description: Automated text analysis as named entity recognition (NER) heavily relies on large amounts of high-quality training data. For domain-specific NER transfer learning approaches aim to overcome the problem of lacking domain-specific training data. In this paper, we investigate transfer learning approaches in order to improve domain-specific NER in low-ressource domains. The first part of the paper is dedicated to information transfer from known to unknown entities using BiLSTM-CRF neural networks, considering also the influence of varying training data size. In the second part instead, pre-trained BERT models are fine-tuned to domain-specific German NER. The performance of models of both architectures is compared w.r.t. different hyperparameters and a set of 16 entities. The experiments are based on the revised German SmartData Corpus, and a baseline model, trained on this corpus.

description: Altered immune functioning has been demonstrated in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study explores the relationship between perceived immune functioning and experiencing ASD traits in healthy young adults. N = 410 students from Utrecht University completed a survey on immune functioning and autistic traits. In addition to a 1-item perceived immune functioning rating, the Immune Function Questionnaire (IFQ) was completed to assess perceived immune functioning. The Dutch translation of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was completed to examine variation in autistic traits, including the domains “social insights and behavior”, “difficulties with change”, “communication”, “phantasy and imagination”, and “detail orientation”. The 1-item perceived immune functioning score did not significantly correlate with the total AQ score. However, a significant negative correlation was found between perceived immune functioning and the AQ subscale “difficulties with change” (r = −0.119, p = 0.019). In women, 1-item perceived immune functioning correlated significantly with the AQ subscales “difficulties with change” (r = −0.149, p = 0.029) and “communication” (r = −0.145, p = 0.032). In men, none of the AQ subscales significantly correlated with 1-item perceived immune functioning. In conclusion, a modest relationship between perceived immune functioning and several autistic traits was found.

description: We present a model of the early stages of processing in the visual cortex, in particular V1 and MT, to investigate the potential role of end-stopped V1 neurons in solving the aperture problem. A hierarchical network is used in which the incoming motion signals provided by complex V1 neurons and end-stopped V1 neurons proceed to MT neurons at the next stage. MT neurons are categorized into two types based on their function: integration and segmentation. The role of integration neurons is to propagate unambiguous motion signals arriving from those V1 neurons that emphasize object terminators (e.g. corners). Segmentation neurons detect the discontinuities in the input stimulus to control the activity of integration neurons. Although the activity of the complex V1 neurons at the terminators of the object accurately represents the direction of the motion, their level of activity is less than the activity of the neurons along the edges. Therefore, a model incorporating end-stopped neurons is essential to suppress ambiguous motion signals along the edges of the stimulus. It is shown that the unambiguous motion signals at terminators propagate over the rest of the object to achieve an accurate representation of motion.

description: There are 15–20 different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in the mammalian retina, each encoding different aspects of the visual scene. The mechanism by which post-synaptic signals from the retinal network generate spikes is determined by each cell’s intrinsic electrical properties. Here we investigate the frequency responses of morphologically identified rat RGCs using intracellular injection of sinusoidal current waveforms, to assess their intrinsic capabilities with minimal contributions from the retinal network. Recorded cells were classified according to their morphological characteristics (A, B, C or D-type) and their stratification (inner (i), outer (o) or bistratified) in the inner plexiform layer (IPL). Most cell types had low- or band-pass frequency responses. A2, C1 and C4o cells were band-pass with peaks of 15–30 Hz and low-pass cutoffs above 56 Hz (A2 cells) and ~42 Hz (C1 and C4o cells). A1 and C2i/o cells were low-pass with peaks of 10–15 Hz (cutoffs 19–25 Hz). Bistratified D1 and D2 cells were also low-pass with peaks of 5–10 Hz (cutoffs ~16 Hz). The least responsive cells were the B2 and C3 types (peaks: 2–5 Hz, cutoffs: 8–11 Hz). We found no difference between cells stratifying in the inner and outer IPL (i.e., ON and OFF cells) or between cells with large and small somas or dendritic fields. Intrinsic physiological properties (input resistance, spike width and sag) had little impact on frequency response at low frequencies, but account for 30–40% of response variability at frequencies >30 Hz.

