基于小规模尾字特征的中文命名实体识别研究

本文针对难度最大的两类命名实体(地名和机构名)在条件随机场框架下首次引入了小规模的常用尾字特征．实验表明，该特征与词类特征具有一定的互补性，联合使用可以以较小的训练代价显著提高专有名词的识别性能，特别是机构名的识别精度．该系统在我国863简体命名实体识别评测语料上专名(人名、地名和机构名)总体F1值达踞．76％，超过当年最佳系统8．63个百分点．在SIGHAN 2006命名实体识别语料上的结果也居于前列．

基于单字提示特征的中文命名实体识别快速算法

近年来条件随机场(CRF)模型在自然语言处理中的应用越来越广泛。标准的线性链(Linear-chain)模型一般采用L—BFGS参数估计方法，收敛速度慢。本文在分析模型复杂度的基础上提出了一种改进的快速CRF算法。该算法通过引入小规模单字特征降低特征的规模，并通过在推理过程中引入任务相关的人工知识压缩Viterbi和Baum-Welch格搜索空间，提高了训练的速度。在中文863命名实体识别评测语料和SIGHAN06语料集上进行的实验表明，该算法在不影响中文命名实体识别精度的同时，有效地降低了模型的训练代价。

基于半马尔科夫条件随机场的命名体识别及其关系抽取研究

随着互联网和电子化办公的发展，出现了大量的文本资源。信息抽取技术可以帮助人们快速获取大规模文本中的有用信息。命名体识别与关系抽取是信息抽取的两个基本任务。本文在调研当前命名体识别和实体关系抽取中采用的主要方法的基础上，分别给出了解决方案。论文开展的主要工作有：（1）从模型选择和特征选择两个方面总结了命名体识别及实体关系抽取的国内外研究现状，重点介绍用于命名体识别的统计学习方法以及用于实体关系抽取的基于核的方法。（2）针对当前命名体识别中命名体片段边界的确定问题，研究了如何将 Semi-Markov CRFs 模型应用于中文命名体识别。这种模型只要求段间遵循马尔科夫规则，而段内的文本之间则可以被灵活的赋予各种规则。将这种模型用于中文命名体识别任务时，我们可以更有效更自由的设计出各种有利于识别出命名体片段边界的特征。实验表明，加入段相关的特征后，命名体识别的性能提高了 4-5 个百分点。（3）实体关系抽取的任务是判别两个实体之间的语义关系。之前的研究已经表明，待判别关系的两个实体间的语法树结构对于确定二者的关系类别是非常有用的，而相对成熟的基于平面特征的关系抽取方法在充分提取语法树结构特征方面的能力有限，因此，本文研究了基于核的中文实体关系抽取方法。针对中文特点，我们探讨了卷积（Convolution）核中使用不同的语法树对中文实体关系抽取性能的影响，构造了几种基于卷积核的复合核，改进了最短路依赖核。因为核方法开始被用于英文关系抽取时，F1 值也只有40%左右，而我们只使用作用在语法树上的卷积核时，中文关系抽取的F1 值达到了35%，可见核方法对中文关系抽取也是有效的。

A more complex neuron in biomimetic pattern recognition

Molecular cloning and characterization of a short type peptidoglycan recognition protein (CfPGRP-S1) cDNA from Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri

Peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) specifically binds to peptidoglycan and plays a crucial role in the innate immune responses as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR). The cDNA of a short type PGRP was cloned from scallop Chlamys farreri (named CfPGRP-SI) by homology cloning with degenerate primers, and confirmed by virtual Northern blots. The full length of CfPGRP-SI cDNA was 1073 bp in length, including a 5 ' untranslated region (UTR) of 59 bp, a 3 ' UTR of 255 bp, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 759 bp encoding a polypeptide of 252 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 27.88 kDa and a predicted isoelectric point of 8.69. BLAST analysis revealed that CfPGRP-S1 shared high identities with other known PGRPs. A conserved PGRP domain and three zinc-binding sites were present at its C-terminus. The temporal expression of QPGRP-S1 gene in healthy, Vibrio anguillarum-challenged and Micrococcus lysodeikticus-challenged scallops was measured by RT-PCR analysis. The expression of CfPGRP-S1 was upregulated initially in the first 12 h or 24 h either by M. lysodeikticus or V. anguillarum challenge and reached the maximum level at 24 h or 36 h, then dropped progressively, and recovered to the original level as the stimulation decreased at 72 h. There was no significant difference between V. anguillarum and M. lysodeikticus challenge. The results indicated that the CfPGRP-S1 was a constitutive and inducible acute-phase protein which was involved in the immune response against bacterial infection. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Pattern Recognition With Weighted Complex Networks

