[ { "content": "In the early 1900s, your great-grandparent, a prominent figure in the town's development, devised a unique layout for the town center. The town center is designed in a circular shape with a radius of 500 meters. Inside this circle, there are three major landmarks: the Town Hall, the Museum, and the Library, which form a triangle. The distances between these landmarks are as follows: Town Hall to Museum is 600 meters, Museum to Library is 400 meters, and Library to Town Hall is 700 meters.\n\n1.

By decomposing the data into seasonal, trend, and residual components, you can calculate the average flow more accurately by focusing on the trend component.\n \n2. **Moving Averages**:\n - Applying moving averages can smooth out short-term fluctuations and highlight long-term trends in the data. By using a window of previous daily flow measurements to calculate the average, you can account for seasonal patterns or trends that affect the overall flow.\n \n3. **Weighted Averages**:\n - Assigning different weights to daily flow measurements based on their relevance or significance can help in capturing seasonal variations more effectively. By giving higher weights to recent data or data points that represent peak seasons, the average flow calculation can better reflect the underlying patterns in the measurements.\n\nBy incorporating these techniques or a combination of them into the calculation process, you can improve the accuracy of the average flow estimation, especially when dealing with data that exhibits seasonal patterns or trends that impact the wastewater flow measurements.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Wetlands are critical stopover sites for many migratory bird species, offering essential resources for rest, feeding, and refueling during long journeys. However, the loss and degradation of wetlands due to climate change and human activities pose a significant threat to migratory birds, as these habitats are essential for supporting diverse insect populations that birds rely on for their survival. Protecting and restoring wetlands are essential strategies in mitigating the impact of climate change on migratory bird populations. \n\n***\n\nClimate change significantly impacts the availability of suitable habitats for migratory birds, particularly affecting wetlands, which play a crucial role in supporting bird populations. Rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns can lead to wetland loss and degradation, reducing the essential stopover sites for migratory birds along their migration routes. Wetlands provide critical resources such as food, shelter, and nesting sites for birds, but climate change-induced changes threaten the availability and quality of these habitats, disrupting the birds' ability to rest and refuel during their long journeys. As a result, migratory bird populations face challenges in finding suitable locations for breeding, feeding, and resting, impacting their overall survival and reproductive success. \n\nFurthermore, the decline of wetlands due to climate change not only affects migratory bird populations but also disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems. Wetlands support diverse insect populations that birds rely on for food, and the loss of wetland habitats can lead to declines in insect abundance, affecting the availability of prey for migratory birds. This disruption can have cascading effects on bird populations, as inadequate food sources can lead to reduced fitness and reproductive success. Protecting and restoring wetlands are essential steps in mitigating the impacts of climate change on migratory bird habitats, ensuring the preservation of these crucial ecosystems for both bird species and the broader biodiversity they support.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you discuss the role of international cooperation and policy-making in addressing the conservation of migratory bird habitats and mitigating the impacts of climate change on these ecosystems?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "International cooperation and policy-making play a crucial role in addressing the conservation of migratory bird habitats and mitigating the impacts of climate change on these ecosystems. Given the transboundary nature of migratory birds' journeys, collaboration among countries is essential to protect critical habitats, such as wetlands, along migration routes. International agreements, such as the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and various migratory bird treaties, facilitate coordinated efforts to conserve important bird habitats and promote sustainable practices to safeguard these ecosystems. Through shared policies and conservation strategies, countries can work together to preserve key stopover sites, address habitat loss, and mitigate climate change impacts on migratory bird populations.\n\nMoreover, international cooperation allows for the exchange of scientific knowledge, best practices, and resources to enhance conservation efforts for migratory bird habitats. By engaging in joint research initiatives, monitoring programs, and conservation projects, countries can collectively identify threats to bird populations, implement effective management measures, and establish conservation priorities on a global scale. Policy frameworks at the international level can also support sustainable land use practices, habitat restoration projects, and climate change adaptation strategies to ensure the long-term survival of migratory birds and the ecosystems they depend on.

