858 Riloff, Ellen M.Bootstrapping for text learning tasksWhen applying text learning algorithms to complex tasks, it is tedious and expensive to hand-label the large amounts of training data necessary for good performance. This paper presents bootstrapping as an alternative approach to learning from large sets of labeled data. Instead of a large quantity ...Bootstrapping; Text learning algorithms; Seed information1999
859 Riloff, Ellen M.Bootstrapping method for learning semantic lexicons using extraction pattern contextsThis paper describes a bootstrapping algorithm called Basilisk that learns high-quality semantic lexicons for multiple categories. Basilisk begins with an unannotated corpus and seed words for each semantic category, which are then bootstrapped to learn new words for each category. Basilisk hypothe...Basilisk; Bootstrapping method; Semantic lexicons2002
860 Chapman, David S.Borehole temperatures and climate change: ground temperature change in south India over the past two centuriesVariations in surface g round temperature (SGT) at the Earth's surface diffuse downward in a predictable way causing systematic perturbations to the subsurface temperature field. The pioneering study of Lachenbruch and Marsh all [1986] in Alaska demonstrated that present-day borehole temperature-dep...2012-01-01
861 McDaniel, SusanBorn at the right time?: gendered generations and webs of entitlement and responsibilityAnalyses of social change and challenge in sociologies for women often start with some attention to generation. Yet, generation per se has been an underconceptualized sociological construct as a structural dimension of stratification, particularly gender stratification, or as a lens through which...Generation; Gender; Women2001
862 Wu, Yong-ShiBosonization of one-dimensional exclusons and characterization of Luttinger liquidsWe achieve a bosonization of one-dimensional ideal gas of particles obeying exclusion statistics A (so called A exclusons) at low temperatures, resulting in a new variant of c = 1 conformal field theory with compactified radius R = √1/λ. These ideal excluson gases exactly reproduce the low-7 crit...Bosonization; Exclusons; Ideal gas; Luttinger liquids1995-07
863 Mattis, Daniel C.Bound exciton and hole: an exactly solvable three-body model in any number of dimensionsA three-body problem, concerning two holes in a nondegenerate valence band and a single electron in a conduction band, with strong short-range interactions, is solved exactly in any number of dimensions. The binding depends nontrivially on the ratio of the valence to conduction bandwidths (i.e., on ...Three-body problem; Trion; Bond energies1982-09
864 Hansen, Charles D.Boundary aware reconstruction of scalar fieldsIn visualization, the combined role of data reconstruction and its classification plays a crucial role. In this paper we propose a novel approach that improves classification of different materials and their boundaries by combining information from the classifiers at the reconstruction stage. Our ap...2014-01-01
865 Tasdizen, TolgaBoundary estimation from intensity/color images with algebraic curve modelsA new concept and algorithm are presented for noniterative robust estimation of piecewise smooth curves of maximal edge strength in small image windows - typically 8 x 8 to 32 x 32. This boundary-estimation algorithm has the nice properties that it uses all the data in the window and thus can find l...2000
866 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshBounded transaction model checkingIndustrial cache coherence protocol models often have too many reachable states, preventing full reachability analysis even for small model instances (number of processors, addresses, etc.). Several partial search debugging methods are, therefore, employed, including lossy state compression using...Model checking; Reachability analysis2006-02-27
