Improving Relation Extraction by Pre-trained Language Representations

description: Current state-of-the-art relation extraction methods typically rely on a set of lexical, syntactic, and semantic features, explicitly computed in a pre-processing step. Training feature extraction models requires additional annotated language resources, which severely restricts the applicability and portability of relation extraction to novel languages. Similarly, pre-processing introduces an additional source of error. To address these limitations, we introduce TRE, a Transformer for Relation Extraction, extending the OpenAI Generative Pre-trained Transformer [Radford et al., 2018]. Unlike previous relation extraction models, TRE uses pre-trained deep language representations instead of explicit linguistic features to inform the relation classification and combines it with the self-attentive Transformer architecture to effectively model long-range dependencies between entity mentions. TRE allows us to learn implicit linguistic features solely from plain text corpora by unsupervised pre-training, before fine-tuning the learned language representations on the relation extraction task. TRE obtains a new state-of-the-art result on the TACRED and SemEval 2010 Task 8 datasets, achieving a test F1 of 67.4 and 87.1, respectively. Furthermore, we observe a significant increase in sample efficiency. With only 20% of the training examples, TRE matches the performance of our baselines and our model trained from scratch on 100% of the TACRED dataset. We open-source our trained models, experiments, and source code.

description: This paper seeks to analyse the evidence from policy experimentation in Nigerian agriculture, and to draw the lessons experience therefrom. This was based on participant observation techniques in collecting data and information on the agricultural transformation programme recently implemented, with particular reference to the delivery of price subsidy on fertilizer and seed to small-scale farmers nationwide, using mobile phone technology. Results indicated that the programme failed to improve upon the inherited poor structure, conduct and performance of the farm input market. While the quantity of fertilizer supplied increased by a paltry 27% during the period under study, the volume of subsidy paid increased by a whooping 785%. Thus, the use of mobile phone was not accompanied by any perceptible saving in in public fund deployed for subsidy provision on fertilizer and seed. Like the previous programmes, the use of mobile phone to deliver subsidy to farmers was not corruption free after all. Thus, in the light of the high opportunity costs involved, weighed against the political cost of its removal over the years, it appears that there is no end to corruption in the agricultural sector unless and until the fertilizer subsidy is removed entirely and alternative modes of supporting small-scale farmers is found in Nigeria.

description: We generalize our puzzle formula for ordinary Schubert calculus on Grassmannians, to a formula for the T-equivariant Schubert calculus. The structure constants to be calculated are polynomials in {y_{i+1} - y_i}; they were shown (abstractly) to have positive coefficients in [Graham] math.AG/9908172. Our formula is the first to be manifestly positive in this sense. In particular this gives a new and self-contained proof of the ordinary puzzle formula, by an induction backwards from the "most equivariant" case. The proof of the formula is mostly combinatorial, but requires no prior combinatorics, and only a modicum of equivariant cohomology (which we include). This formula is closely related to the one in [Molev-Sagan] q-alg/9707028 for multiplying factorial Schur functions in three sets of variables, although their rule does not give a positive formula in the sense of [Graham]. We include a cohomological interpretation of this problem, and a puzzle formulation for it.

description: Broadband ferromagnetic resonance is a useful technique to determine the magnetic anisotropy and study the magnetization dynamics of magnetic thin films. We report a spring-loaded sample loading manipulator for reliable sample mounting and rotation. The manipulator enables maximum signal, enhances system stability and is particularly useful for fully automated in-plane-field angle-resolved measurements. This angle-resolved broadband ferromagnetic resonance apparatus provides a viable method to study anisotropic damping and weak magnetic anisotropies, both vital for fundamental research and applications.

description: Food price volatility, particularly in key food staple markets, has been a long standing challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa, where prices are already some of the highest in the world. In many cases, governments have acted to curb volatility, though several researchers have shown that actions aimed at reducing volatility in the short run have often been counterproductive for long term aims of market led productivity growth that would be able to reduce high prices in the region. With increased intra-regional trade having been proposed as a solution to volatile prices in the region, this study finds that across a sample of 36 maize markets in Eastern and Southern Africa between 2008 and 2014, volatility is significantly lower in markets with higher trade volumes. Thus it postulates that policies aimed at increasing the efficiency and reducing the cost of intra-regional trade will be efficient in curbing volatility in the region, thus improving food security.

description: The maximum overproduction of helium-4 in cosmological nucleosynthesis with active--sterile neutrino oscillations, nu_e -> nu_s, efficient after decoupling of electron neutrino, is analyzed. The kinetic effects on primordial nucleosynthesis due to neutrino spectrum distortion, caused by oscillations, are precisely taken into account. The maximum overproduction of primordial He-4 as a function of oscillation parameters is obtained from the analysis of the kinetics of the nucleons and the oscillating neutrinos, for the full range of parameters of the discussed oscillation model. A maximum relative increase of He-4, up to 14% for non-resonant oscillations and up to 32% for resonant ones is registered. Cosmological constraints on oscillation parameters are also discussed.