AI-powered algorithms can analyze large sets of satellite data to track bird movements, migration patterns, and habitat use with greater precision and efficiency. By utilizing machine learning, researchers can identify key environmental factors influencing bird behaviors and habitat preferences, helping to understand how climate change affects migratory bird populations. Drones provide another innovative approach by offering aerial surveys of habitats, enabling detailed monitoring of wetlands, nesting sites, and potential threats to bird habitats. These unmanned aerial vehicles can collect high-resolution imagery and data, enhancing conservation efforts by mapping habitat changes, monitoring vegetation health, and assessing ecosystem conditions in a non-invasive manner.\n\nCombining AI and drone technologies can further enhance monitoring capabilities by providing real-time insights into bird populations, habitat dynamics, and climate change impacts. AI algorithms can process drone-collected data to detect changes in wetland conditions, assess habitat quality, and predict future trends in migratory bird distributions. By integrating these advanced technologies, conservationists and researchers can develop more targeted and proactive strategies to protect migratory bird habitats, mitigate the effects of climate change, and promote sustainable management practices.

Here is a comprehensive response to the query about the features of the Taiwan 108 Curriculum:\n\nThe Taiwan 108 Curriculum, implemented in September of last year, marks a significant shift in the educational landscape [[1](https://www.parenting.com.tw/article/5078799)]. It introduces a competency-based approach, emphasizing the cultivation of skills and abilities over rote memorization [[4](https://academy.snapask.com/zh-tw/post/%E3%80%90108%E8%AA%B2%E7%B6%B1%E3%80%91%20%20%E4%B8%89%E5%88%86%E9%90%98%E8%AA%8D%E8%AD%98%E3%80%8C%E7%B4%A0%E9%A4%8A%E3%80%8D%E5%AD%B8%E7%BF%92-8c8410209be1)]. This shift aims to prepare students for a more holistic and practical approach to learning that aligns with the changing demands of the modern world.\n\nOne of the key features of the 108 Curriculum is its emphasis on fostering core competencies and skills among students, known as \"core literacy\" [[4](https://academy.snapask.com/zh-tw/post/%E3%80%90108%E8%AA%B2%E7%B6%B1%E3%80%91%20%20%E4%B8%89%E5%88%86%E9%90%98%E8%AA%8D%E8%AD%98%E3%80%8C%E7%B4%A0%E9%A4%8A%E3%80%8D%E5%AD%B8%E7%BF%92-8c8410209be1)]. These competencies encompass a wide range of skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. By focusing on these essential skills, the curriculum aims to equip students with the abilities necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving society.\n\nMoreover, the 108 Curriculum introduces a more student-centered and inquiry-based learning approach [[6](https://www.cw.com.tw/article/5097562)]. Unlike the traditional \"factory-like\" education system, which often prioritizes exam-oriented teaching methods, the new curriculum encourages students to explore their interests, think critically, and engage actively in the learning process. This shift towards personalized learning experiences aims to motivate students and nurture their intrinsic curiosity.\n\nIn line with the 108 Curriculum's student-centric approach, there is a notable integration of vocational skills and local industry elements in technical high schools (high schools) [[8](https://flipedu.parenting.com.tw/article/005420)]. This integration allows students to not only acquire technical skills but also engage in interdisciplinary learning, preparing them for a more diverse and dynamic future workforce. By bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical skills, the curriculum aims to better align education with industry demands.\n\nFurthermore, the 108 Curriculum aims to address the longstanding issue of exam-oriented education in Taiwan [[5](https://vip.udn.com/newmedia/2022/12-years-education/problem/)]. By redefining the relationship between exams, enrollment systems, and the curriculum's principles, the curriculum seeks to create a more holistic and balanced educational environment. This shift is particularly crucial as it directly impacts how students are assessed and evaluated, moving away from a purely test-driven approach.