To maintain utterance quality of a persona-aware dialog system, inappropriate utterances for the persona should be thoroughly filtered. When evaluating the appropriateness of a large number of arbitrary utterances to be registered in the utterance da
tabase of a retrieval-based dialog system, evaluation metrics that require a reference (or a correct'' utterance) for each evaluation target cannot be used. In addition, practical utterance filtering requires the ability to select utterances based on the intensity of persona characteristics. Therefore, we are developing metrics that can be used to capture the intensity of persona characteristics and can be computed without references tailored to the evaluation targets. To this end, we explore existing metrics and propose two new metrics: persona speaker probability and persona term salience. Experimental results show that our proposed metrics show weak to moderate correlations between scores of persona characteristics based on human judgments and outperform other metrics overall in filtering inappropriate utterances for particular personas.
Many people aim for change, but not everyone succeeds. While there are a number of social psychology theories that propose motivation-related characteristics of those who persist with change, few computational studies have explored the motivational s
tage of personal change. In this paper, we investigate a new dataset consisting of the writings of people who manifest intention to change, some of whom persist while others do not. Using a variety of linguistic analysis techniques, we first examine the writing patterns that distinguish the two groups of people. Persistent people tend to reference more topics related to long-term self-improvement and use a more complicated writing style. Drawing on these consistent differences, we build a classifier that can reliably identify the people more likely to persist, based on their language. Our experiments provide new insights into the motivation-related behavior of people who persist with their intention to change.
There have been numerous studies dealing with the environmental and social aspects of the
type of buildings with internal courtyards, through studying the functions of the internal
courtyard, environmental, utilitarian, social and formative. but th
ese studies did not address
the importance of internal courtyard in achieving the ease of spatial orientation, through its
role in easy access to the space required In buildings in general, and in university buildings
in particular.
The research starts from the following hypothesis: The morphological and Syntactical
characteristics of the internal courtyard of the university buildings affect the ease of
orientation of the users, and aims to identify these characteristics that achieve easy access
to the goal. For this purpose, including theoretical and practical colleges, where a special
description of the morphological characteristics of the internal courtyard in the university
buildings, and determinants that help the designer in the use of the internal courtyard in
designing of spatial configurations of the university buildings to achieve the ease of spatial
orientation.
The study, has Focused on determination of the most important hydrochemical
characteristics of water at AL-kabir alshemali estuary area by determination the
concentration of nutrient ions (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphates and silicates) and th
e
factors affecting them. Water samples were collected from several stations of that area
between March 2017 and January 2018.
The highest concentrations of nutrient throughout the year were reported at river estuary
point (K0), a depression in their concentrations was observed in the station distanced
away from the river estuary point, compatible with salinity gradient. River estuary point
(K0) formed the main source of nutrients that are distributed to other stations.
Nutrient concentrations showed clear gradual depression in winter down to more than
1,000 meters from the estuary point, while the gradient in summer has less extension, It
was within the first 50 meters in some monthes.
The research was carried out in the agricultural season 2016-2017 the village of
DweirRaslan Tartous governorate with three planting dates (20 November - 10 December -
1 January) and three densities (12 - 14 - 16 plants / m2) Where the planting tim
e was the
main pieces and the plant density occupied the dissecting pieces once to study the effect of
planting date and plant density on some morphological characteristics of white thermos
plant.
The results showed that dates of the early dates (November 20) were higher in plant height,
with an average of 64 cm and surface area of the paper surface at an average of 24.367
thousand. M 2 / ha and in shape of the length of the century with an average of 7.50 cm.
As for the plant density, the plants of density12 plants / m 2 in the height of plant exceeded
an average of 65.6 cm and length of the century with an average of 8.13 cm, while the
plants of density 16 plants / m 2 in the area of paper area average 24.213 thousand. M2 / ha
In developing countries, where resources are often scarce, land availability, productivity potential, capability and sustainability for agriculture and, planning and maximizing the use of the land resources for a particular land utilization type is e
ssential. In order to ensure appropriate decision and, continued and sustainable productivity, thereby continuing to support the population economically without degradation, land use planning is essential. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems(GIS) are useful tools in land use planning processes .in this study 4 landscape units (costal leveled plains ,valleys and channel bed, Piedmont :slight slopping ,moderately slopping ,sever slopping ,and Summit unit) were described and compared its characteristics with the land utilization requirements for 6 land utilization types (LUT1: irrigated citrus low mechanized ,LUT2: irrigated potato high mechanized ,LUT3: irrigated tomato medium mechanized,LUT4: rainfed olive low mechanized,LUT5:rainfed wheat low mechanized, LUT6:natural forests)by using LAMIS program .the results showed that43.07% of studied area is moderate suitability S3, 27.9% is low suitabilityS4 ,and 20.24% is unsuitable N1.the land suitability evaluation for LUT2 :35.18% good suitability S2 ,35.17% moderate suitabilityS3 and 20.24% low suitability S4 and for LUT3:50.97% good suitability S2,20.04% moderate suitabilityS3 and 20.24% low suitability S4. 43.07% of lands are very suitable S1 for LUT4 ,27.91% good suitability S2 and 20.24% moderate suitabilityS3.for LUT6 ; land suitability evaluation shown that 59.24% of lands are very suitable S1 and 31.93% good suitable S2.
Land use planning processes include matching between physical and socio-economic conditions by using Definite program .optimal land utilization types are determined depending on 3 multi-criteria ( costs ,gross margin , water requirements for irrigation) and according to two scenarios ( SC1:conservative scenario with concerned to water requirements , SC2:economic scenario with concerned to gross margin ).the results showed that LUT4 is the optimal current land use type of all three physiographic units (costal leveled plains ,valleys and channel bed and slight slopping).2 suggested land utilization types ( LUT7:irrigated kiwi low mechanized ,LUT8:irrigated groundnuts high mechanized) are proposed to costal leveled plains and compared with LUT4,comparison results shown that LUT4 is the optimal land use according to SC1 and LUT7 is the optimal land use type according to SC2.for valley and
channel bed unit , the optimal land use type according to SC1 is multiple land use type ( rainfed wheat under rainfed olive trees) and according to SC2 is LUT7.3 land utilization types(LUT7,LUT8,LUT9: rainfed lentil low mechanized)are suggested for slight slopping piedmont .the results of planning process showed that the optimal land use type is LUT4 for both scenarios SC1,SC2.
The research looks at the image of the ideal man represented by the
character of prophet Mohammed (pba) that is dealt with by Imam Ali in
'NahjulBalaghah' .
The research begins by showing the opinion of some philosophers in
man in general and the
ideal man in particular . then , it moves to deal with
'the ideal man' . the idea that occupies most of the research .it studies that in
accordance with a preface which refines the characteristics of Prophet
Mohammed supervened by one of Imam Ali`s speeches in which he mentions
the characteristics of the prophet (pba)to make it abvious the characteristics of
the ideal man or what the expected image of man should be that's all done in a
mere, distinct , technical , linguistic from .
the research sheds alight on man's different deeds and his multi –
aspect elements prevailing the appealing aspects in the speech and the impact
of technical images , the language , the cadence in exposing the image of the
ideal man- the prophet himself making its context and the speech it put within
very clear .
