Evaluation of Natural Language and Speech Tools for Italian International Workshop, EVALITA 2011, Rome, January 24-25, 2012, R


Free Download Evaluation of Natural Language and Speech Tools for Italian: International Workshop, EVALITA 2011, Rome, January 24-25, 2012, Revised Selected Papers By Cristina Bosco, Alessandro Mazzei (auth.), Bernardo Magnini, Francesco Cutugno, Mauro Falcone, Emanuele Pianta (eds.)
2013 | 339 Pages | ISBN: 3642358276 | PDF | 4 MB
EVALITA (http://www.evalita.it/) is the reference evaluation campaign of both Natural Language Processing and Speech Technologies for the Italian language. The objective of the shared tasks proposed at EVALITA is to promote the development of language technologies for Italian, providing a common framework where different systems and approaches can be evaluated and compared in a consistent manner. This volume collects the final and extended contributions presented at EVALITA 2011, the third edition of the evaluation campaign. The 36 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 87 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections roughly corresponding to evaluation tasks: parsing – dependency parsing track, parsing – constituency parsing track, domain adaptation for dependency parsing, named entity recognition on transcribed broadcast news, cross-document coreference resolution of named person entities, anaphora resolution, supersense tagging, frame labeling over italian texts, lemmatisation, automatic speech recognition – large vocabulary transcription, forced alignment on spontaneous speech.

Naturalizing God A Critical Evaluation of Religious Naturalism


Free Download Naturalizing God?: A Critical Evaluation of Religious Naturalism by Mikael Leidenhag
English | January 2, 2022 | ISBN: 1438484402 | 286 pages | PDF | 2.45 Mb
Can nature be considered a religious object? Religious naturalists answer yes, as they seek to carve out a middle path between supernaturalism and atheistic secularism. In this book, Mikael Leidenhag critically examines the religious proposals, philosophical commitments, and ecological ambitions of key religious naturalists, including Willem B. Drees, Charley D. Hardwick, Donald Crosby, Ursula Goodenough, Stuart Kauffman, Gordon Kaufman, Karl Peters, and Loyal Rue. Leidenhag argues that contemporary religious naturalism faces several problems, both with regard to its understanding of naturalism and the ways in which it seeks to uphold a religious conception of reality. He evaluates possible routes for moving forward, considering naturalistic and theistic proposals. He also analyzes the philosophical thesis of panpsychism, the idea that mind is a pervasive feature of the universe and reaches down to the fundamental levels of reality. The author concludes that panpsychism offers the most promising framework against which to understand the metaphysics and eco-ethical ambitions of religious naturalism.

English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367559862, 0367434326 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 0.8 mb
The Realpolitik of Evaluation shines a light on the divergent demands for evaluation. But what explains the "gap" between what those on the "demand" side expect in terms of evaluation results, and the "supply" of information provided by evaluators? Can anything be done to narrow this gap? What works and what does not work?

Advances in Interlaboratory Testing and Evaluation of Bituminous Materials State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Comm


Free Download Advances in Interlaboratory Testing and Evaluation of Bituminous Materials: State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 206-ATB By Manfred N. Partl, Emmanuel Chailleux (auth.), Manfred N. Partl, Hussain U. Bahia, Francesco Canestrari, Chantal de la Roche, Hervé Di Benedetto, Herald Piber, Dariusz Sybilski (eds.)
2013 | 453 Pages | ISBN: 9400751036 | PDF | 13 MB
This STAR on asphalt materials presents the achievements of RILEM TC 206 ATB, acquired over many years of interlaboratory tests and international knowledge exchange. It covers experimental aspects of bituminous binder fatigue testing; the background on compaction methods and imaging techniques for characterizing asphalt mixtures including validation of a new imaging software; it focuses on experimental questions and analysis tools regarding mechanical wheel tracking tests, comparing results from different labs and using finite element techniques. Furthermore, long-term rutting prediction and evaluation for an Austrian road are discussed, followed by an extensive analysis and test program on interlayer bond testing of three different test sections which were specifically constructed for this purpose. Finally, the key issue of manufacturing reclaimed hot mix asphalt in the laboratory is studied and recommendations for laboratory ageing of bituminous mixtures are given.
