Search Results for "hold"

A minimalist approach to share text documents and data annotations. Allows a large number of different annotations to be represented. Project files contain: - simple code to hold/read/write data and perform sample processing. - BioC-formatted corpora - BioC tools that work with BioC corpora BioC goals - simplicity - interoperability - broad use - reuse There should be little investment required to learn to use a format or a software module to process that format. We are interested in reuse, and we focus on common NLP tasks that are broadly useful for textmining.

...Main object is a sparse bit string (Bits) that efficiently scales up to 2^63 bits normally compressed as forest has duplicated substrings. Bits objects support reading bit, byte, short, int, or long (Java primitives) at any bit index in 64 bit range. Example: instead of building a class to hold a header and then data, represent all of that as Bits, subranges of them, and ints for sizes of its parts. Expansion ability for other kinds of compression, since Bits is a Java interface. Main functions on bits are substring, concat, number of 0 or 1 bits, and number of bits (size). All those operations can be done millions of times per second regardless of size because the AVL forest reuses existing branches recursively. ...

Semantic query optimization (SQO) is the process of finding equivalent rewritings of an input query given constraints that hold in a database instance. We present a Chase & Backchase (C&B) algorithm strategy that generalizes and improves on well-known methods in the field. The implementation of our approach, the pegasus system, outperforms existing C&B systems an average by two orders of magnitude. This gain in performance is due to a combination of novel methods that lower the complexity in practical situations significantly.

Developed at Medical Research Council UK to meet a common clinical trial need to track various types of clinical data. Users log dates of completed tasks against participant ID. Simple, useable, reduces lost data! Makes graphical progress reports.