description: Faced with the ever-increasing complexity, volume and dynamism of online information, recommendation systems are among the solutions that anticipate the needs of users and offer them items (articles, products, web pages, etc.) that they are likely to appreciate. Unlike traditional recommendation models, deep learning offers a better understanding of user requests, characteristics of objects, historical interactions between them and it can process massive amounts of data. In this work we realize a recommendation system based on MLP deep learning adapted to data already defined by their characteristics. In addition to the use of deep learning, we offer a new hybrid recommendation system solution between the demographic approach and the content-based approach in order to eliminate the limits of each and to combine their strengths, through a deep neural network that harnesses the mass of data. "Experimentation with our approach has produced good results in terms of accuracy and speed, whether through the use of deep learning or the hybridization of content-based and demographic filtering, which is a particular case of collaborative filtering.

description: Implantable electrode arrays are widely used in therapeutic stimulation of the nervous system (e.g. cochlear, retinal, and cortical implants). Currently, most neural prostheses use serial stimulation (i.e. one electrode at a time) despite this severely limiting the repertoire of stimuli that can be applied. Methods to reliably predict the outcome of multi-electrode stimulation have not been available. Here, we demonstrate that a linear-nonlinear model accurately predicts neural responses to arbitrary patterns of stimulation using in vitro recordings from single retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) stimulated with a subretinal multi-electrode array. In the model, the stimulus is projected onto a low-dimensional subspace and then undergoes a nonlinear transformation to produce an estimate of spiking probability. The low-dimensional subspace is estimated using principal components analysis, which gives the neuron’s electrical receptive field (ERF), i.e. the electrodes to which the neuron is most sensitive. Our model suggests that stimulation proportional to the ERF yields a higher efficacy given a fixed amount of power when compared to equal amplitude stimulation on up to three electrodes. We find that the model captures the responses of all the cells recorded in the study, suggesting that it will generalize to most cell types in the retina. The model is computationally efficient to evaluate and, therefore, appropriate for future real-time applications including stimulation strategies that make use of recorded neural activity to improve the stimulation strategy.

description: Iron misregulation is a central component in the neuropathology of Parkinson's disease. The iron transport protein DMT1 is known to be increased in Parkinson's brains linking functional transport mechanisms with iron accumulation. The regulation of DMT1 is therefore critical to the management of iron uptake in the disease setting. We previously identified post-translational control of DMT1 levels through a ubiquitin-mediated pathway led by Ndfip1, an adaptor for Nedd4 family of E3 ligases. Here we show that loss of Ndfip1 from mouse dopaminergic neurons resulted in misregulation of DMT1 levels and increased susceptibility to iron induced death. We report that in human Parkinson's brains increased iron concentrations in the substantia nigra are associated with upregulated levels of Ndfip1 in dopaminergic neurons containing α-synuclein deposits. Additionally, Ndfip1 was also found to be misexpressed in astrocytes, a cell type normally devoid of this protein. We suggest that in Parkinson's disease, increased iron levels are associated with increased Ndfip1 expression for the regulation of DMT1, including abnormal Ndfip1 activation in non-neuronal cell types such as astrocytes.

description: Ernst Cassirer lehrt von 1935 bis 1941 nicht nur an der Universität in Göteborg, sondern verfasst in diesen Jahren auch zahlreiche Texte. Von ihnen ist bisher jedoch nur ein geringer Teil publiziert worden, obwohl sie eine vollkommen neue Dimension im Denken Cassirers offenbaren. So beschäftigt er sich intensiv mit den Ideen der Uppsala-Schule um Axel Hägerström und des Wiener Kreises, die eine traditionelle meta-physische Philosophie ablehnen, und entwickelt so seine eigene Phänomenologie. Er versucht, eine neue, weniger rigide Form des Denkens zu finden, die den Pathos der philosophischen Romantik und die Begrenztheit des Positivismus vermeidet. Cassirers Texte aus seiner Zeit in Schweden setzen sich mit allen Themen auseinander, mit denen er sich jemals beschäftigt hat, so dass diese in Bezug auf sein philosophisches Schaffen zu seinen wichtigsten überhaupt gezählt werden können.

