Mapping Between Old and New Estonian Orthography Using Finite State Transducers
Get PDFKaasajal on aktuaalne kõiksugu kirjalike allikate automatiseeritud analüüs. Analüüsiks kasutatavad infotehnoloogilised vahendid on aga edukalt rakendatavad üksnes sõnadele, mis on morfoloogilisel tasemel vastavuses tänapäevaste õigekirja normidega. Seega tuleb ajaloolisi tekste esmalt normaliseerida. Probleemile võib läheneda kahest suunast. Ühest küljest võib vanas kirjaviisis tekstid täielikult kaasaega tuua, asendades kõik vanapärased sõnavormid nende kaasaegsete vastetega. Nii on tekstid kaasaegsetele automaatanalüüsitehnoloogiatele arusaadavad ning ka inimestele kergesti loetavad, kuid kaduma läheb oluline info kunagise keelekasutuse kohta. Teine võimalus on muuta olemasolevaid keelt analüüsivaid vahendeid selliselt, et need oskaks ära tunda ka vanas kirjaviisis sõnavorme. Bakalaureusetöös kasutatakse mõlemat lähenemist. Võttes aluseks 1739. aasta Piibli teksti, kirjutatakse uus ortograafiamuundur, mis vastendab vanas kirjaviisis sõnu nende tänapäevaste kujudega. Lisaks kohandatakse olemasolevat eesti keele morfoloogiamuundurit vana kirjakeelega, et oleks võimalik säilitada sõnade tollane kuju, seostades neid siiski kaasaegsete sõnavormidega. Töös antakse ka näpunäiteid, kuidas alustatud lahendust tulevikus edasi arendama peaks.Nowadays it is common to analyse all kinds of written sources automatically. However, the necessary technologies are only applicable to words that follow the morphological rules of the modern language. Therefore, it is necessary to normalize historical texts that are written using the old Estonian orthography. This problem may approached from two different angles. On the one hand, it is possible to convert all old Estonian orthography forms to their modern counterparts. This would make the texts easy to understand for both the automated analysis technologies and also for the people who are not so familiar with the old Estonian orthography. However, valuable information about how the language has changed, would be lost. The second approach is to adapt the current technologies to make them recognize the old word forms. In this thesis, both solutions are used. The author creates a new orthographic transducer that maps old word forms from the 1739 Bible translation to their modern forms. In addition, an existing morphological analyser of the Estonian language is modified, to allow it to recognize old Estonian orthography word forms. The author also gives suggestions for future developments of the created system
The Process of Creating a Scientific Knowledge Base for Pharmacogenetic Testing
Get PDFPharmacogenetics is a branch of personalised medicine that investigates the impact of genetic fac-tors on drug response. Adequate IT solutions are the key components of applying pharmacogenetic knowledge to clinical practice. This thesis describes the process of designing and implementing a curated scientific knowledge base to be used by a software-based medical device for pharmaco-genetic testing. Based on scientific literature, a prototype is built to identify main domain objects and processes for curating the knowledge base. The final implementation is created by using the Qure Data Management Platform
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
