Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
Trustworthy Eternal Systems via Evolving Software, Data and Knowledge
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Trustworthy Eternal Systems via Evolving Software, Data and Knowledge, EternalS, held in Montpellier, France, in August 2012 and co-located with the 20th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2012). The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers are organized into three main sections: natural language processing (NLP) for software systems, machine learning for software systems, roadmap for future research.
Cognitive Plausibility in Natural Language Processing
This book explores the cognitive plausibility of computational language models and why it’s an important factor in their development and evaluation. The authors present the idea that more can be learned about cognitive plausibility of computational language models by linking signals of cognitive processing load in humans to interpretability methods that allow for exploration of the hidden mechanisms of neural models. The book identifies limitations when applying the existing methodology for representational analyses to contextualized settings and critiques the current emphasis on form over more grounded approaches to modeling language. The authors discuss how novel techniques for transfer and curriculum learning could lead to cognitively more plausible generalization capabilities in models. The book also highlights the importance of instance-level evaluation and includes thorough discussion of the ethical considerations that may arise throughout the various stages of cognitive plausibility research.
Elgar Encyclopedia of Ecological Economics
With diverse contributions from over 100 authors around the globe, this comprehensive Encyclopedia summarises the developments of ecological economics from the fundamental contributions to the more recent methodological debates in the field. It provides an expansive list of topics including sustainable development, the limits to growth, agroecology, implications of thermodynamic laws for economics, integrated ecologic-economic modelling, valuation of natural resources and services, and renewable and non-renewable resources management. This title contains one or more Open Access chapters.
Current Trends in Web Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2017, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2017. The 24 revised full papers were selected from 34 submissions. The workshops complement the main conference, and explore new trends on core topics of Web engineering. The workshop committee accepted five workshops of which the following four contributed papers to this volume: - 2nd International Workshop on Liquid Multi-Device Software and 1st International Workshop on Engineering the Web of Things - International Workshop on The Practice Of The Open Web (practi-O-web 2017) - 3rd International Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Informal Text (NLPIT 2017) - 3rd International Workshop on Mining the Social Web (SoWeMine 2017).
Cross-Lingual Word Embeddings
The majority of natural language processing (NLP) is English language processing, and while there is good language technology support for (standard varieties of) English, support for Albanian, Burmese, or Cebuano--and most other languages--remains limited. Being able to bridge this digital divide is important for scientific and democratic reasons but also represents an enormous growth potential. A key challenge for this to happen is learning to align basic meaning-bearing units of different languages. In this book, the authors survey and discuss recent and historical work on supervised and unsupervised learning of such alignments. Specifically, the book focuses on so-called cross-lingual wor...
The Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics
Ruslan Mitkov's highly successful Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics has been substantially revised and expanded in this second edition. Alongside updated accounts of the topics covered in the first edition, it includes 17 new chapters on subjects such as semantic role-labelling, text-to-speech synthesis, translation technology, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and the application of Natural Language Processing in educational and biomedical contexts, among many others. The volume is divided into four parts that examine, respectively: the linguistic fundamentals of computational linguistics; the methods and resources used, such as statistical modelling, machine learning, and corpus annotation; key language processing tasks including text segmentation, anaphora resolution, and speech recognition; and the major applications of Natural Language Processing, from machine translation to author profiling. The book will be an essential reference for researchers and students in computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing, as well as those working in related industries.
Quality of Information and Communications Technology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology, QUATIC 2022, held in Talavera de la Reina, Spain, in September 2022. The 18 full papers and 3 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections: smart and advanced systems; verification and validation; skills and education; industrial experiences and applications; safety, security and privacy.
Mass Theatre in Interwar Europe
Ideological heterogeneity in mass plays in Flanders and the Netherlands In many European countries mass theatre was a widespread expression of ‘community art’ which became increasingly popular shortly before the First World War. From Max Reinhardt’s lavish open-air spectacles to socialist workers’ Laienspiel (lay theatre), theatre visionaries focused on ever larger groups for entertainment as well as political agitation. Despite wide research on the Soviet and German cases, examples from the Low Countries have hardly been examined. However, mass plays in Flanders and the Netherlands had a distinctive character, displaying an ideological heterogeneity not seen elsewhere. Mass Theatre in Interwar Europe studies this peculiar phenomenon of the Low Countries in its European context and sheds light on the broader framework of mass movements in the interwar period.
Semantic Relations Between Nominals, Second Edition
Opportunity and Curiosity find similar rocks on Mars. One can generally understand this statement if one knows that Opportunity and Curiosity are instances of the class of Mars rovers, and recognizes that, as signalled by the word on, rocks are located on Mars. Two mental operations contribute to understanding: recognize how entities/concepts mentioned in a text interact and recall already known facts (which often themselves consist of relations between entities/concepts). Concept interactions one identifies in the text can be added to the repository of known facts, and aid the processing of future texts. The amassed knowledge can assist many advanced language-processing tasks, including sum...