\n\nThe transition to the 108 Curriculum also brings about changes in the university entrance examination system [[2](https://blog.hamibook.com.tw/%E6%96%B0%E8%81%9E%E6%99%82%E4%BA%8B/%E5%8D%87%E5%AD%B8%E5%88%B6%E5%BA%A6%E5%8F%88%E6%94%B9%E4%BA%86%EF%BC%81%E4%B8%80%E6%AC%A1%E7%9C%8B%E6%87%82%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%B8%E8%80%83%E6%8B%9B%E3%80%81108%E8%AA%B2%E7%B6%B1/?p=8624)]. With the new curriculum in place, the university admissions process is set to undergo significant changes to align with the updated educational standards. These changes aim to ensure that students are evaluated based on a broader set of competencies beyond traditional academic achievements.\n\nIn addition to reshaping the university admissions process, the 108 Curriculum also highlights the importance of aligning the teaching and assessment practices with the core principles of the curriculum [[3](https://feature.parenting.com.tw/static/oprojects/issue/)]. This shift requires educators and parents to understand and adapt to the new educational framework to support students effectively. By fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment, the curriculum aims to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.\n\nThe implementation of the 108 Curriculum signifies a significant departure from the traditional exam-oriented education system in Taiwan, emphasizing the development of essential skills and competencies among students [[7](https://dacota.tw/blog/post/%E3%80%90108%E8%AA%B2%E7%B6%B1%E3%80%91%E6%98%AF%E4%BB%80%E9%BA%BC-%E6%87%B6%E4%BA%BA%E5%8C%85%E6%95%B4%E7%90%86%E7%B5%A6%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E7%88%B8%E5%AA%BD%E7%9C%8B)]. By focusing on holistic development and personalized learning experiences, the curriculum aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.\n\nFurthermore, the 108 Curriculum's emphasis on competency-based education is reflected in its efforts to promote a more inclusive and equitable learning environment [[9](https://www.bnext.com.tw/article/64861/tw-hs-student-eud-guide-goes-to)]. By providing students with opportunities for exploration, critical thinking, and practical application of knowledge, the curriculum seeks to address the diverse needs and abilities of learners. This approach aims to reduce educational disparities and enhance educational outcomes for all students.\n\nAs the 108 Curriculum continues to shape the educational landscape in Taiwan, it is essential for stakeholders, including educators, parents, and policymakers, to collaborate and support the successful implementation of the new educational framework [[10](https://www.myfutureclass.com/exam-free-admission)]. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, stakeholders can ensure that the curriculum's objectives are effectively realized, ultimately benefiting the future generations of students in Taiwan.\n\nIn conclusion, the Taiwan 108 Curriculum represents a paradigm shift in the country's educational system, emphasizing competency-based learning, student-centered approaches, and holistic skill development [[1](https://www.parenting.com.tw/article/5078799)]. By redefining the goals and practices of education, the curriculum aims to equip students with the essential skills, competencies, and knowledge needed to thrive in the 21st century.

However, ensuring the effective implementation of this integration and balancing it with academic rigor remains a challenge for educators and institutions.\n\nThe 108 Curriculum's push towards reducing exam-oriented education and fostering a more holistic learning environment has been met with both support and skepticism [[7](https://dacota.tw/blog/post/%E3%80%90108%E8%AA%B2%E7%B6%B1%E3%80%91%E6%98%AF%E4%BB%80%E9%BA%BC-%E6%87%B6%E4%BA%BA%E5%8C%85%E6%95%B4%E7%90%86%E7%B5%A6%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E7%88%B8%E5%AA%BD%E7%9C%8B)]. While many recognize the importance of moving away from rote memorization and exam-centric teaching, concerns remain about how the curriculum's principles will be effectively translated into classroom practices and assessment methods.\n\nThe 108 Curriculum's impact on high school students facing the challenges of the evolving educational landscape has been notable, with an increased emphasis on practical skills, critical thinking, and self-exploration [[9](https://www.bnext.com.tw/article/64861/tw-hs-student-eud-guide-goes-to)]. Despite the continued academic pressures, students have reported benefiting from the curriculum's focus on experiential learning and skill development, preparing them for a more dynamic and competitive future.\n\nAs the 108 Curriculum unfolds, it is essential for educational stakeholders to collaborate and provide support to ensure the successful implementation and adaptation to the new educational framework [[10](https://www.myfutureclass.com/exam-free-admission)].

