Removing noisy mentions for distant supervision

Los métodos para Extracción de Información basados en la Supervisión a Distancia se basan en usar tuplas correctas para adquirir menciones de esas tuplas, y así entrenar un sistema tradicional de extracción de información supervisado. En este artículo analizamos las fuentes de ruido en las menciones, y exploramos métodos sencillos para filtrar menciones ruidosas. Los resultados demuestran que combinando el filtrado de tuplas por frecuencia, la información mutua y la eliminación de menciones lejos de los centroides de sus respectivas etiquetas mejora los resultados de dos modelos de extracción de información significativamente.

On the construction of new bent functions from the max-weight and min-weight functions of old bent functions

Given a bent function f (x) of n variables, its max-weight and min-weight functions are introduced as the Boolean functions f + (x) and f − (x) whose supports are the sets {a ∈ Fn2 | w( f ⊕la) = 2n−1+2 n 2 −1} and {a ∈ Fn2 | w( f ⊕la) = 2n−1−2 n 2 −1} respectively, where w( f ⊕ la) denotes the Hamming weight of the Boolean function f (x) ⊕ la(x) and la(x) is the linear function defined by a ∈ Fn2 . f + (x) and f − (x) are proved to be bent functions. Furthermore, combining the 4 minterms of 2 variables with the max-weight or min-weight functions of a 4-tuple ( f0(x), f1(x), f2(x), f3(x)) of bent functions of n variables such that f0(x) ⊕ f1(x) ⊕ f2(x) ⊕ f3(x) = 1, a bent function of n + 2 variables is obtained. A family of 4-tuples of bent functions satisfying the above condition is introduced, and finally, the number of bent functions we can construct using the method introduced in this paper are obtained. Also, our construction is compared with other constructions of bent functions.