description: This work reports on the morphological and electrical properties of Ni-based back-side Ohmic contacts formed by laser annealing process for SiC power diodes. Nickel films, 100 nm thick, have been sputtered on the back-side of heavily doped 110 um 4H-SiC thinned substrates after mechanical grinding. Then, to achieve Ohmic behavior, the metal films have been irradiated with an UV excimer laser with a wavelength of 310 nm, an energy density of 4.7 J/cm2 and pulse duration of 160 ns. The morphological and structural properties of the samples were analyzed by means of different techniques. Nanoscale electrical analyses by conductive Atomic Force Microscopy (C-AFM) allowed correlating the morphology of the annealed metal films with their local electrical properties. Ohmic behavior of the contacts fabricated by laser annealing have been investigated and compared with the standard Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) process. Finally, it was integrated in the fabrication of 650V SiC Schottky diodes.

description: In light of the importance of maize as a staple crop in Southern Africa, as well as its prioritisation from a policy perspective, this study evaluates the extent of price transmission between selected maize markets in the region. It employs secondary data of weekly white maize prices in seven markets in the region to quantify the long and short run price relationships between relevant markets based on geographic proximity and expected trade patterns. While several authors have noted the isolation of white maize markets in Southern Africa from the global market, this study finds evidence of co-integration between multiple maize markets within the Southern African region. By implication, policy decisions affecting prices in any single country will influence price levels in multiple surrounding markets, impacting on both producer and consumer welfare not only in the country of application but also in the region as a whole.

description: Face aux faibles rendements des systèmes agroforestiers cacaoyers traditionnels au Cameroun, les pouvoirs publics avec l’appui de l’IRAD et le CIRAD proposent depuis quelques années des politiques d’innovations en faveur des cacaoculteurs. Celles-ci qui visent l’amélioration significative des rendements et des conditions de vie des populations, portent aussi sur la diversification des productions , l’introduction d’une plante de couverture pour restaurer la fertilité des sols. Toutefois, si l’innovation agricole constitue l’un des leviers susceptible de réduire la fragilité des populations, seule l’efficacité dans son emploi permet de bénéficier pleinement de son potentiel agronomique. Dans un tel contexte, il nous a semblé pertinent d’évaluer la performance de ces cacaoyers innovants. Les résultats obtenus à partir des données 2006-2010 montrent que le taux de rentabilité des exploitations est faible. De plus, il ressort que les exploitations sont relativement inefficaces et les facteurs endogènes aux producteurs sont les déterminants majeurs de leur efficacité. En conséquence, il est souhaitable que la mise en place de ces politiques d’innovation se poursuive et se vulgarise. Mais, l’accent doit être mis sur le désenclavement des localités, la gestion rationnelle de la taille des exploitations et l’amélioration du niveau d’instruction des producteurs à travers les formations organisées en milieu paysan.

description: We find that the radiative diffusivity associated with the radiative viscosity generates a mixing that diminishes the efficiency of the gravitational settling in the external layers of stellar models corresponding to types earlier than G. The surface abundances of chemical species predicted by the models are successfully compared with the abundances determined in members of the Hyades open cluster. Our modeling depends on an efficiency parameter, which is evaluated to a value close to unity, that we calibrate in this study.

description: This paper presents two multi-objective models that integrate packaging size and production scheduling problems for a flexible flow shop system. The main objective is to find the packaging size of finished product per item and the production schedule that would minimise cost of lost units, unpacking cost, inventory cost, earliness/tardiness penalties and kilograms of carbon dioxide emitted by resources operation. Since the complexity of the proposed models, a Pareto-based hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) is also developed. A case study was developed to analyse the performance of both models using different instances. Numerical results indicate that the outperformance of one model over the other depends on the demand and the packaging size.

description: We discuss measurements of the properties of about 10,000 asteroids detected in 500 deg2 of sky in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data. The moving objects are detected in the magnitude range 14 < r < 21.5, with a baseline of 5 minutes. Extensive tests show that the sample is at least 98% complete, with the contamination rate of less than 3%. We find that the size distribution of asteroids resembles a broken power-law, independent of the heliocentric distance: D^{-2.3} for 0.4 km < D < 5 km, and D^{-4} for 5 km < D < 40 km. As a consequence of this break, the number of asteroids with r < 21.5 is ten times smaller than predicted by extrapolating the power-law relation observed for brighter asteroids (r < 18). The observed counts imply that there are about 530,000 objects with D>1 km in the asteroid belt, or about four times less than previous estimates. The distribution of main belt asteroids in the 4-dimensional SDSS color space is bimodal, and the two groups can be associated with S (rocky) and C (carbonaceous) asteroids. A strong bimodality is also seen in the heliocentric distribution of asteroids and suggests the existence of two distinct belts: the inner rocky belt, about 1 AU wide (FWHM) and centered at R~2.8 AU, and the outer carbonaceous belt, about 0.5 AU wide and centered at R~3.2 AU. The colors of Hungarias, Mars crossers, and near-Earth objects are more similar to the C-type than to S-type asteroids, suggesting that they originate in the outer belt. (abridged).

