light of the common ground A whereas the reported utterance is only interpretable in the light of common ground B. We have it from Kecskes (2013. Intercultural pragmatics. New York: Oxford University Press: 159) that “common ground is both an a priori existing and a cooperatively constructed mental abstraction. Likewise, the main condition of reporting is the need of the hearer: there would be no need for reported speech if the audience were already aware of the content of the report. For that reason, the process of meaning making in reporting, that is, the transmission and simultaneously creation of meaning is inextricably bound with the question of context, salience, common ground, pragmatics, semantics and syntax, not to mention all those bodily gestures and expressions that can, or more importantly, cannot be registered in language.

Full text
Abstract:
Professor Jeffrey Bellin’s excellent article advances a comprehensive and straightforward textual approach to determining what policing activities constitute “searches” triggering the protections of the Fourth Amendment. Bellin’s thesis is that a text-based approach to interpreting the Amendment is superior to the Supreme Court’s current approach, which ever since Katz v. United States has defined “search” primarily by reference to a non-textual “reasonable expectation of privacy” standard. After soundly criticizing the ungrounded and highly subjective nature of the Katz test, Bellin declares that the Court should instead simply follow where the text leads: the Amendment protects people from a search, meaning an “examination of an object or space to uncover information” of their own “persons, houses, papers, and effects.” No more, no less. Such a textual approach generates new doctrinal rules that would replicate Katz’s outcomes in many respects and provide either more or less protection in others.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractIn two lexical-decision experiments, we investigated the processing of figurative and literal meaning in idioms. Dutch native and German–Dutch bilingual speakers responded to target words presented after a minimal context idiom prime (e.g., ‘He kicked the bucket’). Target words were related to the figurative meaning of the prime (‘die’), the literal word at the end of the idiom (‘water’), or unrelated to both (‘face’). We observed facilitation in RTs for figuratively and literally related targets relative to unrelated targets for both participant groups. A higher frequency idiom-final word caused inhibition in responses to the literally related target for native speakers, indicating competition between the idiom as a whole and its literal word constituents. Native speakers further showed sensitivity to transparency of the idiom's meaning and the plausibility of the idiom as a literally interpretable sentence. The results are interpreted in terms of available L1/L2 idiom comprehension models, and a more detailed processing account for literal and idiomatic sentence interpretation.

Abstract:
Abstract Models for question answering, dialogue agents, and summarization often interpret the meaning of a sentence in a rich context and use that meaning in a new context. Taking excerpts of text can be problematic, as key pieces may not be explicit in a local window. We isolate and define the problem of sentence decontextualization: taking a sentence together with its context and rewriting it to be interpretable out of context, while preserving its meaning. We describe an annotation procedure, collect data on the Wikipedia corpus, and use the data to train models to automatically decontextualize sentences. We present preliminary studies that show the value of sentence decontextualization in a user-facing task, and as preprocessing for systems that perform document understanding. We argue that decontextualization is an important subtask in many downstream applications, and that the definitions and resources provided can benefit tasks that operate on sentences that occur in a richer context.

Abstract:
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic charmonium-like resonances discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed charged states are clearly not interpretable as [Formula: see text] mesons. Notwithstanding the considerable advances on the experimental side, conflicting theoretical descriptions do not seem to provide a definitive picture about the nature of the so-called XYZ particles. We present here a comprehensive review about this intriguing topic, discussing both those experimental and theoretical aspects which we consider relevant to make further progress in the field. At this state of progress, XYZ phenomenology speaks in favor of the existence of compact four-quark particles (tetraquarks) and we believe that realizing this instructs us in the quest for a firm theoretical framework.

Abstract:
Online healthcare forums (OHFs) have become increasingly popular for patients to share their health-related experiences. The healthcare-related texts posted in OHFs could help doctors and patients better understand specific diseases and the situations of other patients. To extract the meaning of a post, a commonly used way is to classify the sentences into several predefined categories of different semantics. However, the unstructured form of online posts brings challenges to existing classification algorithms. In addition, though many sophisticated classification models such as deep neural networks may have good predictive power, it is hard to interpret the models and the prediction results, which is, however, critical in healthcare applications. To tackle the challenges above, we propose an effective and interpretable OHF post classification framework. Specifically, we classify sentences into three classes: medication, symptom, and background. Each sentence is projected into an interpretable feature space consisting of labeled sequential patterns, UMLS semantic types, and other heuristic features. A forest-based model is developed for categorizing OHF posts. An interpretation method is also developed, where the decision rules can be explicitly extracted to gain an insight of useful information in texts. Experimental results on real-world OHF data demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed computational framework.

