With the fast development of Deep Learning techniques, Named Entity Recognition (NER) is becoming more and more important in the information extraction task. The greatest difficulty that the NER task faces is to keep the detectability even when types
of NE and documents are unfamiliar. Realizing that the specificity information may contain potential meanings of a word and generate semantic-related features for word embedding, we develop a distribution-aware word embedding and implement three different methods to make use of the distribution information in a NER framework. And the result shows that the performance of NER will be improved if the word specificity is incorporated into existing NER methods.

Over the past decades, the neuropsychological science community has endeavored to determine the number and nature of distinguishable human cognitive abilities. Based on covariance structure analyses of inter-individual performance differences in mult
iple cognitive tasks, the ability structure has been substantiated with sufficient consensus. However, there remains a crucial open question that must be answered to develop unified theoretical views and translations toward neuropsychological applications: Is the cognitive ability structure ascertained at the behavioral level similarly reflected in the anatomical and functional properties of the brain? In the current study, we explored the cognitive ability structure derived from positive and negative networks reflected by the brains anatomical properties (thickness, myelination, curvature, and sulcus depth) that were found to be associated with performance in 15 cognitive tasks. The derived neurometric ontological structure was contrasted with the entities of psychometric ontology. Overall, we observed that the brain-derived ontological structures are partly consistent with each other, but also show interesting differences that complement the psychometric ontology. Moreover, we discovered that brain areas associated with the inferred abilities are segregated, with little or no overlap between abilities. Nevertheless, they are also integrated as they are densely connected by white matter projections with an average connection density higher than the brain connectome. The consistency and differences between psychometric and neurometric ontologies are crucial for theory building, diagnostics, and neuropsychological therapy, which highlights the need for the simultaneous and complementary consideration.
Battery Asset Management problem determines the minimum cost replacement schedules for each individual asset in a group of battery assets that operate in parallel. Battery cycle life varies under different operating conditions including temperature,
depth of discharge, charge rate, etc., and a battery deteriorates due to usage, which cannot be handled by current asset management models. This paper presents battery cycle life prognosis and its integration with parallel asset management to reduce lifecycle cost of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). A nonlinear capacity fade model is incorporated in the parallel asset management model to update battery capacity. Parametric studies have been conducted to explore the influence of different model inputs (e.g. usage rate, unit battery capacity, operating condition and periodical demand) for a five-year time horizon. Experiment results verify the reasonableness of this new framework and suggest that the increase in battery lifetime leads to decrease in lifecycle cost.
