Agreement-based Learning of Parallel Lexicons and Phrases from Non-Parallel CorporaResearch Paper • February 1st, 2017
We introduce an agreement-based ap- proach to learning parallel lexicons and phrases from non-parallel corpora. The basic idea is to encourage two asym- metric latent-variable translation models (i.e., source-to-target and target-to-source) to agree on identifying latent phrase and word alignments. The agreement is de- fined at both word and phrase levels. We develop a Viterbi EM algorithm for jointly training the two unidirectional models ef- ficiently. Experiments on the Chinese- English dataset show that agreement- based learning significantly improves both alignment and translation performance.

Agreement in Ibibio: From Every Head, To Every Head* Mark Baker and Willie Udo Willie Rutgers UniversityResearch Paper • May 5th, 2020
Abstract: The Ibibio language has the special property that agreement with a single grammatical subject can appear multiple times in the same clause. After showing that this is a general phenomenon in the language, we argue that every verbal functional head in Ibibio—Aspect, Auxiliary, Mood, and Participle, as well as Tense—acts as a probe, capable of initiating an Agree relationship. Furthermore, a close comparison of agreement in indicative, subjunctive, negative, and infinitival clauses shows that these functional heads do not agree with the subject directly; rather each agrees with the next highest functional head within the extended projection. The facts of Ibibio thus point toward a version of Chomsky’s theory of Agree in which any functional head can be the probe in an agreement relation, and any functional head can be the goal in such a relation.
PENGARUH PROFESIONALISME, PELATIHAN DAN MOTIVASI TERHADAP KINERJA NURSE DAN CAREGIVER INDONESIAResearch Paper • May 28th, 2020
Abstract: Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) is the only bilateral cooperation framework managed by Indonesia, which includes the movement of natural persons. Moreover, the Government of Japan gives opportunities for medical personnel especially Indonesian nurse and caregiver to work in Japan. Therefore, the Government of Indonesia requires to ake the higest possible advantages of the cooperation program by preparing Indonesian nurse and caregiver to compete with those of other countries. Thus Indonesia not only has skilled and qualified workforce, but also able to maintain its existence in the international world. This research is aim to demonstrate the effects of professionalism, training, and motivation on the performance of Indonesian nurse and caregiver. In this case, we employ multiple regression model by taking variables of professionalism (X1), training (X2), motivation (X3) as the independent variables and performance of Indonesian nurse and caregiver (Y) as the depe
annotator agreement on coherence relation anno-Research Paper • April 12th, 2022
When annotating coherence relations, inter- annotator agreement tends to be lower on im- plicit relations than on relations that are ex- plicitly marked by means of a connective or a cue phrase. This paper explores one possi- ble explanation for this: the additional infer- encing involved in interpreting implicit rela- tions compared to explicit relations. If this is the main source of disagreements, agreement should be highly related to the specificity of the connective. Using the CCR framework, we annotated relations from TED talks that were marked by a very specific marker, marked by a highly ambiguous connective, or not marked by means of a connective at all. We indeed reached higher inter-annotator agreement on explicit than on implicit relations. However, agreement on underspecified relations was not necessarily in between, which is what would be expected if agreement on implicit relations mainly suffers because annotators have less specific instructions for inferring the relatio

NUMBER AGREEMENT IN BRITISH AND AMERICAN ENGLISH: DISAGREEING TO AGREE COLLECTIVELYResearch Paper • March 7th, 2006
British andAmerican speakers exhibit different verb number agreement patterns when sentence subjects have collective headnouns. From linguistic andpsycholinguistic accounts of how agree- ment is implemented, three alternative hypotheses can be derived to explain these differences. The hypotheses involve variations in the representation of notional number, disparities in how notional andgrammatical number are used, and inequalities in the grammatical number specifica- tions of collective nouns. We carried out a series of corpus analyses, production experiments, and norming studies to test these hypotheses. The results converge to suggest that British and American speakers are equally sensitive to variations in notional number and implement subject- verb agreement in much the same way, but are likely to differ in the lexical specifications of number for collectives. The findings support a psycholinguistic theory that explains verb and pronoun agreement within a parallel architecture of l

Low-energy particle production perpendicular to the event plane in three-jet events produced in Z decays in e+e− annihilation is measured and compared to that perpendicular to the event axis in two-jet events. The topology de- pendence of the hadron production ratio is found to agree with a leading-order QCD prediction. This agreement and especially the need for the presence of a destructive interference term gives evidence for the coherent nature of gluon radiation. Hadron production in three-jet events is found to be directly propor- tional to a single topological scale function of the inter-jet angles. The slope of the dependence of the multiplicity with respect to the topological scale was measured to be:

