中文基本复合名词短语语义关系体系及知识库构建

名词短语一直是中外语言学领域的重要研究对象,近年来在自然语言处理领域也受到了研究者的持续关注。英文方面,已建立了一定规模的名词短语语义关系知识库。但迄今为止,尚未建立相应或更大规模的描述名词短语语义关系的中文资源。该文借鉴国内外诸多学者对名词短语语义分类的研究成果,对大规模真实语料中的基本复合名词短语实例进行试标注与分析,建立了中文基本复合名词短语语义关系体系及相应句法语义知识库,该库能够为中文基本复合名词短语句法语义的研究提供基础数据资源。目前该库共含有18 281条高频基本复合名词短语,每条短语均标注了语义关系、短语结构及是否指称实体等信息,每条短语包含的两个名词还分别标注了语义类信息。语义类信息基于北京大学《现代汉语语义词典》。基于该知识库,该文还做了基本复合名词短语句法语义的初步统计与分析。     

Unsupervised regions based segmentation using object discovery

We present a new unsupervised algorithm to discovery and segment out common objects from multiple images. Compared with previous cosegmentation methods, our algorithm performs well even when the appearance variations in the foregrounds are more substantial than those in some areas of the backgrounds. Our algorithm mainly includes two parts: the foreground object discovery scheme and the iterative region allocation algorithm. Two terms, a region-saliency prior and a region-repeatness measure, are introduced in the foreground object discovery scheme to detect the foregrounds without any supervisory information. The iterative region allocation algorithm searches the optimal solution for the final segmentation with the constraints from a maximal spanning tree, and an effective color-based model is utilized during this process. The comparative experimental results show that the proposed algorithm matches or outperforms several previous methods on several standard datasets.     

A method of generating translations of unseen n‐grams by using proportional analogy

In recent years, statistical machine translation has gained much attention. The phrase‐based statistical machine translation model has made significant advancement in translation quality over the word‐based model. In this paper, we attempt to apply the technique of proportional analogy to statistical machine translation systems. We propose a novel approach to apply proportional analogy to generate translations of unseen n‐grams from the phrase table for phrase‐based statistical machine translation. Experiments are conducted with two datasets of different sizes. We also investigate two methods to integrate n‐grams translations produced by proportional analogy into the state‐of‐the‐art statistical machine translation system, Moses.¹ The experimental results show that unseen n‐grams translations generated using the technique of proportional analogy are rewarding for statistical machine translation systems with small datasets. © 2016 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Application Aware Topology Generation for Surface Wave Networks-on-Chip

The networks-on-chip （NoC） communication has an increasingly larger impact on the system power consumption and performance. Emerging technologies, like surface wave, are believed to have lower transmission latency and power consumption over the conventional wireless NoC. Therefore, this paper studies how to optimize the network performance and power consumption by giving the packet-switching fabric and traffic pattern of each application. Compared with the conventional method of wire-linked, which adds wireless transceivers by using the genetic algorithm （GA）, the proposed maximal declining sorting algorithm （MDSA） can effectively reduce time consumption by as much as 20.4% to 35.6%. We also evaluate the power consumption and configuration time to prove the effective of the proposed algorithm.     

Development of PCA-based cluster quantile regression (PCA-CQR) framework for streamflow prediction: Application to the Xiangxi river watershed,China

In this study, a PCA-based cluster quantile regression (PCA-CQR) method was proposed through integrating principal component analysis and quantile regression approaches into a stepwise cluster analysis framework. In detail, the principal component analysis was adopted to overcome the multicollinearity among the explanatory variables, while the quantile regression approach was used to provide probabilistic information in prediction. The proposed PCA-CQR method can effectively capture discrete and nonlinear relationships between explanatory and response variables. The applicability of PCA-CQR was demonstrated by a case study of monthly streamflow prediction in the Xiangxi River, China. The nonlinearity between the hydro-meteorological variables and the streamflow measurements was characterized through the measure of maximal information coefficient (MIC), which demonstrated the need of the proposed PCA-CQR method. The results showed that the previous monthly streamflow and precipitation, as well as potential evapotranspiration in current month posed significant nonlinear impacts on the streamflow in current month. Three components could well reflect the total variance of the input variables. Comparison between traditional SCA and PCA-CQR showed that the proposed approach could provide more accurate predictions than traditional SCA methods. Moreover, probabilistic forecasts could be provided by PCA-CQR, and the 90% predictive intervals could well bracket the observations in both calibration and validation periods. Also, sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the impacts of the control parameters in PCA-CQR on the performance of the proposed model. The results showed the proposed PCA-CQR improved the robustness of traditional SCA. Finally, comparison among PCA-CQR, GRNN and MLR also showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Performance analysis of modulation diversity with OSTBC transmission over Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper performance of modulation diversity with multiple-input multiple-output transmission is studied over flat Nakagami-m fading channels with arbitrary fading parameter m. In the system, orthogonal space-time block coding and maximal ratio combining like combiner are used for transmission and reception, respectively. Exact pairwise error probability expression is derived to observe performance of the system. Moreover, in order to obtain the diversity order of the system, asymptotic pairwise error probability expression is also derived. Optimum rotation angles are analytically obtained for binary and quadrature phase shift keying modulations. Theoretical results are validated by Monte Carlo simulations.

Maximal covering location problem with price decision for revenue maximization in a competitive environment

In this article, we extend the classical maximal covering model in a competitive environment by including a price decision. We formulate a revenue maximization model and propose two procedures to solve it. By a careful examination of the relationships between the maximal covering problems for different prices, we reveal interesting properties of the deduced revenue maximization model, leading to a full enumeration solution approach. With the help of two more properties we develop a second, more intelligent solution procedure. Computational experiments show promising results for a small, medium and large case study.