Abstract:
During the fourteenth century, with the rise of Dol po pa Shes rab rgyal mtshan (1292-1361), the gzhan stong philosophical tradition became a source of great controversy in Tibet. Dol po pa taught this new philosophical tradition for the first time to the wider Tibetan intellectual community. As Dol po pa's Jo nang teachings attracted an audience, many other philosophical giants of the day, such as Bu ston Rin chen grub (1290-1364), Red mda' ba Gzhon nu blo gros (1349-1412/13), and their students composed polemical works to refute Jo nang tradition. Lamp that Illuminates the Expanse of Reality was composed in the midst of this controversy to defend the Jo nang point of view. In it, its author, Gha rung pa Lha'i rgyal mtshan (1319-1402/03), attempts to prove that the Jo nang philosophical tradition is the definitive teaching and the quickest path to achieve the Buddhahood.

The history of Buddhism originated from India to Tibet. During its development, it has developed into different factions which have their individual systems and Sūtra. However, the Tibetans attached importance to the differences of religious doctrine and non-religious doctrine, they considered the difference will incur the wrong path of attaining Buddhahood, and greatly influenced the way of practicing the rules of Buddhism.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how Buddhaghosa describes the three “genres” or areas of expertise that the Buddha taught: Suttanta, Abhidhamma, and Vinaya. It discusses Buddhaghosa’s interpretation of his school (Vibhajjavāda) as engaging in the practices of analysis. It then describes the chief commentarial building blocks that inform the rest of the book: Buddhaghosa’s distinctions between teachings stated briefly and in detail; the ideas of meaning and phrasing; how teachings can be rendered conventionally and in the furthest sense; definitive and interpretable statements; and contextual and categorical forms of the teaching. All of these are descriptions of the Buddha’s words that then provide interpretative cues for the commentator. The chapter explores how these distinctions can be learned from Buddhaghosa through following his examples and practices, rather than as a set of general principles of interpretation.

Abstract:
Adopting the constructivist approach, especially building on Borer’s (2005a, b, 2013a) XS Model, two theoretical elements in the theory of the syntax of events are put forward. The first element concerns the specific constraints on the interaction between conceptual meaning and syntactic derivation. The content of the predicate will be integrated into the interpretation derived from the syntax via a set of Integration Conditions, according to which, the interpretation derived from syntax licenses the legitimacy of the predicate content. The second theoretical assumption is the addition of the DivP to the event phrase (EP) structure. A verbal feature is in nature an [iDiv] feature, which is equivalent to the interpretable feature provided by the classifier in the nominal domain. The stative/dynamic interpretation of an event is tied to the value of the [iDiv] feature, which further explains the grammatical distinction between two types of homogeneous predicates.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses a grammatically defined sub-class of focus: that on verbal predicates and on functional elements in the extended verbal projection. The phenomena falling under the label ofpredicate focusare introduced, and it is shown that predicate focus is interpretable on a par with argument or term focus on DPs and PPs. A unified structured-meaning approach that treats focus as the psychological predicate of the clause allows for singling out DP-terms and transitive verbs as categories in need of explicit marking when focused. A cross-linguistic overview of the grammatical strategies for marking predicate focus is provided, focusing on asymmetries in the realization of predicate as opposed to in terms of obligatory marking, grammatical strategy, and complexity. The information-structural and grammatical factors behind such focus asymmetries are discussed with some tentative universals concerning the explicit marking of information-structural categories on verbal predicates.

Full text
Abstract:
Can humans and artificial intelligences share concepts and communicate? One aim of Making AI Intelligible is to show that philosophical work on the metaphysics of meaning can help answer these questions. Cappelen and Dever use the externalist tradition in philosophy of to create models of how AIs and humans can understand each other. In doing so, they also show ways in which that philosophical tradition can be improved: our linguistic encounters with AIs revel that our theories of meaning have been excessively anthropocentric. The questions addressed in the book are not only theoretically interesting, but the answers have pressing practical implications. Many important decisions about human life are now influenced by AI. In giving that power to AI, we presuppose that AIs can track features of the world that we care about (e.g. creditworthiness, recidivism, cancer, and combatants.) If AIs can share our concepts, that will go some way towards justifying this reliance on AI. The book can be read as a proposal for how to take some first steps towards achieving interpretable AI. Making AI Intelligible is of interest to both philosophers of language and anyone who follows current events or interacts with AI systems. It illustrates how philosophy can help us understand and improve our interactions with AI.

