Inkrementelle Koreferenzanalyse für das Deutsche
Es wird ein inkrementeller Ansatz zur Koreferenzanalyse
deutscher Texte vorgestellt. Wir zeigen
anhand einer breiten empirischen Untersuchung,
dass ein inkrementelles Verfahren einem nichtinkrementellen
überlegen ist und dass jeweils die
Verwendung von mehreren Klassifizierern bessere
Resultate ergibt als die Verwendung von nur einem.
Zudem definieren wir ein einfaches Salienzmass,
dass annähernd so gute Ergebnisse ergibt wie ein
ausgefeiltes, auf maschinellem Lernen basiertes
Verfahren. Die Vorverarbeitung erfolgt ausschliesslich
durch reale Komponenten, es wird nicht - wie
so oft - auf perfekte Daten (z.B. Baumbank statt
Parser) zurückgegriffen. Entsprechend tief sind die
empirischen Ergebnisse. Der Ansatz operiert mit
harten linguistischen Filtern, wodurch die Menge
der Antezedenskandidaten klein gehalten wird. Die
Evaluierung erfolgt anhand der Koreferenzannotationen
der TüBa-D/Z
Anaphora Resolution with Real Preprocessing
In this paper we focus on anaphora resolution for German, a highly inflected language which also allows for closed form compounds (i.e. compounds without spaces). Especially, we describe a system that only uses real preprocessing components, e.g. a dependency parser, a two-level morphological analyser etc. We trace the performance drop occurring under these conditions back to underspecification and ambiguity at the morphological level. A demanding subtask of anaphora resolution are the so-called bridging anaphora, a special variant of nominal anaphora where the heads of the coreferent noun phrases do not match. We experiment with two different resources in order to find out how to cope best with this problem
Experimental and simulation efforts in the astrobiological exploration of exooceans
The icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are perhaps the most promising places in the Solar System regarding habitability. However, the potential habitable environments are hidden underneath km-thick ice shells. The discovery of Enceladus’ plume by the Cassini mission has provided vital clues in our understanding of the processes occurring within the interior of exooceans. To interpret these data and to help configure instruments for future missions, controlled laboratory experiments and simulations are needed. This review aims to bring together studies and experimental designs from various scientific fields currently investigating the icy moons, including planetary sciences, chemistry, (micro-)biology, geology, glaciology, etc. This chapter provides an overview of successful in situ, in silico, and in vitro experiments, which explore different regions of interest on icy moons, i.e. a potential plume, surface, icy shell, water and brines, hydrothermal vents, and the rocky core
Model development of the Aquistore CO2 storage project
AbstractThe Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, through the Energy & Environmental Research Center, is collaborating with Petroleum Technology Research Centre in site characterization; risk assessment; public outreach; and monitoring, verification, and accounting activities at the Aquistore project. The PCOR Partnership constructed a static geological model to assess the potential volumetric storage capacity of the Aquistore site and provide the foundation for dynamic simulation for the dynamic CO2 storage capacity. Results of the predictive simulations will be used in the risk assessment process to define an overall monitoring plan and assure stakeholders that the injected CO2 will remain safely stored
Estimating CO₂ emissions for 108000 European cities
City-level CO₂ emissions inventories are foundational for supporting the EU's decarbonization goals. Inventories are essential for priority setting and for estimating impacts from the decarbonization transition. Here we present a new CO₂ emissions inventory for all 116572 municipal and local-government units in Europe, containing 108000 cities at the smallest scale used. The inventory spatially disaggregates the national reported emissions, using nine spatialization methods to distribute the 167 line items detailed in the National Inventory Reports (NIRs) using the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) Common Reporting Framework (CRF). The novel contribution of this model is that results are provided per administrative jurisdiction at multiple administrative levels, following the region boundaries defined OpenStreetMap, using a new spatialization approach
Development of an approximate method for quantum optical models and their pseudo-Hermicity
An approximate method is suggested to obtain analytical expressions for the
eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the some quantum optical models. The method
is based on the Lie-type transformation of the Hamiltonians. In a particular
case it is demonstrated that Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian can
easily be solved within the framework of the suggested approximation. The
method presented here is conceptually simple and can easily be extended to the
other quantum optical models. We also show that for a purely imaginary coupling
the Hamiltonian becomes non-Hermitian but -symmetric. Possible generalization of this approach is outlined.Comment: Paper prepared fo the "3rd International Workshop on Pseudo-Hermitian
Hamiltonians in Quantum Physics" June 2005 Istanbul. To be published in

Become the best coach you can be: the role of coach training and coaching experience in workplace coaching quality and quality control
This paper explores whether coach training or coaching experience leads to better coaching quality and quality control. In two large studies, both coaches (N1 = 2267) and personnel managers who book coaches for their company (N2 = 754) answered questions about coaching quality and quality control. The results show that more coach training leads to not only a better self-perceived coaching quality (Study 1) but also a better other-perceived coaching-quality (Study 2); moreover, more coach training positively affects quality control. It is remarkable that coaching experience showed no significant relation regarding other-perceived coaching quality and quality control. Study 2 further revealed that references lead to more recommendations but not to a better coaching quality or quality control. Thus, coach training is an essential factor when selecting organizational coaches. Further research is needed to understand the impact of different approaches to coach trainings on coaching outcomes
Annotated chemical patent corpus: A gold standard for text mining
Exploring the chemical and biological space covered by patent applications is crucial in early-stage medicinal chemistry activities. Patent analysis can provide understanding of compound prior art, novelty checking, validation of biological assays, and identification of new starting points for chemical exploration. Extracting chemical and biological entities from patents through manual extraction by expert curators can take substantial amount of time and resources. Text mining methods can help to ease this process. To validate the performance of such methods, a manually annotated patent corpus is essential. In this study we have produced a large gold standard chemical patent corpus. We developed annotation guidelines and selected 200 full patents from the World Intellectual Property Organization, United States Patent and Trademark Office, and European Patent Office. The patents were pre-annotated automatically and made available to four independent annotator groups each consisting of two to ten annotators. The annotators marked chemicals in different subclasses, diseases, t
