High Performance Computing Systems and Applications
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 23rd International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and Applications, HPCS 2009, held in Kingston, Canada, in June 2009. The 29 revised full papers presented - fully revised to incorporate reviewers' comments and discussions at the symposium - were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on turbulence, materials and life sciences, bringing HPC to industry, computing science, mathematics, and statistics, as well as HPC systems and methods.
High Performance Computing Systems and Applications
High Performance Computing Systems and Applications contains the fully refereed papers from the 13th Annual Symposium on High Performance Computing, held in Kingston, Canada, in June 1999. This book presents the latest research in HPC architectures, distributed and shared memory performance, algorithms and solvers, with special sessions on atmospheric science, computational chemistry and physics. High Performance Computing Systems and Applications is suitable as a secondary text for graduate level courses, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
Distributional Semantics
This book provides a comprehensive foundation of distributional methods in computational modeling of meaning. It aims to build a common understanding of the theoretical and methodological foundations for students of computational linguistics, natural language processing, computer science, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
A Comprehensive Approach to Chinese Grammatical Error Correction in Second Language Learning
This book introduces an automatic grammatical error correction model on sentence-level based on deep learning. For the first time in error correction tasks, native Chinese corpus (literary works) and sentence classification information (acceptable or unacceptable) were incorporated into the Transformer model for training. Previous research often overlooked the significant impact of native language information on error correction. Experiments demonstrated a substantial improvement in model accuracy, increasing from 9.7% to 48% with the inclusion of native corpus and classification information.
Relating Theory and Data
This festschrift represents the proceedings of a conference held in honor of Bennet B. Murdock, one of the foremost researchers and theoreticians on human memory and cognition. A highly renowned investigator respected for both his empirical and theoretical contributions to the field, Murdock summarized and focused a large amount of research activity with his 1974 book Human Memory: Theory and Data. This unique collection of articles addresses many of the issues discussed in his classic text. Divided into five principal sections, its coverage includes: theoretical perspectives on human memory ranging from a biological view to an exposition of the value of formal models; recent progress in the study of processes in immediate memory and recognition memory; and new developments in componential and distributed approaches to the modeling of human memory. Each section concludes with an integrative commentary provided by some of Murdock’s eminent colleagues from the University of Toronto. Thus, this book offers a diversity of perspectives on contemporary topics in the discipline, and will be of interest to students and scholars in all branches of cognitive science.
Production, perception, and comprehension of subphonemic detail: Word-Final /s/ in English
The complexities of speech production, perception, and comprehension are enormous. Theoretical approaches of these complexities most recently face the challenge of accounting for findings on subphonemic differences. The aim of the present dissertation is to establish a robust foundation of findings on such subphonemic differences. One rather popular case for differences in subphonemic detail is word-final /s/ and /z/ in English (henceforth S) as it constitutes a number of morphological functions. Using word-final S, three general issues are investigated. First, are there subphonemic durational differences between different types of word-final S? If there are such differences, how can they be...
Big Data in Cognitive Science
The primary goal of this volume is to present cutting-edge examples of mining large and naturalistic datasets to discover important principles of cognition and to evaluate theories in a way that would not be possible without such scale. It explores techniques that have been underexploited by cognitive psychologists and explains how big data from numerous sources can inform researchers with different research interests and shed further light on how brain, cognition and behavior are interconnected. The book fills a major gap in the literature and has the potential to rapidly advance knowledge throughout the field. It is essential reading for any cognitive psychology researcher.
The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Cognition
This comprehensive volume illustrates why an understanding of animal intelligence is essential in disclosing the nature of minds other than our own making it a fascinating volume for anyone curious about the state of modern comparative cognition.
Is Birdsong Music?
“A ground-breaking study of the songs of the pied butcherbird . . . intellectually engaging and also very entertaining as a fieldwork memoir.” —The Music Trust How and when does music become possible? Is it a matter of biology, or culture, or an interaction between the two? Revolutionizing the way we think about the core values of music and human exceptionalism, Hollis Taylor takes us on an outback road trip to meet the Australian pied butcherbird. Recognized for their distinct timbre, calls, and songs, both sexes of this songbird sing in duos, trios, and even larger choirs, transforming their flute-like songs annually. While birdsong has long inspired artists, writers, musicians, and ...
