Using genre to improve web search

Mark A. Rosso: Using Genre to Improve Web Search (Under the direction of Stephanie W. Haas) The dissertation explores the use of genre as a document descriptor in order to improve the effectiveness of web searching. A major issue to be resolved is the identification of what document categories should be used as genres. As genre is a “folk typology”, document categories must enjoy widespread recognition by their intended user groups, in order to qualify as genres. Three user studies were conducted to develop a genre palette and show that it is recognizable to users. A final study aimed to determine the palette’s usefulness, in simulated web search scenarios. The first study was a survey of user terminology for web pages. Three participants separated 100 webpage printouts into stacks according to genre, assigning names and definitions to each genre. The second study aimed to refine the resulting set of forty-eight (often conceptually and lexically similar) genre names and definitions into a smaller palette of user-preferred terminology. Ten participants classified the same 100 webpages. A set of five principles for creating a genre palette from individuals’ sortings was developed, and the list of 48 was trimmed to 18 genres. The third study aimed to show that users would agree on the genres of webpages, when choosing from the genre palette. In an online experiment in which 257 participants categorized a new set of 55 pages using the18 genres, on average, over 70% agreed on the genre of each page.
PENGARUH BUDAYA JAWA DALAM TARIAN SUNDA KLASIK DI BANDUNG JAWA BARAT

Kesenian tari sunda klasik merupakan salah satu bentuk seni tari yang masih patuh berpegang pada pakem-pakem yang tidak boleh dilanggar, namun seiring dengan adanya proses perubahan sosial, sehingga banyak pakem yang sudah dilanggar. Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk mengkaji bagaimana budaya Jawa mempengaruhi tarian klasik sunda yang ada saat ini di Kota Bandung. Tulisan ini didasarkan dari hasil penelusuran dokumen-dokumen terkait dengan tema kajian ini bagaimana budaya Jawa mempengaruhi tarian sunda klasik. Dari hasil analisa diketahui proses pengaruh tersebut berlangsung lama, ternyata pengaruh budaya priyayi yang diidentikan dengan perilaku ‘alus’ yang lebih banyak mempengaruhi tarian sundan klasik. Budaya alus ini berasal dari konsep priyayi yang disimbolkan dengan perilaku yang lemah lembut yang disebut ‘alus’. Beberapa tarian sunda klasik yang dipengaruhi budaya ‘alus’ diantaranya tarian merak dan topeng. Pola hubungan yang terjadi dari pengaruh tersebut yakni 1) Kerjasama , ini ditandai adanya kontak antara etnis Jawa dan etnis Sunda, 2) Konflik , terjadi pada penerapan pakem atau pelanggaran, dan 3) kompetisi yaitu dalam hal menciptakan karya-karya seni tari.
Integrating Parsing and Word Alignment in Syntax-Based Machine Translation

Training a state-of-the-art syntax-based statistical machine translation (MT) system to translate from a source language into a target language requires a large parallel corpus of example sentences in the source language translated into the target language by a human; a word alignment (word-to-word correspondence between each source-target sentence pair); and a parse tree (syntactic representation) of each sentence in the source language, target language, or both. From these resources, the string-to-tree syntax-based MT system used in this thesis [34, 33] acquires rules governing the process of translating a source string into a target parse tree. After training, these rules are used to translate previously unseen source sentences into the target language. The parallel corpora used to train current state-of-the-art systems are too large for manual annotation; instead, word alignment and parsing must be performed automatically. There are two problems with current approaches to automatic word alignment and parsing. First, both processes introduce errors that propagate through the pipeline. Improving the accuracy of either process can therefore improve translation quality. Second, the two processes are typically performed independently. Since each process produces constraints that can be used to guide the other, we can improve the accuracy of both processes by integrating them more closely. Word alignment and parsing jointly determine the set of translation rules acquired by a system during training, so it is desirable to optimize them both in order to produce the best translation rules possible. In this thesis, we address these two problems as follows. First, we recombine the output of multiple parsers, improving parse and translation quality. Second, we use features of the word alignment to correct parse errors. Third, we use features of the parse trees to correct word alignment errors, improving alignment and translation quality. Fourth, we integrate word alignment and parsing by producing n-best lists of candidates for each process, and discriminatively reranking (word alignment/parse tree) pairs to optimize the quality of the extracted translation rules. Our results demonstrate that integrating word alignment and parsing improves the accuracy of each process, and in some cases improves translation quality relative to a state-of-the-art syntax-based MT system.

A Study of Teaching University Extension Classes by Tele-lecture.

After an overview of literature on tele-lecture models, a study was made of the applicability of teaching university extension courses by tele-lecture and electrowriter. At West Virginia University, courses in mining engineering and in modern mathematics were given to college classes (control group) and also, using tele-lecture and electrowriter, to extension classes in Beckley, 265 miles distant (experimental group). Comparative analysis of the achievement of the two groups, using the T-Test and F Ratio, showed that achievement by the extension classes was equal to, or significantly greater than, that of students in the on-campus classes. Analysis of extension student questionnaire responses, using the Mann-Whitney U Test, supported the thesis that success in tele-lecture teaching is greater when the professor limits continuous lecturing to 20-25 minutes, provides printed material, uses audiovisual techniques as a supplement, makes a number of personal visits (two or three) to the class, and bases the class on problem solving techniques. (The questionnaire is included.) (DM)
Mitigation of Arsenic-induced Increases in Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and Haematological Derangements by Ethanol Leaf Extract of Irvingia gabonensis

