We explore the link between the extent to which syntactic relations are preserved in translation and the ease of correctly constructing a parse tree in a zero-shot setting. While previous work suggests such a relation, it tends to focus on the macro
level and not on the level of individual edges---a gap we aim to address. As a test case, we take the transfer of Universal Dependencies (UD) parsing from English to a diverse set of languages and conduct two sets of experiments. In one, we analyze zero-shot performance based on the extent to which English source edges are preserved in translation. In another, we apply three linguistically motivated transformations to UD, creating more cross-lingually stable versions of it, and assess their zero-shot parsability. In order to compare parsing performance across different schemes, we perform extrinsic evaluation on the downstream task of cross-lingual relation extraction (RE) using a subset of a standard English RE benchmark translated to Russian and Korean. In both sets of experiments, our results suggest a strong relation between cross-lingual stability and zero-shot parsing performance.
While aggregate performance metrics can generate valuable insights at a large scale, their dominance means more complex and nuanced language phenomena, such as vagueness, may be overlooked. Focusing on vague terms (e.g. sunny, cloudy, young, etc.) we
inspect the behavior of visually grounded and text-only models, finding systematic divergences from human judgments even when a model's overall performance is high. To help explain this disparity, we identify two assumptions made by the datasets and models examined and, guided by the philosophy of vagueness, isolate cases where they do not hold.
In this paper, we measure variation in framing as a function of foregrounding and backgrounding in a co-referential corpus with a range of temporal distance. In one type of experiment, frame-annotated corpora grouped under event types were contrasted
, resulting in a ranking of frames with typicality rates. In contrasting between publication dates, a different ranking of frames emerged for documents that are close to or far from the event instance. In the second type of analysis, we trained a diagnostic classifier with frame occurrences in order to let it differentiate documents based on their temporal distance class (close to or far from the event instance). The classifier performs above chance and outperforms models with words.
This article addresses the role of space in re-imagining a case of
essentialist society as collective gender paranoia of biological
reconciliation, as presented in Margaret Cavendish‟s The Convent of
Pleasure (1668). Using the institution of the R
oman Catholic
convent, Cavendish‟s play interrogates biological polarity and
disavows establishing reversed gender hierarchies of empowerment
and subservience. To this effect, the play suggests a communal
psychosis, being delusively constructed by antagonistic biological
differences that generate both sexes‟ denial of cyborg or hybridized
dualism in their gender identification. In this regard, the presented
argument addresses several critical lacunae in the scholarship of The
Convent of Pleasure.
Feuerbach tried to make the power of love a kind of power that cannot be matched
with any other power as love defeats all his opponents even if God is one of them. Love is
always victorious. That's what made the concept of love in Feuerbach’s ideas
a
distinguished and unprecedented concept comparing to all concepts handled by those
philosophers before him. This kind of love dominates the body and soul together and it is
inseparable from our body, may not live outside our soul, it is the basis of the body and the
essence of the spirit.
Feuerbach wanted to make love a link between a mankind and another so there is no
love if one existence and the other is absent. Feuerbach doesn’t limit himself at this point
but goes on to ignore the existence of human being without being in love or loved by other
person. That who does not love does not exist, even religion has neither benefit nor
importance if it is not based on love because love is the reason and core in other words
love is the reason behind the existence of religion.
This study was analyzed the temporal variation of Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of natural
stands of cedrus libani in the northern humid part and eastern exposure of the Syrian
coastal mountains (Slenfeh, Jawbat Burghal), and its correlation with climatic variables
(temperature and precipitation) during the period of 2004-2014. We examined the
interannual and seasonal variation in NDVI values of Cedrus stands, and accumulative
effects of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) on stands using simple linear
regression and correlation (Pearson). The NDVI values of Cedrus libani stands showed
significant increase in Slenfeh and Jawbat Burghal (0.006, 0.004 /year) respectively. We
found that the annual mean NDVI was significantly correlated with annual mean
precipitation in Jawbat Burghal (R = 0.689).The significant increase trend of seasonal
mean NDVI was in Slenfeh summer and Jawbat Burghal winter (R = 0.638, R = 0.724)
respectively. The results showed, there were accumulative effects of temperature on
Cedrus libani in Slenfeh and Jawbat Burghal in autumn and winter, while the
accumulative effects of precipitation in autumn and summer were noted.
This paper reports on the relationship between political Interests and the process of issuing international accounting standards. The basic hypothesis of the paper is proved by taking the situation of USA and the effect of political interests in the
Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) directly and in the International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC) indirectly as well.
The (IASC) tried to eliminate differences and deepen similarities through propose many alternatives. Instead, it had started decrease alternatives, which reflects the political dimension. Besides getting the international feature. On the other hand, all IASs, historically, had come after Putting both findings together, (IAS) and (US GAAP) do not appear to be substantially different; rather they seem to be of similar quality. differently issuing American accounting standards which strength the basic hypothesis of this research and reveal the effect of American interests in issuing (IASs) and forbid undeveloped countries to utilize accounting as a tool serving economic development The paper provided results and recommendations in this record.
research The aim of this is to find an explicit relationship between the strength of fibers, bundle and
yarns. The CV values of the strength are given as well. This provides a relatively simple method for
estimation of staple yarn strength, while a
voiding some difficulties of an empirical method. The effects of
important factors such as fiber length and thickness, twist and count of yarn are considered. The results
are verified by published data in Mechanical Engineering of Textile Industries and Their Technologies,
Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Damascus University. and also in Al-Kumasiah
company in Damascus city.
This research provides suggestions if we apply it it will help in estimating directly the yarn strength
without manufacturing and suitable testing of the yarn.