description: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to revolutionize medicine due to their ability to differentiate into specific lineages for targeted tissue repair. Development of materials and cell culture platforms that improve differentiation of either autologous or allogenic stem cell sources into specific lineages would enhance clinical utilization of MCSs. In this study, nanoscale amyloid fibrils were evaluated as substrate materials to encourage viability, proliferation, multipotency, and differentiation of MSCs. Fibrils assembled from the proteins lysozyme or β-lactoglobulin, with and without chitosan coatings, were deposited on planar mica surfaces. MSCs were cultured and differentiated on fibril-covered surfaces, as well as on unstructured controls and tissue culture plastic. Expression of CD44 and CD90 proteins indicated that multipotency was maintained for all fibrils, and osteogenic differentiation was similarly comparable among all tested materials. MSCs grown for 7 days on fibril-covered surfaces favored multicellular spheroid formation and demonstrated a > 75% increase in adipogenesis compared to tissue culture plastic controls, although this benefit could only be achieved if MSCs were transferred to TCP for the final differentiation step. The largest spheroids and greatest tendency to undergo adipogenesis was evidenced among MSCs grown on fibrils coated with the positively-charged polysaccharide chitosan, suggesting that spheroid formation is prompted by both topography and cell-surface interactivity and that there is a connection between multicellular spheroid formation and adipogenesis.

description: The Deep Reinforcement Learning Process (DRL) has made considerable progress since its inception towards the production of various independent systems. Nowadays, deep learning gives Reinforcement Learning (RL) the ability to conform to several dysfunctions that were previously difficult, if not impossible to resolve. In this paper, we explore the power of Deep Reinforcement Learning in order to solve the problem of portfolio management which is a process that allows the selection, prioritization and management of funds by following a defined policy. Our objective is to obtain an optimal strategy to maximize the expected return while minimizing the costs. To do this, we use the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient which is an off-policy algorithm adapted for environments with continuous action spaces. The obtained results demonstrate that the model achieves a higher rate of return than the strategy of “Uniform Buy and Hold” stocks and the strategy of “Buy Best Stock in last month”.

title: Commercial off-the-shelf game in English as a foreign language classroom: the impacts of English proficiency, pre-vocabulary instruction and learners’ perceptions on vocabulary learning and retention
Creators: name: Alzahrani, Maha Saleh A.
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: Learning new vocabulary is a challenging task for second language (L2) learners and retaining 
these new words in the long-term is even more difficult. One suggestion to enhance vocabulary 
learning and retention is using digital games. Recently, the use of digital games in L2 has grown 
in popularity and some empirical research has yielded positive results in terms of the number 
of learnt words and levels of retention following playing digital games (Franciosi et al., 2016; 
Miller & Hegelheimer, 2006; Ranalli, 2008). However, more empirical studies are needed to 
gain a comprehensive understanding and in-depth insight into digital games' potential and 
effectively integrate them into teaching and learning vocabulary in L2 classroom. This study 
aims to explore the effectiveness of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games, by comparison 
with an interactive e-learning platform (ActivePresenter) and the role of pre-teaching 
vocabulary of target words and learners' perceptions of and experiences with integrating COTS 
games in the L2 classroom. This study reports findings from an intervention study with a 2x2 
mixed factorial design among 101 adult Saudi EFL learners. Two different teaching 
interventions were compared: a COTS game was compared with ActivePresenter, and half of 
each group was taught target words with Quizlet prior to the intervention. A control group only 
received vocabulary teaching through Quizlet without gaming or multimedia resources for 30 
minutes. Semantic priming (pre-, post- and delayed) and form recognition tasks (post and 
delayed) were conducted to measure vocabulary learning and retention. The results indicated 
that both teaching methods, the COTS game and ActivePresenter, were effective in improving 
vocabulary learning when combined with pre-vocabulary instruction. Additionally, a 
correlation was observed between language proficiency level and vocabulary outcomes, 
revealing that learners with lower levels of English proficiency acquired fewer words compared to those with higher levels. The participants were actively engaged and demonstrated a positive 
attitude towards the integration of the COTS game and ActivePresenter activities in the L2 
classroom.

