Continuous Entailment Patterns for Lexical Inference in Context

Combining a pretrained language model (PLM) with textual patterns has been shown to help in both zero- and few-shot settings. For zero-shot performance, it makes sense to design patterns that closely resemble the text seen during self-supervised pretraining because the model has never seen anything else. Supervised training allows for more flexibility. If we allow for tokens outside the PLM's vocabulary, patterns can be adapted more flexibly to a PLM's idiosyncrasies. Contrasting patterns where a token'' can be any continuous vector from those where a discrete choice between vocabulary elements has to be made, we call our method CONtinous pAtterNs (CONAN). We evaluate CONAN on two established benchmarks for lexical inference in context (LIiC) a.k.a. predicate entailment, a challenging natural language understanding task with relatively small training data. In a direct comparison with discrete patterns, CONAN consistently leads to improved performance, setting a new state of the art. Our experiments give valuable insights on the kind of pattern that enhances a PLM's performance on LIiC and raise important questions regarding our understanding of PLMs using text patterns.

Identify Bilingual Patterns and Phrases from a Bilingual Sentence Pair

This paper presents a method for automatically identifying bilingual grammar patterns and extracting bilingual phrase instances from a given English-Chinese sentence pair. In our approach, the English-Chinese sentence pair is parsed to identify English grammar patterns and Chinese counterparts. The method involves generating translations of each English grammar pattern and calculating translation probability of words from a word-aligned parallel corpora. The results allow us to extract the most probable English-Chinese phrase pairs in the sentence pair. We present a prototype system that applies the method to extract grammar patterns and phrases in parallel sentences. An evaluation on randomly selected examples from a dictionary shows that our approach has reasonably good performance. We use human judge to assess the bilingual phrases generated by our approach. The results have potential to assist language learning and machine translation research.

Administrative behavior patterns for managers of kindergartens in the province of Damascus, according to the theory of Rnss Likert and their relationship to the creative behavior of parameters

The research aims to learn more about management styles prevalent among managers of kindergartens from the viewpoint of the parameters. Creative behavior and know the level of kindergarten teachers in the province of Damascus. It defines the relationship between the administrative and creative patterns and behavior. And know the differences between the scores of answers to sample individuals to identify managerial styles and to identify creative behavior depending on the variables of research: (qualification, years of experience). And it adopted a researcher on the analytical descriptive approach, and the researcher used a questionnaire to measure patterns of four administrative behavior patterns, and identify creative behavior. The sample consisted of search (238) parameter of kindergarten teachers in the province of Damascus.

Analysis and Detection of Anti-Patterns

This study divides to two parts. The first one highlights the antipatterns in comparison with design patterns. By the second part, we suggest a new tool which is able to detect anti-patterns in early phases of software lifecycle.

Develop a Parallel Processing System to Recognize the Deaf and Mute Gestures and Apply it based on FPGA

In this paper, we processed an array which represents the human hand image to get the characteristics of this image. So, we used FPGA technique, and the processing operation is partitioned into three threads which is carried out in parallel. Each thread is carried out using the pipeline technique by partitioning thread into four segments. After that, we evaluated the speedup that we get in result of using the pipeline technique and the parallel threads. So, we have the possibility to design an embedded system integrated into chip (SoC), and using the mobile phones as integral devices support the software and hardware resources.

The Ideological Design Of Expressionist Thought In The Configuration Mass Within Different Architectural Currents In Modern Times

The research aims to study the vulnerability of these currents of different patterns of expression in accordance with the principles for each type of the above-mentioned patterns, By practical study of two different models in place; which was influenced by different expression types according to the varying proportions, However, they are similar in the type of building and the time period.

A fractal printed Antenna designing and measuring at 10GHZ

The wireless communication devices became very important. They have been fastly developed fastly in the last few years, so, it was necessary to propose new types Antenna . A new printed patched Antenna design as, printed, a lenses and wire Antenna, are objected to improve the performance, gain and beam width of Antenna. This work propos a design and simuling of patch fractal Antenna, using Zeland. This type which depends on fractal geometry (sierpinski carpet) has a very good radiation pattern and has wide applications. The proposed Antenna parameters were studied by the help of Zeland simulator, The variation of the antenna parameters happens when the fractal parameters (as stage of growth) changes, were analysed. Finally, the proposed Antenna was praticly applied and measured at the frequency 10Ghz allowed by the microwave and Antenna laboratory.

Study and Analysis of Human Mobility Patterns

This research handles the modeling human mobility patterns in a geographical area. It also reviews well-known models along with their pros and cons. The main result we obtained says that people do not move most of time. In fact, they spend the majority of their time in certain places, homes, offices, etc. Furthermore, human mobility patterns show regularity if observed over a long-enough time duration.

The Multiharmony Concept For The Cephalometric Evaluation Of Craniofacial Patterns

All the analysis of craniofacialpatterns is essential since a considerable amountof dental compensation can mask the severity of a malocclusion. Disagreement prevails over the standards that should be used to judge the individual values.In this study, a method is presented—the multiharmony method [MHM], which assists in treatment planning.The approach was applied to a data set of 75 Syrian adults [35 males and 40 females, mean age 23 years] that had not received orthodontic treatment. They were selected frompatients enrolled at Tishreen University Dental colleage, Lattakia, Syria. The subjects had an ideal or near-ideal occlusion [Class I molar relationship, not more than 4 mm overbite and overjet, and no missing teeth] and a well-balanced face.With multiple regression analysis, the expected value that each angle should take in a norm individual when the remaining angles are given is estimated. The residual difference between the measured angle and its expected value then indicates the deviation from a harmonic appearance in the respective angle. The MHM can serves as a supportive tool for the orthodontic expert in the diagnosiss and decision for potential treatment.

Relationship between the Cant of The Functional Occlusal Plane and the Vertical facial patterns (CBCT scan Study)

The dentoalveolar mechanism, within the dentofacial complex, acts to camouflage the vertical base bone discrepancies resulting in differences in the functional occlusal plane cant (FOPC). Considering this, ensures more stable orthodontic treatment results. This research aims to study the possibility of a relationship between the FOPC (represented by anterior and posterior occlusal planes) and the vertical facial growth patterns (VFGPs) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The research sample consisted of 50 CBCTs (22 males and 28 females) aged 18 to 35 years with no prior orthodontic treatments. Their FOPCs were studied according to the VFGPs. Pearson's correlation coefficient was then calculated for all the data obtained. The study showed that the posterior occlusal plane has a clearer correlation to the VFGPs than to the traditional occlusal plane. The posterior occlusal plane showed a strong correlation with the VFGPs in the female sample.
