Relevance conditionals (RCs) such as (1) have puzzled semanticists for decades. In contrast to the case of a regular conditional like (2), the if-clause in a relevance con-ditional does not state a condition under which the consequent is claimed to hold. Instead, the consequent seems to be put

Communication is a goal–directed activity. In general, it can serve multiple pur-poses, e.g. information transfer, expression of emotions, making promises,... Ac-cording to H.P. Grice (1989), if communication is to be successful, the specific purpose of the communicative act has to be known and accepted by all partici-

Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. We study how to select good features according to the maximal statistical dependency criterion based on mutual information. Because of the difficulty in directly implementing the maximal dependency condition, we first

ABSTRACT: This paper examines eight published reviews each reporting results from several related trials. Each review pools the results from the relevant trials in order to evaluate the efficacy of a certain treatment for a specified medical condition. These reviews lack consistent assessment

into categories and simulating a subset of each category, thus supplying a condensed but comprehensive side by side comparison. The simulations are designed to pinpoint, in each category, specific failures to network conditions that are relevant to MANETs, e.g., bandwidth congestion and dynamic topologies

forecast distribution provides conditionally well-calibrated density forecasts of returns, from which we obtain accurate estimates of conditional return quantiles. In the remainder of this paper, we proceed as follows. We begin in section 2 by formally developing the relevant quadratic variation theory

implementation of GloMoSim can be executed using a variety of conservative synchronization protocols, which include the null message and conditional event algorithms. This paper describes the GloMoSim library, addresses a number of issues relevant to its parallelization, and presents a set of experimental

of its three-dimensional position, orientation, and the lighting conditions. Such a problem is challenging because faces are nonrigid and have a high degree of variability in size, shape, color, and texture. Numerous techniques have been developed to detect faces in a single image, and the purpose

A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally

This paper revisits the Relevancy Condition on the Internally Headed Relative Clause (IHRC) construction in Korean and proposes a more valid rendition thereof. Specifically, it shows that, for a sentence instantiating the IHRC construction to be interpretable, the content of the embedded clause