Aim: To investigate the effect of ethanol leaf extract of Irvingia gabonensis (ELEIG) on sodium arsenite (SA)-induced hepatic pro-inflammatory cytokines and haematological derangements in Wistar rats. Study Design: Fifty five Wistar rats weighing between 100 g and 161 g were randomly distributed to eleven (11) groups (n=5). Group 1 (control) had feed and water only. Group 2 received SA at a dose of 4.1 mg/kg body weight (kgbw) for 14 days. Groups 3-11 received ELEIG with or without SA. Place and Duration of Study: Biochemistry Department, University of Uyo and Biochemistry Department, University of Benin. The duration of the study was 14 days. Original Research Article Ewere et al.; AJRB, 7(1): 36-47, 2020; Article no.AJRB. 59531 37 Methodology: Treatment was done orally for 14 days. Immunological markers: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and haematological indices: red blood cell (RBC) count, haemoglobin (HB) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), white blood cell (WBC) count and its differentials and platelet (PLT) count were used to determine the immunomodulatory and haematological effects of the extract. Results: Intoxication with SA caused significant (p ˂ 0.05) increases in hepatic TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-4 levels and a significant decrease in hepatic IL-10 level, relative to control. The SA treatment also caused significant (p ˂ 0.05) decreases in RBC, HB, PCV MCH, MCHC, MCV, PLT and monocyte counts as well as significant (p ˂ 0.05) increases in WBC, lymphocyte, basophil, eosinophil and neutrophil counts, relative to control. However, post-treatment and concomitant treatment with ELEIG ameliorated the noxious effect of SA. In addition, ELEIG alone at various doses produced results with most of the assayed parameters having values comparable with those control. Conclusion: These results indicate that ELEIG mitigates SA-induced inflammation and haematological perturbations in Wistar rats.

Multicore Scheduling for Network Applications Based on Highest Random Weight

The widening spectrum of network applications incurs increasing stress on physical resources for both the network infrastructure and the web servers. Meanwhile, the emergence of faster Ethernet has shifted the bottleneck of network performance to the processing capability of the web servers. This trend has driven the prevalence of Chip Multiprocessors (CMP, a.k.a. multicore). However, even running on the state of the art multicore web servers, the network performance still falls short of expectations. In this study, we optimize multicore scheduling in both the OS kernel and userspace for three legacy network applications, i.e. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), multimedia transcoding and SPECweb2005. In the OS kernel, we propose an interrupt affinity based scheduler to prevent starvation by separating interrupt handlers from userspace application. In the userspace, we first parallelize the network application and then propose an affinity based scheduler that affinitizes all the packets in the same connection to the same core. However, this scheduler is oblivious of load balancing, which can offset the cache benefits. We therefore propose several hash based schedulers to strike a balance between connection locality and load balancing. While the baseline Highest Random Weight (HRW) hash balances workload at the connection level, our Adjusted HRW (AHRW) achieves packet level load balancing by comparison of runqueue length of each core. In addition, we enable cache awareness of AHRW by means of a communication matrix in Cache-Aware AHRW (CA-HRW), and propose a hierarchical version, H-CAHRW, for different core/cache topologies. To incorporate QoS concerns, we also develop a Proportional Share HRW scheduler, PS-HRW, by allocating cores to each connection based on connection buffer size. We implement and verify all of our schedulers using real application measurements. With the resurgent interest in system virtualization, we present a performance characterization of a virtualized multicore server under consolidated network workloads and show that L2 cache misses are the major bottleneck. We therefore optimize the virtual CPU migration policy to take advantage of the cache topology. Then, we port all our schedulers developed in the native system to a virtualized multicore server, and observe minimum performance degradation.

Processing of spectral information in the dragonfly lamina

In this thesis, intracellular recordings were made from the photoreceptors and large monopolar cells (LMCs) of the dragonfly, Hemicordulia tau, to study the spectral information processing in the early vision of the insect compound eye. Photoreceptors recorded from the ventral region of the compound eye could be divided into five groups (360 nm, 420 nm, 460 nm, 530 nm and 590 nm) according to their peak spectral sensitivities. Compared to the previous study by S. Laughlin in 1974, where only three spectral classes of photoreceptors were reported, the 420 nm and 600 nm classes of photoreceptors are a new discovery. The spectral sensitivities of five types of LMC (cell type 1-5) were also recorded. Cell type 1 exhibits a broad spectral sensitivity function with maximal sensitivity between 480 nm and 510 nm. The spectral sensitivity of cell type 2 has two peaks, one in the region between 500 nm and 550 nm and another in the UV region. The spectral sensitivities of cell types 3 and 4 are similar to the 420 nm and 530 nm photoreceptors, respectively. The main sensitivity peak of cell type 4 is in the 500-550 nm region. The spectral sensitivity of cell type 5 is also similar to 530 nm photoreceptor, but the main sensitivity peak is at 500 nm. When dark-adapted, the monopolar cells had peak spectral sensitivities that were similar to single photoreceptors, or appeared to pool the outputs of receptors with different spectral sensitivities. In some cases, spectral sensitivity changed markedly upon light adaptation. For example, when cell type 2 was light-adapted by 550 nm, its sensitivity to UV light was suppressed. On the other hand, when cell type 5 was light-adapted by 550 nm, the absolute sensitivity to 520 nm was increased, though the spectral sensitivity remained the same as in the dark-adapted state. These effects cannot be explained by selective spectral adaptation. Rather, they suggest that this cell type receives synaptic input from more than one spectral class of photoreceptor, and that adaptation alters the computation of this input in unexpected ways. A control experiment on fly LMCs, which are known~eceive input from a single spectral class of photoreceptors, showed no spectral sensitivity change in the lightadapted state, as expected. These results suggest that the changes of spectral sensitivity in the light-adapted lamina monopolar cells of the dragonfly are mediated by the interaction of different spectral types of photoreceptors.