The Dataset for Emotions of Narrative Sequences (DENS) was collected from both classic literature available on Project Gutenberg and modern online narratives available on Wattpad, annotated using Amazon Mechanical Turk. A number of statistics and baseline benchmarks are provided for the dataset. Of the tested techniques, we find that the fine-tuning of a pre-trained BERT model achieves the best results, with an average micro-F1 score of 60.4%. Our results show that the dataset provides a novel opportunity in emotion analysis that requires moving beyond existing sentence-level techniques.\n\nIntroduction\nHumans experience a variety of complex emotions in daily life. These emotions are heavily reflected in our language, in both spoken and written forms.\nMany recent advances in natural language processing on emotions have focused on product reviews BIBREF0 and tweets BIBREF1, BIBREF2. These datasets are often limited in length (e.g. by the number of words in tweets), purpose (e.g. product reviews), or emotional spectrum (e.g. binary classification).\nCharacter dialogues and narratives in storytelling usually carry strong emotions. A memorable story is often one in which the emotional journey of the characters resonates with the reader. Indeed, emotion is one of the most important aspects of narratives. In order to characterize narrative emotions properly, we must move beyond binary constraints (e.g. good or bad, happy or sad).\nIn this paper, we introduce the Dataset for Emotions of Narrative Sequences (DENS) for emotion analysis, consisting of passages from long-form fictional narratives from both classic literature and modern stories in English. The data samples consist of self-contained passages that span several sentences and a variety of subjects. Each sample is annotated by using one of 9 classes and an indicator for annotator agreement.\n\nBackground\nUsing the categorical basic emotion model BIBREF3, BIBREF4, BIBREF5 studied creating lexicons from tweets for use in emotion analysis. Recently, BIBREF1, BIBREF6 and BIBREF2 proposed shared-tasks for multi-class emotion analysis based on tweets.\nFewer works have been reported on understanding emotions in narratives. Emotional Arc BIBREF7 is one recent advance in this direction. The work used lexicons and unsupervised learning methods based on unlabelled passages from titles in Project Gutenberg.\nFor labelled datasets on narratives, BIBREF8 provided a sentence-level annotated corpus of childrens' stories and BIBREF9 provided phrase-level annotations on selected Project Gutenberg titles.\nTo the best of our knowledge, the dataset in this work is the first to provide multi-class emotion labels on passages, selected from both Project Gutenberg and modern narratives. The dataset is available upon request for non-commercial, research only purposes.\n\nDataset\nIn this section, we describe the process used to collect and annotate the dataset.\n\nDataset ::: Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions\nThe dataset is annotated based on a modified Plutchik’s wheel of emotions.\nThe original Plutchik’s wheel consists of 8 primary emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Anticipation, Surprise, Trust, Disgust. In addition, more complex emotions can be formed by combing two basic emotions. For example, Love is defined as a combination of Joy and Trust (Fig. 1).\nThe intensity of an emotion is also captured in Plutchik's wheel. For example, the primary emotion of Anger can vary between Annoyance (mild) and Rage (intense).\nWe conducted an initial survey based on 100 stories with a significant fraction sampled from the romance genre. We asked readers to identify the major emotion exhibited in each story from a choice of the original 8 primary emotions.\nWe found that readers have significant difficulty in identifying Trust as an emotion associated with romantic stories. Hence, we modified our annotation scheme by removing Trust and adding Love. We also added the Neutral category to denote passages that do not exhibit any emotional content.\nThe final annotation categories for the dataset are: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Anticipation, Surprise, Love, Disgust, Neutral.\n\nDataset ::: Passage Selection\nWe selected both classic and modern narratives in English for this dataset. The modern narratives were sampled based on popularity from Wattpad. We parsed selected narratives into passages, where a passage is considered to be eligible for annotation if it contained between 40 and 200 tokens.