description: We experimentally observed a terahertz (THz) radiation of electrically driven 2D electron gas (2DEG) plasmons in AlGaN/AlN/GaN structures at T = 110 K. The grating with a period of 1.0 μm and a filling factor of 0.35 was used to couple electromagnetic radiation out from the plasmonic sample excited in a pulsed regime. The peak power radiated from ungated 2DEG plasmons at a frequency of 5.0 THz under an electric field of 450 V/cm was up to 940 nW. The intensity of the radiation was sufficient to measure spectra with a conventional far-infrared Fourier transform spectrometer. The analysis of the data revealed that the 2DEG plasmon radiation was superimposed with the black-body radiation of the sample and electroluminescence of the impurities. The strategy to reach higher powers of THz emission for practical applications is discussed.
Autistic children show a surprising relationship between global visual perception, non-verbal intelligence and visual parvocellular function, not seen in typically developing children

description: Despite much current research into the visual processing style of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), understanding of the neural mechanisms is lagging, especially with respect to the contributions of the overlapping dichotomies of magnocellular/parvocellular (afferent neural pathways), global/local (perception) and dorsal/ventral (cortical streams). Here, we addressed this deficiency by measuring inspection times (ITs) for novel global/local stimuli as well as recording nonlinear visually evoked potentials (VEPs), in particular, magnocellular and parvocellular temporal efficiencies. The study was conducted on a group of male ASD children and a typically developing (TD) group matched for mean age and mean non-verbal intelligence, as measured by the Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The IT results did not differ between groups, however a negative correlation between global IT and Raven’s score was found in the ASD group, that was not evident in the TD group. Nonlinear VEP showed the ASD group had smaller amplitude parvocellular-generated second order responses compared to the TD group. This is a sign of improved temporal responsiveness in ASD vs. TD groups. Principal Component Analysis linked global IT, non-verbal intelligence scores and VEP parvocellular efficiency in a single factor for the ASD but not the TD group. The results are suggestive of a constraint on pathways available for cognitive response in the ASD group, with temporal processing for those with ASD becoming more reliant on the parvocellular pathway.

description: Address parsing consists of identifying the segments that make up an address, such as a street name or a postal code. Because of its importance for tasks like record linkage, address parsing has been approached with many techniques, the latest relying on neural networks. While these models yield notable results, previous work on neural networks has only focused to parse addresses from a single source country. We propose in this paper an approach in which we employ subword embeddings and a Recurrent Neural Network architecture to build a single model capable of learning to parse addresses from multiple countries at the same time while taking into account the difference in languages and address formatting systems. The proposed method achieves an average accuracy (token-wise) of 99 % on the test set of the countries used as the source dataset with no pre-processing nor post-processing being required. We explore the possibility of transferring the address parsing knowledge acquired by training on some countries' addresses to others with no further training in a zero-shot transfer learning setting. We also experiment using an attention mechanism and a domain adversarial training algorithm in the same zero-shot transfer setting to improve performance. Both methods yield state-of-the-art performance for the majority of the tested countries while giving good results on the remaining countries. We also explore the effect of incomplete addresses on our best model, and we evaluate the impact of using incomplete addresses during training. In addition, we propose an open-source Python implementation of some of our trained models (https://github.com/GRAAL-Research/deepparse).