In this paper we introduce a weighted complex networks model to investigate and recognize structures of patterns. The regular treating in pattern recognition models is to describe each pattern as a high-dimensional vector which however is insufficient to express the structural information. Thus, a number of methods are developed to extract the structural information, such as different feature extraction algorithms used in pre-processing steps, or the local receptive fields in convolutional networks. In our model, each pattern is attributed to a weighted complex network, whose topology represents the structure of that pattern. Based upon the training samples, we get several prototypal complex networks which could stand for the general structural characteristics of patterns in different categories. We use these prototypal networks to recognize the unknown patterns. It is an attempt to use complex networks in pattern recognition, and our result shows the potential for real-world pattern recognition. A spatial parameter is introduced to get the optimal recognition accuracy, and it remains constant insensitive to the amount of training samples. We have discussed the interesting properties of the prototypal networks. An approximate linear relation is found between the strength and color of vertexes, in which we could compare the structural difference between each category. We have visualized these prototypal networks to show that their topology indeed represents the common characteristics of patterns. We have also shown that the asymmetric strength distribution in these prototypal networks brings high robustness for recognition. Our study may cast a light on understanding the mechanism of the biologic neuronal systems in object recognition as well.

Visual pattern recognition network: Its training algorithm and its optoelectronic architecture

A visual pattern recognition network and its training algorithm are proposed. The network constructed of a one-layer morphology network and a two-layer modified Hamming net. This visual network can implement invariant pattern recognition with respect to image translation and size projection. After supervised learning takes place, the visual network extracts image features and classifies patterns much the same as living beings do. Moreover we set up its optoelectronic architecture for real-time pattern recognition. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America

Ultrafast temporal pattern generation and recognition

Ultrafast temporal pattern generation and recognition with femtosecond laser technology is presented, analyzed, and experimentally implemented. Ultrafast temporal pattern generation and recognition are realized by taking advantage of two well-known techniques: the space-time conversion technique and the ultrafast pulse measurement technique. Here the temporal pattern for the designed multiple pulses, optimized with a preassumed Gaussian spectral distribution of an ultrashort pulse, is described. With the simulation of a Gaussian spectral distribution, we realize that the uniformity of the generated multiple ultrafast temporal pulses is relevant to the repeated number of modulation periods in the mask in the spectral plane. Moreover, the change of Gaussian spectral phases with the wavelengths in the modulated phase plate is considered. Experiments of ultrafast temporal pattern recognition by the frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) characterization technique are also given.

Environmental enrichment and chronic restraint stress in ICR mice: Effects on prepulse inhibition of startle and Y-maze spatial recognition memory

In most studies regarding the improving or therapeutical effects induced by enriched environment (EE), EE was performed after the stress treatment or in patients with certain diseases. In the current study, the effects of chronic restraint stress (6 h/day) in mice living in an enriched environment or standard environment (SE) were tested. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: non-stressed or stressed mice housed in SE or EE conditions (SE, stress + SE, EE, stress + EE). Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle was tested after the 2 weeks or 4 weeks stress and/or EE treatment and 1 or 2 weeks withdrawal from the 4 weeks treatment. After the 4 weeks treatment, spatial recognition memory in Y-maze was also tested. The results showed that EE increased PPI in stressed and non-stressed mice after 2 weeks treatment. No effect of EE on PPI was found after the 4 weeks treatment. 4 weeks chronic restraint stress increased PPI in mice housed in standard but not EE conditions. Stressed mice showed deficits on the 1 h delay version of the Y-maze which could be prevented by living in an enriched environment. Our results indicated that living in an enriched environment reversed the impairing effects of chronic restraint stress on spatial recognition memory. However, EE did not change the effects of stress on PPI. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