Abstract:
Grammatical gender features, which are seen as having both a semantic and arbitrary form, have been argued to embody the interpretable-uninterpretable distinction: semantic gender is interpretable, and arbitrary gender is uninterpretable (Kramer 2014, 2015). Using French as a case study, Chapter 5 argues that all gender features (even those which have been seen as arbitrary) are necessarily interpretable at the LF interface. Even if a feature does not contribute compositionally to the meaning of a structure, it must be visible to provide the context for interpretation. This leads to an argument for the abandonment of the interpretable-uninterpretable distinction in the representation of features. Instead, the analysis contends that the mechanism of interpretation is responsible for differences in the semantic contribution of features: both heads and sub-structures can be taken as input to the interpretive mechanism. The interpretation of heads leads to compositional meaning, and the interpretation of sub-structures to non-compositional meaning. The system has the consequence of simplifying restrictions on gender specification such that they are solely linked to the availability of a semantic interpretation, rather than to a combination of phonological and semantic licensing conditions.

Abstract:
How might language have evolved and which (types of) norms, if any, might have played a role in shaping it? This chapter addresses these two questions by first exploring differences between human language and animal communication systems; the difference between natural signs, signals, and non-natural signs (symbols) will be elaborated. The author claims that normativity enters the picture only at the level of symbols. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to the question of what kinds of norms might have played a role in the evolution of symbolic communication. The author argues, firstly, that a certain level of cooperation is needed if non-natural signs are to be interpretable at all; secondly, a type of prudential norm emerges as signs acquire stable meaning; thirdly, interpretation of implicit communication is governed by pragmatic norms, too.

Osteogenic lesions, or those that form osteoid matrix, are most commonly benign. Enostoses and osteomas are incidentally detected. Osteoid osteomas and osteoblastomas often produce pain and deformity. Important imaging findings that are essential for diagnosis of these entities are discussed with typical examples using radiographs, CT, and MRI. In many cases, imaging can be helpful to direct definitive therapies, such as radiofrequency ablation. A concise discussion on treatment options has also been included.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the reaction to Thomas Burnet’s Archæologiæ philosophicæ (1692) and its implications for the posthumous reputation of that author, in the process discussing the impact of radical criticism of the Church on clerical careers and the importance of scandal in the formation of a market for pirated publications in the book trade. It concentrates on the fate of Burnet’s works at the hands of pirates, particularly Edmund Curll, in the wake of an apparently definitive case in Chancery (1721) regarding posthumous copyright in unpublished materials. Questions of orthodoxy, reputation, censorship, and the meaning of copyright are therefore raised, alongside the difficulties of establishing the bibliography of Burnet’s publications.

Abstract:
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is often described as one of the newer “third wave” cognitive behavioral therapies. ACT is transdiagnostic and functions by increasing psychological flexibility and training skills in appropriate behavioral responses to distressing cognitions and emotions. ACT emphasizes the importance of values-based living to give meaning and purpose to life. Although the evidence base for ACT in cancer settings is growing, more methodologically robust and powered trials are needed for definitive evidence. This chapter outlines how ACT can be used to help people during cancer treatment and survivorship, with a focus on managing troubling thoughts and coping with treatment side effects, demoralization, grief, and avoidance of valued activities.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the doctrine of common law constitutional rights. This is a controversial area where judges uphold the rule of law to restrict not only government power, but occasionally the meaning of statutes in order to protect the fundamental rights and values that permeate the UK constitution. This can create tensions between parliamentary sovereignty, separation of powers, and rule of law. There is no definitive list of common law constitutional rights and values and they are unwritten, but they are essentially the rights and values protected by the rule of law that have evolved as rules of ‘fair play’ and justice. They include justice; legality; fundamental rights such as liberty, freedom of expression, and equality; accountable government; and democracy.

