This paper introduces a new representation of sentences--Minimal Meaningful Propositions (MMPS), which allows significant improvement of the mapping between a learner's answer and the ideal response.

This paper applies a deep long-short term memory (LSTM) structure to classify dialogue acts in open-domain conversations.

Article investigates the effect of elevated temperature on properties of clinoptilolite blended cements. Clinoptilolite was used at 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % replacement by weight for Portland cement while sand and water quantities were kept constant in all mix designs. The mortars with 5 % or 10 % cliniptilolite substitution have compressive strength exceeding 42.5 MPa after being subjected to 400 °C and 500 °C.

This article presents a study of the plasmonic interaction that effects the optical properties of light emission from graphene oxide system.

This article uses experiments and finite element analyses to study the structural responses and energy dissipation capacities of three different outriggers of an actual tall building project.

Patent relating to improved methods for utilizing 911 services and for implementing 911 dispatch protocols by accessing mobile phone sensors and applications.

This paper presents an approach to extract implicit interpretations from modal constructions.

This paper shows that performance of trained keyphrase extractors approximates a classifier trained on articles labeled by multiple annotators, leading to higher average F₁ scores and better rankings of keyphrases.

This paper presents a two-step procedure to extract positive meaning from verbal negation.

This review contains the authors' recent progress on the design and fabrication of 3D carbon nanostructures, their performance in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), and their implementation into large-scale, lightweight, and flexible LIBs.

This article finds that the synergy of natural fiber with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) could significantly improve thermal conductivity, compared with that solely using hBN.

This article describes the design of a dual-wavelength achromatic metasurface-based deflector deflecting the incident wave to the same direction at two selected wavelengths, which has circumvented the critical limitation of strong wavelength dependence in the planar metasurface-based devices caused by the resonant nature of the plasmonic structures.

Post presented at Contagion 2016, a satellite meeting at the 2016 Conference on Complex Systems. This poster presents a stochastic agent-based model that simulates the transmission of ZIKA via mosquitoes in 11 islands in the French Polynesia.

This article discusses molecular dynamics simulations performed to present evidence that silica structure in both short and medium ranges is directly modified by UV-induced defects.

This paper presents an approach to automatic question generation that significantly increases the percentage of acceptable questions compared to prior state-of-the-art systems.

This article presents a lens positioning and mounting in a few microns accuracy using a kinematic mount module.

This paper complements semantic role representations with spatial knowledge beyond indicating plain locations.

This article conducts a direct comparison between the oxidation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-4V + 1B to elucidate whether the addition of boron to Ti-^Al-4V impacts the oxidation behavior.

Patent relating to a system and methods of machining hard tissues, such as bone.

This article explores the effects of carbonization temperature and mass ratio of wood/resin on electromagnetic interference, shielding effectiveness, and morphology of woodceramics.

This article describes fabricating wood-rubber composites using rubber processing to improve water resistance and mechanical properties.

This paper presents a methodology to extract positive interpretations from negated statements.

This article discusses a North American effort which formed as part of the NSF Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), known as Enabling Performance-Based Seismic Design of Multi-Story Cold-Formed Steel Structures (CFS-NEES), as it addresses seismic performance-based design for cold-formed steel framed buildings.