description: Certified cocoa represents 3% of the national cocoa production in Cameroon whereas buyers are supposed to buy certified cocoa by the year 2025. How can the rapid adoption of certification be favoured? This paper evaluates the impact of certification on the agro-economic performances of cocoa farmers in the Center of Cameroon , firstly by evaluating the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) for the total sample and for each certified and non-certified group. Secondly we used the "propensity Score Matching", the "Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity" and the "endogenous Switching regression" to assure a robust result. In 2014, the opinions of some 301 certified and non-certified farmers were sampled. Results revealed that two variables have positive and significant effects on the adoption of certification by cocoa farmers: an additional average yield of 174 kg/ha superior to the non certified and a profit margin of f cfa 233 280 /ha. In spite of the positive effects of certification, the objective of 100% of certified cocoa by 2025 in order to meet up the demands of buyers is very ambitious. The government needs to come out with complementary measures and actions to favour the process of certification (accompanying producers and a means of concerted actions among stakeholders).

subject: vocal performance
subject: multiple genres

description: In order to meet the demands of the modern music industry, singers are expected to be able to perform across a wide range of singing styles. Historically, the links between higher education and industry have been weak or non-existent (Bennett, 2016); this is apparent in training programs for singers, which have tended to focus on genre-specific lessons, providing limited opportunities for the development of performance skills across a range of musical styles and settings. This pigeonhole approach has focused developing artists into single genres, such as opera, jazz, musical theatre and contemporary commercial music (CCM), with singers struggling to meet current industry demands for style versatility. Recent literature acknowledges the insufficiencies of applying the classical model of voice training in the teaching of contemporary styles. However, while CCM style-based pedagogies are emerging, training options for singers seeking to perform across a range of genres remain limited. While multi-genre singing does not feature in the current voice pedagogy literature, there is some evidence that genre-based teaching practices could be synthesised to support singers to perform across a range of contemporary and classical vocal styles. Studies highlighting the benefits of crosstraining for singers also lend support to the idea that multi-genre singing is unlikely to have a negative impact upon vocal health, particularly where voice-science-based pedagogies are employed. The aim of this research project was to explore the outcomes of genre-based singing voice lessons across three major music styles and to document any impact on the singer participant’s performance ability and vocal health. It is hoped that the findings will inform a more diversified approach for multi-genre singers and teachers in the field. [...]

description: Chromatin is a complex of DNA and specific proteins forming an intermediary level of organization of eukaryotic genomes, between double-stranded DNA and chromosome. Within a generic modeling of the chromatin assembly, we investigate the interplay between the mechanical properties of the chromatin fiber and its biological functions. A quantitative step is to relate the mechanics at the DNA level and the mechanics described at the chromatin fiber level. It allows to calculate the complete set of chromatin elastic constants (twist and bend persistence lengths, stretch modulus and twist-stretch coupling constant), in terms of DNA elastic properties and geometric features of the fiber. These elastic constants are strongly sensitive to the local architecture of the fiber and we argue that this tunable elasticity might be a key feature in chromatin functions, for instance in the initiation and regulation of transcription. Moreover, this analysis provides a framework to interpret micromanipulations studies of chromatin fiber and suggests further experiments involving intercalators to scan the tunable elasticity of the fiber.

description: We analyze the disorder driven localization of the two dimensional Bose-Hubbard model by evaluating the full low energy quasiparticle spectrum via a recently developed fluctuation operator expansion method. For any strength of the local interaction we find a mobility edge that displays an approximately exponential decay with increasing disorder strength. We determine the finite-size scaling collapse and exponents at this critical line finding that the localization of excitations is characterized by weak multi-fractality and a thermal-like critical gap ratio. A direct comparison to a recent experiment yields an excellent match of the predicted finite-size transition point and scaling of single particle correlations.

