UFMG at the TREC 2016 Dynamic Domain track
2016
Text Retrieval Conference
In TREC 2016, we focus on tackling the challenges posed by the Dynamic Domain (DD) track. The goal of the TREC DD track is to support research in dynamic, exploratory search within a complex domain. ...
To this end, our participation investigates the suitability of multiple diversification approaches for dynamic information retrieval. ...
INTRODUCTION The TREC 2016 Dynamic Domain (DD) track [5] consists of performing an interactive search task in a specific domain. ...

Stochastic Metaheuristics as Sampling Techniques using Swarm Intelligence
[chapter]
2007
Swarm Intelligence, Focus on Ant and Particle Swarm Optimization
They have the advantage of being generic methods, thus do not require a complex tuning for each problem, and can be used as a kind of "black boxes". ...
Recall that, generally, optimization algorithms search for a point into the search space, so as to optimize (i.e., minimize or maximize) the objective function (also called fitness or goal function). ...
This is typically a local search algorithm (for instance with the Nelder-Mead algorithm [45] or a taboo search). • Diversification aims at collecting new information, by exploring the search space. ...

Life as complex systems: Viewpoint from intra-inter dynamics
1998
Complexity
As a construction in a computer, intra-inter dynamics is presented for cell biology, where the following five general features are drawn from our model experiments; intrinsic diversification, recursive ...
Basic problems in complex systems are surveyed in connection with Life. As a key issue for complex systems, complementarity between syntax/rule/parts and semantics/behavior/whole is stressed. ...
I am grateful to them for stimulating discussions. The work is partially supported by Grant-in-Aids for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture of Japan. ...

Theoretical frameworks like the Probability Ranking Principle and its more recent Interactive Information Retrieval variant have guided the development of ranking and retrieval algorithms for decades, ...
Our experiments confirm that in this scenario, one of the effects of optimizing for UD is the diversification of search results. ...

Toward the Integrated Framework Analysis of Linkages among Agrobiodiversity, Livelihood Diversification, Ecological Systems, and Sustainability amid Global Change
2016
Land
The environmental impacts of livelihood interactions correspond to variation of diversification (migration, on-farm diversification) and resource system (i.e., agrobiodiversity per se, soil, water). ...
We hypothesize these interactions depend on: (1) scope of livelihood diversification and type resource system; and (2) plant residues and above-/belowground component ecological specificity. ...
For example, influential interactions occur within the human system influencing livelihood diversification. ...

Coevolutionary dynamics of adaptive radiation for food-web development
2008
Population Ecology
To investigate how complex food-webs can develop through repeated evolutionary diversification, a predator-prey model was analyzed. ...
Predator-prey interactions among the phenotypes are determined by their relative positions in the phenotype space. Each phenotypic cluster was treated as a species. ...

Discovery of Novel DENN Proteins: Implications for the Evolution of Eukaryotic Intracellular Membrane Structures and Human Disease
2012
Frontiers in Genetics
Thus, the origin of the longin domains from this ancient GTPase-interacting domain, concomitant with the radiation of GTPases, especially of the Rab clade, played an important role in the dynamics of eukaryotic ...
The tripartite DENN module, comprised of a N-terminal longin domain, followed by DENN, and d-DENN domains, is a GDP-GTP exchange factor (GEFs) for Rab GTPases, which are regulators of practically all membrane ...

Phylogenetic congruence between Neotropical primates and plants is driven by frugivory
2021
Ecology Letters
Seed dispersal benefits plants and frugivores, and potentially drives co-evolution, with consequences to diversification evidenced for, e.g., primates. ...
We tested for phylogenetic congruences in primate-plant interactions and showed strong co-phylogenetic signals across Neotropical forests, suggesting that both primates and plants share evolutionary history ...