Little-v0 Agreement and Templatic Morphology in Ch’olResearch Paper • July 26th, 2016
With this background in place, we now return to the connection to vowel-initial roots, the CVC requirement, and the location of the ergative morpheme. In particular I argue, following work cited above and discussed in detail in Bennett (to appear), that these roots are underlyingly vowel initial—/VC/—and that the glottal stop is epenthetic, inserted to satisfy the CVC templatic requirement. Following the general templatic proposal, I assume that if a vowel initial root like

Number, Honor, and Agreement in Hindi-UrduResearch Paper • March 15th, 2023
In Hindi-Urdu, the honorific marker ji: can be added to a third person nom- inal to signal honorification of the nominal referent. The use of ji: triggers plural agreement, despite the nominal itself being singular. We propose that the formative that carries the semantics of plurality ( ) and the formative that carries the semantics of honorification (Hon) occupy the same syntactic posi- tion, which we identify as Num. These two formatives have the same formal features, which correspond to the features responsible for what is called plu- ral agreement, and make the same selectional demand of their complement, namely that it appear in the oblique form. However the formatives have dis- tinct realizations and distinct semantics. Both can have zero realization or overt realization; for honorification the overt realization can be at least -ji:, sa:b, mahoday, sir, ma’am, and for pluralization -a˜:, -o˜. The two formatives are in complementary distribution; Hon blocks and vice-versa; this me

Agreement and syncretism in Esahie1Research Paper • June 19th, 2018
(Central-Tano, Kwa, Niger-Congo) by focusing on agreement and syncretism. It offers a comprehensive description of these inflectional phenomena in an attempt to test and account for the strength of the inflectional system of an otherwise under-described language. It shows among other things that morpho-syntactic features including number, person, animacy, and case, all enter the Esahie agreement system in various contexts. Adopting Corbett’s (2006) criteria for canonicity of agreement, this work demonstrates that, in Esahie, DP-internal agreement is more canonical than anaphora agreement. A general paucity of inflection marking is argued to account for the several instances of syncretism in Esahie. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that syncretism is pervasive in the pronominal system of Esahie. Collected largely through elicitation from native speakers, the Esahie data discussed in this work provides empirical support for the irreducibility hypothesis proposed by Stump (2016). Hence
How Do Natural Disasters Change Consumption Behaviour?Research Paper • September 8th, 2021
This study examines the effects of natural disasters on consumption in Thailand and the Philippines, using three large natural disasters for each country. A decline in consumption is observed after natural disaster in Thailand. This decline stems from a reduction in expenditures of the service sector including recreation, restaurants, and hotels, though the decline is partially offset by increased spending on non-durable goods. For the Philippines, declines in overall consumer spending are observed in response to natural disasters with no specific sectoral responses in sample. The policy implications of natural disasters are then discussed in the final part of the paper.
Preference-Learning with Qualitative Agreement for Sentence Level Emotional AnnotationsResearch Paper • August 19th, 2021
The perceptual evaluation of emotional attributes is noisy due to inconsistencies between annotators. The low inter-evaluator agreement arises due to the complex nature of emotions. Con- ventional approaches average scores provided by multiple an- notators. While this approach reduces the influence of dissi- dent annotations, previous studies have showed the value of considering individual evaluations to better capture the under- lying ground-truth. One of these approaches is the qualitative agreement (QA) method, which provides an alternative frame- work that captures the inherent trends amongst the annotators. While previous studies have focused on using the QA method for time-continuous annotations from a fixed number of anno- tators, most emotional databases are annotated with attributes at the sentence-level (e.g., one global score per sentence). This study proposes a novel formulation based on the QA framework to estimate reliable sentence-level annotations for preference- learni
The Discount Window and the Great DepressionResearch Paper • March 2nd, 2018
Widespread agreement exists that the Federal Reserve did not add enough reserves to the banking system in the early 1930s to prevent banking panics and a sharp monetary contraction. But banks should have been able to obtain ample reserves through the discount window. This paper argues that concerns about the use of the discount window to fund stock market speculation in early 1929 and about the quality of collateral in the 1930s conflicted with the Federal Reserve’s mandate to provide emergency liquidity assistance. It presents evidence, based on a panel of Federal Reserve district-level data, of a sharp decline in the demand for borrowed reserves consistent with a tightening of the terms of access to the discount window. The change in policy mattered: bank failures varied inversely with the amount of borrowed reserves provided during the currency drains of the Great Depression.