description: Strabismic amblyopia is now acknowledged to be more than a simple loss of acuity and to involve alterations in visually driven attention, though whether this applies to both stimulus-driven and goal-directed attention has not been explored. Hence we investigated monocular threshold performance during a motion salience-driven attention task involving detection of a coherent dot motion target in one of four quadrants in adult controls and those with strabismic amblyopia. Psychophysical motion thresholds were impaired for the strabismic amblyopic eye, requiring longer inspection time and consequently slower target speed for detection compared to the fellow eye or control eyes. We compared fMRI activation and functional connectivity between four ROIs of the occipital-parieto-frontal visual attention network [primary visual cortex (V1), motion sensitive area V5, intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and frontal eye fields (FEF)], during a suprathreshold version of the motion-driven attention task, and also a simple goal-directed task, requiring voluntary saccades to targets randomly appearing along a horizontal line. Activation was compared when viewed monocularly by controls and the amblyopic and its fellow eye in strabismics. BOLD activation was weaker in IPS, FEF and V5 for both tasks when viewing through the amblyopic eye compared to viewing through the fellow eye or control participants' non-dominant eye. No difference in V1 activation was seen between the amblyopic and fellow eye, nor between the two eyes of control participants during the motion salience task, though V1 activation was significantly less through the amblyopic eye than through the fellow eye and control group non-dominant eye viewing during the voluntary saccade task. Functional correlations of ROIs within the attention network were impaired through the amblyopic eye during the motion salience task, whereas this was not the case during the voluntary saccade task. Specifically, FEF showed reduced functional connectivity with visual cortical nodes during the motion salience task through the amblyopic eye, despite suprathreshold detection performance. This suggests that the reduced ability of the amblyopic eye to activate the frontal components of the attention networks may help explain the aberrant control of visual attention and eye movements in amblyopes.

description: Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: The origin of humanities computing is usually dated to 1949, when Father Roberto Busa began working with IBM computers to produce a concordance to the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Hockey). Of course, concordances and indexes long predate electronic computers and, as Geoffrey Rockwell suggests, are premised upon hermeneutical assumptions of coherence and generative rule-bound procedures (Rockwell 211). The index is thus another example of "digital" or "hands-on" technology that expands beyond the electronic. Rachel Sagner Buurma's assignment asks students to create an index to Tennyson's In Memoriam or to use an existing index to create a new edition of the poem, foregrounding how informational technologies like the index create, constrain, or complicate the interpretation of literary works.

description: Structures with high concentration of mass at or close to the top such as highway bridge piers are vulnerable in earthquakes or accidents. In this paper, a simple and convenient retrofit strategy is proposed for minimizing vibrations and damages, extending service life and preventing collapse of existing structures. The proposed system comprises of tension-only cables secured to the sides of the structure through gravity anchor blocks that are free to move in vertical shafts. The system is installed in such a way that the cables do not induce unnecessary stress on the main structure when there is no lateral motion or vibration. The effectiveness of controlling global structural responses is investigated for tension-only bilinear-elastic behaviour of cables. Results of a realistic case study for a reinforced concrete bridge pier show that response reduction is remarkably well under seismic excitation.

description: Drei Fälle, die zeigen, wohin es führt, wenn der städtebauliche Denkmalschutz – der der Ensembles und der der Bauwerke – von irregeleiteter politischer Übermacht außer Kraft gesetzt wird. Sie zeugen von der Schwierigkeit und der Bedeutung einer Arbeit, zu deren Durchsetzung es immer wieder nötig sein wird, Öffentlichkeit zu mobilisieren und sich der Unterstützung der Bürgerschaft zu versichern. Viel besser ist es natürlich, wenn alle Beteiligte – Fachleute, Eigentümer, kommunale und Landesinstanzen, die Öffentlichkeit – von vornherein an einem Strang ziehen. Eine solche Kooperation zu organisieren ist das Geheimnis vieler Erfolge; die Dokumentationen des Förderprogramms, das von seiten des Bundes in 25 Jahren mit über sechs Milliarden Euro unterstützt wurde, zeigen es an vielen Beispielen.
