基于上下文信息和排序学习的实体链接方法

为解决英语命名实体链接问题,提出了一种基于上下文信息和排序学习的实体链接方法. 首先使用上下文信息对实体指称进行扩充,并在维基百科中检索候选实体列表;然后通过抽取实体指称与候选实体之间的各类特征,利用ListNet排序算法对候选实体列表进行排序,选出Top1的候选实体作为链接结果;最后对未找到候选的实体指称即NIL实体,通过实体聚类算法进行关联链接. 实验结果表明,该方法在KBP 2013实体链接数据集上的F值为0.660,比KBP 2013实体链接评测中所有参赛队伍的平均F值高0.092,比系统BUPTTeam2013的F值高0.162.     

Do neuropsychological tests have the same meaning in Spanish speakers as they do in English speakers?

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine whether neuropsychological tests translated into Spanish measure the same cognitive constructs as the original English versions. Method: Older adult participants (N = 2,664), who did not exhibit dementia from the Washington Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP), a community-based cohort from northern Manhattan, were evaluated with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. The study cohort includes both English (n = 1,800) and Spanish speakers (n = 864) evaluated in their language of preference. Invariance analyses were conducted across language groups on a structural equation model comprising four neuropsychological factors (memory, language, visual-spatial ability, and processing speed). Results: The results of the analyses indicated that the four-factor model exhibited partial measurement invariance, demonstrated by invariant factor structure and factor loadings but nonequivalent observed score intercepts. Conclusion: The finding of invariant factor structure and factor loadings provides empirical evidence to support the implicit assumption that scores on neuropsychological tests are measuring equivalent psychological traits across these two language groups. At the structural level, the model exhibited invariant factor variances and covariances. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Effects of cross-language transfer on first-language phonological awareness and literacy skills in Chinese children receiving English instruction.

The present investigation consists of two studies examining the effects of cross-language transfer on the development of phonological awareness and literacy skills among Chinese children who received different amounts of English instruction. Study 1 compared Chinese students in regular English programs (92 first graders and 93 third graders) with peers who did not receive English instruction (86 first graders and 91 third graders). Study 2 was a 2-year longitudinal study that followed Chinese children from the beginning of Grade 1 to the end of Grade 2; the children attended either an intensive English program (79 children) or a regular English program (80 children). In both studies, children received phonological awareness tasks in English and Chinese, and literacy measures in Chinese. Results suggest that (a) English instruction accelerates the development of Chinese phonological awareness and Pinyin skills through cross-language transfer; (b) the pattern of cross-language transfer reflects the phonological features of English, the source language; and (c) a threshold level of 2nd language proficiency is required before any positive effects can be detected in the 1st language.

视觉感知式场景文字检测定位方法

针对自然场景中复杂背景干扰检测的问题,本文提出一种基于视觉感知机制的场景文字检测定位方法。人类视觉感知机制通常分为快速并行预注意步骤与慢速串行注意步骤。本文方法基于人类感知机制提出一种场景文字检测定位方法,该方法首先通过两种视觉显著性方法进行预注意步骤,然后利用笔画特征以及文字相互关系实现注意步骤。本文方法在ICDAR 2013与场景汉字数据集中均取得较有竞争力的结果,实验表明可以较好地用于复杂背景的自然场景英文和汉字的检测。
