Argument Relation Classification through Discourse Markers and Adversarial Training
No full textArgument relation classification (ARC) identifies supportive, contrasting and neutral relations between argumentative units.The current approaches rely on transformer architectures which have proven to be more effective than traditional methods based on hand-crafted linguistic features.In this paper, we introduce DISARM, which advances the state of the art with a training procedure combining multi-task and adversarial learning strategies.By jointly solving the ARC and discourse marker detection tasks and aligning their embedding spaces into a unified latent space, DISARM outperforms the accuracy of existing approaches
Esposoma: da intuizione a linea di ricerca obbligata nelle Scienze Mediche Occupazionale e Ambientali
No full textLa decodifica del genoma umano ha permesso
non solo l’acquisizione di importanti conoscenze sul nostro
patrimonio genetico, ma ha soprattutto comportato una svolta
metodologica: con la genomica infatti nascono le “omics”,
un nuovo modo di produrre sapere scientifico a partire
da raccolte di dati sistematici ed organizzati (database)
di dimensioni sempre maggiori. L’esposomica rappresenta
un’applicazione di questo metodo allo studio delle esposizioni
ambientali ed occupazionali: l’obiettivo è idealmente la
decodifica delle molteplici esposizioni a cui un individuo
è sottoposto, da mettere in relazione con altri “omics”
(trascrittomica, proteomica, epigenomica) per meglio
interpretare eventuali effetti sulla salute umana.
Dalla formulazione dell’idea di esposoma, nei primi anni 2000,
si avanza oggi verso la sua formalizzazione mediante studi
promossi e condotti da prestigiosi centri di ricerca europei.
La Medicina del Lavoro si propone quale protagonista per lo
sviluppo dell’esposomica con un duplice ruolo di indirizzo:
di metodo e di contenuto; il Medico del Lavoro conosce infatti
come qualificare e quantificare le esposizioni: le tecniche proprie
dell’igiene industriale, della psicologia del lavoro dell’ergonomia
possono essere opportunamente adattate per un utilizzo che
superi gli stretti confini del mondo del lavoro; possiede inoltre
la conoscenza specialistica dei contesti espositivi occupazionali,
dei rischi specifici e delle patologie che possono essere messe
in relazione con le esposizioni
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