description: Cette étude apprécie l’influence des contrats de travail sur la performance des exploitations agricoles à base de cacao. Elle a été réalisée dans le Département du Mbam et Kim dans la région du centre Cameroun sur un échantillon de 114 exploitations. L’objectif a été de trouver des éléments de réponse aux interrogations relatives à l’influence des types de contrats de travail sur la performance des systèmes agro forestiers à base de cacao. Pour y parvenir, nous avons eu recours d’une part à la méthode DEA pour mesurer les performances des SAF cacao selon les types de contrats de travail appliqués, et d’autre part au modèle Tobit censuré, afin de déterminer les facteurs explicatifs des dites performances. A l’issue donc des travaux, les résultats révèlent que les exploitants pratiquant des contrats de rémunération par pourcentage de cacao vendu sont relativement plus efficaces que ceux ayant recours aux contrats à rémunération fixes avec des scores d’efficacité respectivement de 0,88, et 0,67. Par ailleurs, Parmi les facteurs contribuant à l’explication des performances des SAF cacao, il ressort que 22,3% des exploitants établissant des contrats fixes avec leurs ouvriers sont source d’inefficacité dans la localité. Tandis que les facteurs âges et superficie expliquent la performance des SAF cacao respectivement à 97% et 95%. Ces différents résultats ont permis de faire des propositions qui font l’objet de recommandations de politique agricole relative à l’amélioration du cadre managérial des exploitations agricoles au Cameroun.

description: Passiena Thorell, 1890
 Type species. Passiena spinicrus Thorell, 1890, from Malaysia.
 Comments. The genus is currently known from four species. Two of them, including the type species P. spinicrus Thorell, 1890, occur in Southeast Asia, and two others (seemingly misplaced in the genus) are restricted to Africa (WSC, 2020). The type species is known by the holotype female. It was redescribed and illustrated for the first time by Lehtinen (2005). In the same work, Lehtinen (2005) described a new species, P. torbjoerni Lehtinen, 2005, based on both male and female. The palp of the new species was illustrated but lacked essential details, such as the shape of the intact palp and the shape of the embolic division. Nevertheless, it was the first description of the palp of a Passiena male.
We tried to compare the new species with two other congeners occurring in Asia, but failed to found types listed as deposited in the Natural History Museum in Stockholm and Zoological Museum University of Turku (Lehtinen, 2005). Fortunately, the junior author has the original illustrations of these species made for Pekka Lehtinen’s publication.

description: We have obtained linear polarization measurements of the Large Magellanic Cloud B[e] supergiant S 111 using optical imaging polarimetry. The intrinsic polarization found is consistent with the presence of an axisymmetric circumstellar envelope. We have additionally estimated the electron density for S 111 using data from the literature and revisited the correlation between polarization and envelope parameters of the B[e] supergiant stars using more recent IR calibration color data. The data suggest that the polarization can be indeed explained by electron scattering. We have used Monte Carlo codes to model the continuum polarization of the Magellanic B[e] supergiants. The results indicate that the electron density distribution in their envelopes is closer to a homogeneous distribution rather than an r$^{-2}$ dependence. At the same time, the data are best fitted by a spherical distribution with density contrast than a cylindrical distribution. The data and the model results support the idea of the presence of an equatorial disk and of the two-component wind model for the envelopes of the B[e] supergiants. Spectropolarimetry would help further our knowledge of these envelopes.

description: Certain species of living creatures are known to orientate themselves in the geomagnetic field. Given the small magnitude of approximately 48 μT, the underlying quantum mechanical phenomena are expected to exhibit coherence times approaching the millisecond regime. In this contribution, we show sensitivity of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to magnetic fields far below Earth's magnetic field, suggesting that coherence times of the spins of charge-carrier pairs in these devices can be similarly long. By electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, a lower bound for the coherence time can be assessed directly. Moreover, this technique offers the possibility to determine the distribution of hyperfine fields within the organic semiconductor layer. We extend this technique to a material system exhibiting both fluorescence and phosphorescence, demonstrating stable anticorrelation between optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectra in the singlet (fluorescence) and triplet (phosphorescence) channel. The experiments demonstrate the extreme sensitivity of OLEDs to both static as well as dynamic magnetic fields and suggest that coherent spin precession processes of Coulombically bound electron spin pairs may play a crucial role in the magnetoreceptive ability of living creatures.

description: The genus Moraxella of the Moraxellaceae family is composed of commensals and opportunistic pathogens residing within the mucosal surfaces of predominantly mammals. Certain species are the causative agents or affiliated with detrimental diseases such as otitis media (M. catarrhalis) in children and infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in cattle (M. bovis, M. bovoculi and M. ovis). However, research examining the microbial profiles of young children have also associated early colonisation by Moraxella with improving URT health. M. lincolnii, has been frequently recovered in healthy individuals and experimentally shown to harbour certain mechanisms that are advantageous to URT health. Conversely, reports of severe diseases caused by typically dormant commensal species such as M. nonliquefaciens, M. atlantae, M. lacunata and M. osloensis also exist. Hence to understand the microbial interactions of Moraxella, the structures of their outer membrane (OM) glycans that interact with the host immune system such as the lipopolysaccharides/lipooligosaccharides (LPS/LOS) and/or capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and their related genetics, were investigated in this thesis.