Abstract:
The chapter begins with a discussion of names, descriptive names, and definitive descriptions, with the suggestion that a description becomes a descriptive name, and later simply a name, as it becomes a symbol for the thing it refers to. The issue of naming the several categories of things that we cannot describe accurately is raised. This includes a look at Wittgenstein´s private language argument. The problems of universals, nominalism, and realism are explained and commented on. The influence these issues can have on belief is illustrated with the debate on whether delusions are beliefs, and the issue of moral relativism is raised. The chapter ends with brief comment on misunderstanding through slippage of meaning, and on the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a method to modify a traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) into an interpretable compositional CNN, in order to learn filters that encode meaningful visual patterns in intermediate convolutional layers. In a compositional CNN, each filter is supposed to consistently represent a specific compositional object part or image region with a clear meaning. The compositional CNN learns from image labels for classification without any annotations of parts or regions for supervision. Our method can be broadly applied to different types of CNNs. Experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method. The code will be released when the paper is accepted.

Abstract:
The field of statistical relational learning (SRL) is concerned with learning probabilistic models from relational data. Learned SRL models are typically represented using some kind of weighted logical formulas, which makes them considerably more interpretable than those obtained by e.g. neural networks. In practice, however, these models are often still difficult to interpret correctly, as they can contain many formulas that interact in non-trivial ways and weights do not always have an intuitive meaning. To address this, we propose a new SRL method which uses possibilistic logic to encode relational models. Learned models are then essentially stratified classical theories, which explicitly encode what can be derived with a given level of certainty. Compared to Markov Logic Networks (MLNs), our method is faster and produces considerably more interpretable models.

Abstract:
This paper explores the contours of old age as it meets up with new technologies in contexts of work. Old age is a problematic field, always subject to renegotiation of meaning due to changes in life expectancy and never more so than in the critical first three decades of the 21st century, when the proportion of older people is dramatically increasing, with the West in the lead. I attempt to provide a context in which scholars, activists, and others might begin talking about the changing role of work for older adults in a hightech economy. Instead of offering a statistical breakdown that can be generalized to our entire older adult population, it tells the stories of real people associated with this complex set of concerns, demonstrating how difficult it is to paint any definitive sort of portrait of aging in American culture. Its primary usefulness might be in the recognition it offers for us that, like the rest of us who are reeling from the velocity at which change is arriving in contemporary life, elders are facing myriad tensions, consequences, and challenges and are meeting these with varying outcomes.

Abstract:
Abstract: This paper, All of Paris, Darkly, presents a focused study of Le Corbusier’s enigmatic Beistegui Apartment (1929- 1931) on the Champs-Elysée in Paris, with particular reference to the curious camera obscura periscope that was housed in a small lozenge-shaped pavilion on its rooftop. There are manifold reasons for the charisma of the apartment; from the flamboyant eccentricities of the client and his exchanges with the architect, to the exceptional location of apartment in the centre of Paris, to the apparent repudiation of some of Le Corbusier’s more strident proclamations on architecture and the city, to the historical conditions that have for all time occluded a definitive scholarly reading of the architectural production and subsequent inhabitation of the apartment. Grounded in an understanding of the primal visual phenomenon of the camera obscura, the paper advances an interpretation of the meaning of the periscope apparatus amidst the battery of unusual contrivances that animated the surrealist penthouse apartment. It further seeks to contribute to a greater understanding of some aspects of Le Corbusier’s thinking on architecture and the city. Keywords: Le Corbusier; Charles de Beistegui; camera obscura; uncanny; Surrealism. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.928

Full text
Abstract:
This paper proposes an approach to multiple-viewpoint design modelling based on the concept of semantic markup of digital models of a design. The core of the concept is to make the engineering significance (semantics) of entities in a model of an artefact explicit through markup of the same model by engineers from multiple disciplines. Such markup, combined with current technologies that allow the computer interpretable specification of meaning and executable specifications of process, should allow a higher degree of automation of the manipulation of models within the design process, reducing the amount of user effort required. The development of the approach from concepts drawn from feature technologies and the Semantic Web is described along with experimental work carried out in a current generation commercial Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) suite to test the feasibility of a structured markup for CAE models. The paper discusses the form that a fully realised semantic markup-based CAE system may take. Key elements of such a system are identified and the paper ends with a description of the planned development of the approach.

