Update myself

After the English class and after the supper, I fell some gloomy. And after wrote some heart monologue I dicided to go for a walk.

When I passed by the baskatball playground, I was infected by the atmosphere of sport. I came into the playground in spite of myself. I began to play with others. When I played the basketball I thought I found back the progressional motivity. That's sport.

Yes. I had not do some drastic sports for nearly a whole month. Tomorrow, I could do some morning exercise and some morning English reading. Yes. I could call together some classmates of my English class to play basketball or foot ball.

Change to another life. Yes, it must be with sports. Forget any gloomy thing. Try my best to do everything of my task.

Let me begin!!

The Buddha Halo

Next week, our English class topic is Natural Wonder. I first think about the Buddha's Halo of Mt.Emei which is my home town.

Sixteen hundred years ago, an Indian monk came to Cinisthana, as China was called by the Indians in those days. He climbed to the top of Emei Mountain and was fascinated by the beautiful scenery. “This is the number one mountain in Cinisthana,” he said.
Emei Mountain rises like a green tower on the western Chengdu Plain. Viewed from a distance, the contour of the mountain looks like a girl’s face with slender eyebrows; hence the name Emei, or tall eyebrows. Emei Mountain rises and falls for more than 200 kilometers before it meets Qionglai Mountain, a part of Asia’s Backbone, or the Kunlun Mountain Range. Emei Mountain consists of Da’e, Er’e, San’e, and Si’e hills. Da’e Hill is a concentration of strangely shaped peaks and places of scenic beauty and historic interest. It is the hill most visited by tourists on Emei Mountain.
Of all the tourist attractions in China, Emei Mountain is the highest. Wanfoding (the Summit of Ten Thousand Buddhas), its highest peak, rises 3,099 meters above sea level, much higher than the Five Sacred Mountains: Mount Taishan in Shandong, Mount Hengshan in Hunan, Mount Huashan in Shaanxi, Mount Hengshan in Shanxi, and Mount Songshan in Henan. Legend has it that the Five Sacred Mountains are where the immortals stay.
The craggy southern side of Emei Mountain is crisscrossed by ravines and covered with a dense growth of plants. The northern side features sheer precipices and waterfalls cascading down the mountain slopes.
The mountain is warm and humid with abundant mist and rain. In spring and summer, flowers blossom luxuriantly among a verdant growth of mountain plants. Refined scholars of the past dynasties visited the mountain and wrote many poems in admiration of the enchanting scenery. One of the poems composed by a man of letters during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) reads, “Rising sky high, the lofty Emei Mountain is enveloped in mist and clouds for more than 100 li (50km). Narrow paths zigzag uphill, and the exotic peaks are in the shape of lotus blossoms.”
Jindingxiangguang (the Auspicious Light at the Golden Summit), also called Foguang (Buddha’s Halo), tops the list of the ten principal scenic attractions of Emei Mountain. Buddhist followers say it is the light from Buddha’s forehead, but others say it is a physical phenomenon. Before sunset after a rain or a snowfall, the sunlight penetrates the mist and clouds and forms a circle of seven colors by refraction through the tiny water drops in the mist. One may feel as though caught in the circle, which seems to move in synchronization with one’s own movements, much like one’s shadow. For centuries, this phenomenon was enshrouded in mystery, and Buddhists consider it good fortune to visit Emei Mountain and see Buddha’s Halo.

Next plan for CR

When I finished the work of extenting the test samples scale, I found out that the accuracy of the test result was nearly the same as the former.

And after some consideration of the next plan for CR, I decided to write a program which could identify all the coreference relation of the text.

There must have some sub modules, such as some attributes inentifiers and the design tree application module. But how to display the relation. I fell I could use the arc module of the dependency analysis module.

Ok. Why not try it now.

Coreference Resolution Results Analysis

Just now I had tagged about one hundred and twenty-five examples. And I divided them into two parts: one hundred for training and close test, twenty-five for open test. The experimental result displayed that the accuracy of the close test had direct ratio with that of the open test. The best wxperimental result was as follows:

Decision tree:

IJ全匹配 = T: T (12.2)
IJ全匹配 = F:
:...J是I的抽取 = T: T (4)
J是I的抽取 = F:
:...J是I的子串 = T: T (5.4)
J是I的子串 = F:
:...J的类型 in {H,P,O,T,G}: F (35.1/5.3)
J的类型 = D:
:...I的被修饰数量类型 = T: T (5.7)
I的被修饰数量类型 = F:
:...I的单复数 in {S,P}: T (22.5/2.9)
I的单复数 = U: F (15.2/3.9)

Evaluation on training data (100 cases):

Trial Decision Tree
----- ----------------
Size Errors
5 7 4( 4.0%)


Evaluation on test data (25 cases):

Trial Decision Tree
----- ----------------
Size Errors
5 7 1( 4.0%)

This result was so winderful for me too believe. After my analysis, I found out some reasons. First the close test with very high accuracy was too small. Second, the test samples were not enough.

But during some discuss with Mrs.Qin, she thought my method was right. I only should add twenty-five test amples and then get some new test result.

Extension Theory

This morning, Dr.Tliu sent us some mails about Extension Theory. It was said that the creator of this theory would give a speech in our school this afternoon.

The background introduction of the creator, Cai Jing, and Extension Theory was very ample. It was said that Extension was one of the three national theories that were created by Chinese. And I spent soome time to find out what were the other two. And in Soft Sciense Handbook, the other two were Pansystem Methodology and Grey Theory. The creators were admired by all of us.

And on the lecture Mr.Cai Jing gave us the outline of Extension Theory. This theory was very active. It had been extent a lot.

There were not any example of the extension theory applied in NLP and IR. So when I had free time, I would learn it and try to use it with Grey Theory in NLP and IR.

So lucky to learn it.

Visiting Arboretum

There was some high need of our English class to have a collective activity. And after some harmony, we only had 27th, May, scilicet today.

This morning, we, about twenty of all classmates, gatherd in front of Dianji Building. By the eighty-one line bus, we came to the arboretum.

Today was the birthday of Sakyamuni. It was the most important festival for each buddhist. And our teacher was a buddhist. She brought about sixty birds and all of us help her to free captive animals.

After the freeing captive animals ceremony, we began to visit the arboretum. We were so delight that we played with water, played card, kicked shuttlecock, skipped rope, cycled and had our lunch.

We all fell delight. When we came back, all of our classmates had a dine together.

I thought when we were playing, we should enjoy ourself; when we were working, we should try our best. Tomorrow, I must finish my ppt task.

Design tree for CR

Right now there were ninety-one samples of my NP tagged corpus. And based on them I had obtain the design tree.

Decision tree:

J是I的抽取 = T: T (4.2)
J是I的抽取 = F:
:...J是I的子串 = T: T (5.4)
J是I的子串 = F:
:...IJ全匹配 = T: T (8.6)
IJ全匹配 = F:
:...I的类型 in {P,T,D}: F (6.6)
I的类型 in {H,O,G}:
:...J的类型 in {H,P,O,T,G}: F (29.6/6.1)
J的类型 = D:
:...I的类型 = H: T (8.1)
I的类型 in {O,G}:
:...I的性别 = M: F (0)
I的性别 = F: T (2.2)
I的性别 = U:
:...J的性别 in {M,F}: F (11.9/2.1)
J的性别 = U: T (14.4/2.6)


I thought the tree was beautiful. But there was another that the number of the samples were fewer. So tomorrow, I must tag more to finish my recent work.