\nIn long-form narratives, many non-conversational passages are intended for transition or scene introduction, and may not carry any emotion. We divided the eligible passages into two parts, and one part was pruned using selected emotion-rich but ambiguous lexicons such as cry, punch, kiss, etc.. Then we mixed this pruned part with the unpruned part for annotation in order to reduce the number of neutral passages. See Appendix SECREF25 for the lexicons used.\n\nDataset ::: Mechanical Turk (MTurk)\nMTurk was set up using the standard sentiment template and instructed the crowd annotators to `pick the best/major emotion embodied in the passage'.\nWe further provided instructions to clarify the intensity of an emotion, such as: “Rage/Annoyance is a form of Anger”, “Serenity/Ecstasy is a form of Joy”, and “Love includes Romantic/Family/Friendship”, along with sample passages.\nWe required all annotators have a `master' MTurk qualification. Each passage was labelled by 3 unique annotators. Only passages with a majority agreement between annotators were accepted as valid. This is equivalent to a Fleiss's $\\kappa $ score of greater than $0.4$.\nFor passages without majority agreement between annotators, we consolidated their labels using in-house data annotators who are experts in narrative content. A passage is accepted as valid if the in-house annotator's label matched any one of the MTurk annotators' labels. The remaining passages are discarded. We provide the fraction of annotator agreement for each label in the dataset.\nThough passages may lose some emotional context when read independently of the complete narrative, we believe annotator agreement on our dataset supports the assertion that small excerpts can still convey coherent emotions.\nDuring the annotation process, several annotators had suggested for us to include additional emotions such as confused, pain, and jealousy, which are common to narratives. As they were not part of the original Plutchik’s wheel, we decided to not include them. An interesting future direction is to study the relationship between emotions such as ‘pain versus sadness’ or ‘confused versus surprise’ and improve the emotion model for narratives.\n\nDataset ::: Dataset Statistics\nThe dataset contains a total of 9710 passages, with an average of 6.24 sentences per passage, 16.16 words per sentence, and an average length of 86 words.\nThe vocabulary size is 28K (when lowercased). It contains over 1600 unique titles across multiple categories, including 88 titles (1520 passages) from Project Gutenberg. All of the modern narratives were written after the year 2000, with notable amount of themes in coming-of-age, strong-female-lead, and LGBTQ+. The genre distribution is listed in Table TABREF8.\nIn the final dataset, 21.0% of the data has consensus between all annotators, 73.5% has majority agreement, and 5.48% has labels assigned after consultation with in-house annotators.\nThe distribution of data points over labels with top lexicons (lower-cased, normalized) is shown in Table TABREF9. Note that the Disgust category is very small and should be discarded. Furthermore, we suspect that the data labelled as Surprise may be noisier than other categories and should be discarded as well.\nTable TABREF10 shows a few examples labelled data from classic titles. More examples can be found in Table TABREF26 in the Appendix SECREF27.\n\nBenchmarks\nWe performed benchmark experiments on the dataset using several different algorithms. In all experiments, we have discarded the data labelled with Surprise and Disgust.\nWe pre-processed the data by using the SpaCy pipeline. We masked out named entities with entity-type specific placeholders to reduce the chance of benchmark models utilizing named entities as a basis for classification.\nBenchmark results are shown in Table TABREF17. The dataset is approximately balanced after discarding the Surprise and Disgust classes. We report the average micro-F1 scores, with 5-fold cross validation for each technique.\nWe provide a brief overview of each benchmark experiment below. Among all of the benchmarks, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) BIBREF11 achieved the best performance with a 0.604 micro-F1 score.\nOverall, we observed that deep-learning based techniques performed better than lexical based methods. This suggests that a method which attends to context and themes could do well on the dataset.