Abstract:
Insufficient semantic understanding of dialogue always leads to the appearance of generic responses, in generative dialogue systems. Recently, high-quality knowledge bases have been introduced to enhance dialogue understanding, as well as to reduce the prevalence of boring responses. Although such knowledge-aware approaches have shown tremendous potential, they always utilize the knowledge in a black-box fashion. As a result, the generation process is somewhat uncontrollable, and it is also not interpretable. In this paper, we introduce a topic fact-based commonsense knowledge-aware approach, TopicKA. Different from previous works, TopicKA generates responses conditioned not only on the query message but also on a topic fact with an explicit semantic meaning, which also controls the direction of generation. Topic facts are recommended by a recommendation network trained under the Teacher-Student framework. To integrate the recommendation network and the generation network, this paper designs four schemes, which include two non-sampling schemes and two sampling methods. We collected and constructed a large-scale Chinese commonsense knowledge graph. Experimental results on an open Chinese benchmark dataset indicate that our model outperforms baselines in terms of both the objective and the subjective metrics.

Full text
Abstract:
This research aims to build a model for the semantic description of objects based on visual features extracted from images. We introduce a novel semantic description approach inspired by the Prototype Theory. Inspired by the human approach used to represent categories, we propose a novel Computational Prototype Model (CPM) that encodes and stores the object’s image category’s central semantic meaning: the semantic prototype. Our CPM model represents and constructs the semantic prototypes of object categories using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The proposed Prototype-based Description Model uses the CPM model to describe an object highlighting its most distinctive features within the category. Our Global Semantic Descriptor (GSDP) builds discriminative, low-dimensional, and semantically interpretable signatures that encode the objects’ semantic information using the constructed semantic prototypes. It uses the proposed Prototypical Similarity Layer (PS-Layer) to retrieve the category prototype using the principle of categorization based on prototypes. Using different datasets, we show in our experiments that: i) the proposed CPM model successfully simulates the internal semantic structure of the categories; ii) the proposed semantic distance metric can be understood as the object typicality score within a category; iii) our semantic classification method based on prototypes can improve the performance and interpretation of CNN classification models; iv) our semantic descriptor encoding significantly outperforms others state-of-the-art image global encoding in clustering and classification tasks.

Abstract:
Abstract: When it comes to economic growth of modern day developed countries, it can be concluded that certain factors can be distinguished as definitive quality indicators of economic growth. Meaning that the rise of said factors will in most cases ensure sustainable economic growth. Considering the rise of capitalism and the growth of multinational companies, one challenge most modern day countries face is strengthening of a countries export rates and inspiring continuous entrepreneurial activity. One key indicator that has thus far been often overlooked is the innovation rate. The aim of this paper is to conclude whether or not the innovation rate can be used as a quality indicator of economic development. The focus in this paper has been put on the former Yugoslavian countries. The reason for this being that all of their economies started developing at the same time and under a very similar socio-political background and origin. This makes them a good subject for observation, seeing as how they all developed to different capacities and at various rates. Observing these countries and various influential factors can help discern the factors which impact the GDP rate the most. In particular, the innovation rate. Sažetak: Kad je riječ o ekonomskom rastu današnjih razvijenih zemalja, može se zaključiti da se određeni čimbenici mogu razlikovati kao konačni pokazatelji kvalitete gospodarskog rasta. Što znači da će porast navedenih čimbenika u većini slučajeva osigurati održivi gospodarski rast. Uzimajući u obzir rast kapitalizma i rast multinacionalnih tvrtki, jedan od izazova s kojima se suočava većina modernih zemalja je jačanje izvoza i poticanje kontinuirane poduzetničke aktivnosti. Jedan od ključnih pokazatelja koji se do sada često zanemarivao je stopa inovacija. Cilj je ovog rada istražiti može li se stopa inovacija koristiti kao pokazatelj kvalitete gospodarskog razvoja. Fokus u ovom radu je stavljen na zemlje nastale na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije. Razlog tome je taj što su se njihova gospodarstva počela razvijati u isto vrijeme i pod vrlo sličnom društveno-političkim okolnostima. To ih čini podobnim za istraživanje i zaključivanje o tome kako su se razvijali do različitih razina i različitom dinamikom. Istraživanje ovih zemalja i različitih čimbenika utjecaja može pomoći u prepoznavanju čimbenika koji najviše utječu na stopu BDP-a. Konkretno, stopa inovacija.
