Distributed Representations of Lexical Sets and Prototypes in Causal Alternation Verbs
No full textLexical sets are sets of words filling a specific argument position of a verb in one of its senses. They can be extracted from corpora automatically. The purpose of this paper is demonstrating that the properties of lexical sets are mirrored by their distributed vector representations. This provides insights onto many linguistic phenomena, such as the causative-inchoative alternation in the verbal domain. A first experiment aims at investigating the internal structure of the sets, whose meanings are known to be radial and continuous categories cognitively. In particular, we establish an equivalence between the prototype of a set of words and the centroid of a set of vectors. A second experiment shows that the distance between the intransitive subject set and transitive object set is correlated with the spontaneity of the event expressed by the verb, defined in terms of morphological coding and frequency
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Toward Data-Driven Collaborative Dialogue Systems: The JILDA Dataset
No full textToday’s goal-oriented dialogue systems are designed to operate in restricted domains and with the implicit assumption that the user goals fit the domain ontology of the system. Under these assumptions dialogues exhibit only limited collaborative phenomena. However, this is not necessarily true in more complex scenarios, where user and system need to collaborate to align their knowledge of the domain in order to improve the conversation and achieve their goals.To foster research on data-driven collaborative dialogues, in this paper we present JILDA, a fully annotated dataset of chat-based, mixed-initiative Italian dialogues related to the job-offer domain. As far as we know, JILDA is the first dialogic corpus completely annotated in this domain. The analysis realised on top of the semantic annotations clearly shows the naturalness and greater complexity of JILDA’s dialogues. In fact, the new dataset offers a large number of examples of pragmatic phenomena, such as proactivity (i.e., providing information not explicitly requested) and grounding, which are rarely investigated in AI conversational agents based on neural architectures. In conclusion, the annotated JILDA corpus, given its innovative characteristics, represents a new challenge for conversational agents and an important resource for tackling more complex scenarios, thus advancing the state of the art in this field
Ovulation induction in young girls with menometrorragia: a safe and effective treatment
No full textThe prevalence of menometrorrhagia in fertile women is 11.4-13.2% and increases with aging. The presence of metrorrhagia is a relatively common cause of concern among adolescents and their parents, as well as a frequent cause of visits to emergency departments, gynaecologists, and pediatricians. Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that increases the production of gonadotropins by inhibiting negative feedback on the hypothalamus.
Clomiphene is primarily used in the treatment of female infertility for ovulation induction to reverse oligoovulation or anovulation, as occurs in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of clomiphene citrate in ovulation induction, and therefore, in the cessation of bleeding in adolescents with menometrorrhagia in the absence of uterine, ovarian, or systemic pathologies.
Design: Cohort study.
Materials and methods: The study group was comprised of 50 subjects (age range, 13-16 years) with menometrorrhagia (bleeding >7 days in length with an average blood loss >80 ml). The treatment with clomiphene citrate at a dose of 50 mg/day for 5 days during the attack cycle, and from days 3 to 7 of three subsequent cycles, was offered to the patients.
Results: After three cycles of therapy, all patients had resolution of the menometrorrhagia and resumption of ovulatory cycles. No patient reported unwanted side effects.
Conclusion: We propose that low-dose clomiphene should be the first step in the treatment of adolescent dysfunctional bleeding (DUB)

No full textAfter publication of this article [1], the authors noted that the given names and family names of all authors had been inverted, and are therefore incorrect in the original article. In the original article, the author names appear as the following: Gallone Maria Serena, Gallone Maria Filomena, Larocca Angela Maria Vittoria, Germinario Cinzia and Tafuri Silvio. However, this is incorrect, and the author names should appear as per the below: Maria Serena Gallone, Maria Filomena Gallone, Angela Maria Vittoria Larocca, Cinzia Germinario, Silvio Tafuri. The author names have been corrected in the author list and the citation for this Erratum
Tuning DeSR for Dependency Parsing of Italian
No full textDeSR is a statistical transition-based dependency parser that learns from a training corpus suitable actions to take in order to build a parse tree while scanning a sentence. DeSR can be configured to use different feature models and classifier types. We tuned the parser for the Evalita 2011 corpora by performing several experiments of feature selection and also by adding some new features. The submitted run used DeSR with two additional techniques: (1) reverse revision parsing, which addresses the problem of long distance dependencies, by extracting hints from the output of a first parser as input to a second parser running in the opposite direction; (2) parser combination, which consists in combining the outputs of different configurations of the parser. The submission achieved best accuracy among pure statistical parsers. An analysis of the errors shows that the accuracy is quite high on half of the test set and lower on the second half, which belongs to a different domain. We propose a variant of the parsing algorithm to address these shortcomings