Indestructibility and the level-by-level agreement between strong compactness and supercompactness∗Research Paper • November 9th, 2018
Abstract. Can a supercompact cardinal κ be Laver indestructible when there is a level-by-level agreement between strong compactness and supercompactness? In this article, we show that if there is a sufficiently large cardinal above κ, then no, it cannot. Conversely, if one weakens the requirement either by demanding less indestructibility, such as requiring only indestructibility by stratified posets, or less level-by-level agreement, such as requiring it only on measure one sets, then yes, it can.

Agreement problems, such as consensus, atomic broadcast, and group membership, are central to the implementation of fault-tolerant distributed systems. Despite the diversity of algorithms that have been proposed for solving agreement problems in the past years, almost all solutions are crash detection based (CDB ). We say that an algorithm is CDB if it uses some information about the status crashed /not crashed of processes. Randomized consensus algorithms are rare exceptions non-CDB algorithms. In this paper, we revisit the issue of non-CDB algorithms. Instead of randomization, we consider ordering oracles. Ordering oracles have a theoretical interest (e.g., they extend the state of the art of non-CDB algorithms) as well as a practical interest (e.g., they remove altogether the burden involved in tuning timeout mechanisms). To illustrate their use, we present solutions to consensus and atomic broadcast, and evaluate the performance of the atomic broadcast algorithm in a cluster of wor

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IN RESPECT OF THE ADJUDICATION OF GENOCIDEResearch Paper • October 16th, 2020
By opting for the approach based on the dichotomy of individual criminal responsibility for the act of genocide and the responsibility of the State in both the Bosnian and Croatian Genocide cases, the International Court of Justice enabled the establishment of a jurisprudential connection with the judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. After outlining the reasons for adopt ing such an approach, which are classified as both positive and negative, the author offers an extensive analysis of the differences between the ICJ and ICTY, stressing the necessity to take these differences into account when considering the interconnection between the “World Court” and the ICTY as a specialized tribunal. The paper fo cuses on the need for a balanced and critical approach to the jurisprudence of the ICTY as regards genocide, by differentiating between the Tribunal’s factual and legal findings.The author insists that a substantive criterion, not a formal one, must
Dynamic Service Level Agreement Management for Efficient Operation of Elastic Information SystemsResearch Paper • September 8th, 2011
The growing awareness that effective Information Systems (IS), which contribute to sustainable business processes, secure a long-lasting competitive advantage has increasingly focused corporate transformation efforts on the efficient usage of Information Technology (IT). In this context, we provide a new perspective on the management of enterprise information systems and introduce a novel framework that harmonizes economic and operational goals. Concretely, we target elastic n-tier applications with dynamic on-demand cloud resource provisioning. We design and implement a novel integrated management model for information systems that induces economic influence factors into the operation strategy to adapt the performance goals of an enterprise information system dynamically (i.e., online at runtime). Our framework forecasts future user behavior based on historic data, analyzes the impact of workload on system performance based on a non-linear performance model, analyzes the economic impa

Semantic and syntactic agreement in RussianResearch Paper • January 29th, 2022
Agreement can be seen as a window into the mind’s representation of the interface between form and meaning. This is because distinctions in formal features, such as number or grammatical gender, correlate with distinctions in the real world, such as numerosity or natural gender. In order to understand the nature of this interface, it is informative to consider cases where there is a conflict between syntactic and semantic agreement. For example, in Russian, the word vrach (“doctor”) is syntactically masculine, but it may refer to a female individual. Thus, an agreeing element will bear either masculine or feminine features depending on whether semantic or syntactic agreement is involved.

THE SILK GARMENT BETWEEN ART, PHYSIOLOGIE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACTResearch Paper • November 24th, 2010
Abstract. The garment, beyond its aesthetic, social and body-protection purpose, plays an important role to determinate the state of the wearer. The individual wearing the garment perceive sensations caused by his garment transmitting to the viewer visual images regarding his personality and emotional state. It is in this context that the essential role behoves to the materiality of the garment. Throughout history, the individual perceived, unconsciously, the causes, the state incited by the extraordinary textile materiality of the silk. Therefore, today the silk is used for the garment because of its esthetic and as a consequence of knowing its psycho-physiological effects.