\n\nBenchmarks ::: Bag-of-Words-based Benchmarks\nWe computed bag-of-words-based benchmarks using the following methods:\nClassification with TF-IDF + Linear SVM (TF-IDF + SVM)\nClassification with Depeche++ Emotion lexicons BIBREF12 + Linear SVM (Depeche + SVM)\nClassification with NRC Emotion lexicons BIBREF13, BIBREF14 + Linear SVM (NRC + SVM)\nCombination of TF-IDF and NRC Emotion lexicons (TF-NRC + SVM)\n\nBenchmarks ::: Doc2Vec + SVM\nWe also used simple classification models with learned embeddings. We trained a Doc2Vec model BIBREF15 using the dataset and used the embedding document vectors as features for a linear SVM classifier.\n\nBenchmarks ::: Hierarchical RNN\nFor this benchmark, we considered a Hierarchical RNN, following BIBREF16. We used two BiLSTMs BIBREF17 with 256 units each to model sentences and documents. The tokens of a sentence were processed independently of other sentence tokens. For each direction in the token-level BiLSTM, the last outputs were concatenated and fed into the sentence-level BiLSTM as inputs.\nThe outputs of the BiLSTM were connected to 2 dense layers with 256 ReLU units and a Softmax layer. We initialized tokens with publicly available embeddings trained with GloVe BIBREF18. Sentence boundaries were provided by SpaCy. Dropout was applied to the dense hidden layers during training.\n\nBenchmarks ::: Bi-directional RNN and Self-Attention (BiRNN + Self-Attention)\nOne challenge with RNN-based solutions for text classification is finding the best way to combine word-level representations into higher-level representations.\nSelf-attention BIBREF19, BIBREF20, BIBREF21 has been adapted to text classification, providing improved interpretability and performance. We used BIBREF20 as the basis of this benchmark.\nThe benchmark used a layered Bi-directional RNN (60 units) with GRU cells and a dense layer. Both self-attention layers were 60 units in size and cross-entropy was used as the cost function.\nNote that we have omitted the orthogonal regularizer term, since this dataset is relatively small compared to the traditional datasets used for training such a model. We did not observe any significant performance gain while using the regularizer term in our experiments.\n\nBenchmarks ::: ELMo embedding and Bi-directional RNN (ELMo + BiRNN)\nDeep Contextualized Word Representations (ELMo) BIBREF22 have shown recent success in a number of NLP tasks. The unsupervised nature of the language model allows it to utilize a large amount of available unlabelled data in order to learn better representations of words.\nWe used the pre-trained ELMo model (v2) available on Tensorhub for this benchmark. We fed the word embeddings of ELMo as input into a one layer Bi-directional RNN (16 units) with GRU cells (with dropout) and a dense layer. Cross-entropy was used as the cost function.\n\nBenchmarks ::: Fine-tuned BERT\nBidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) BIBREF11 has achieved state-of-the-art results on several NLP tasks, including sentence classification.\nWe used the fine-tuning procedure outlined in the original work to adapt the pre-trained uncased BERT$_\\textrm {{\\scriptsize LARGE}}$ to a multi-class passage classification task. This technique achieved the best result among our benchmarks, with an average micro-F1 score of 60.4%.\n\nConclusion\nWe introduce DENS, a dataset for multi-class emotion analysis from long-form narratives in English. We provide a number of benchmark results based on models ranging from bag-of-word models to methods based on pre-trained language models (ELMo and BERT).\nOur benchmark results demonstrate that this dataset provides a novel challenge in emotion analysis. The results also demonstrate that attention-based models could significantly improve performance on classification tasks such as emotion analysis.\nInteresting future directions for this work include: 1. incorporating common-sense knowledge into emotion analysis to capture semantic context and 2. using few-shot learning to bootstrap and improve performance of underrepresented emotions.\nFinally, as narrative passages often involve interactions between multiple emotions, one avenue for future datasets could be to focus on the multi-emotion complexities of human language and their contextual interactions.\n\nAppendices ::: Sample Data\nTable TABREF26 shows sample passages from classic titles with corresponding labels.\n\nFigure 1: Plutchik’s wheel of emotions (Wikimedia, 2011)\n\nTable 1: Genre distribution of the modern narratives\n\nTable 4: Benchmark results (averaged 5-fold cross validation)\n\nTable 2: Dataset label distribution\n\nQuestion: How many annotators were there?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"answer\": [\"3\"],\n \"evidence\": [\"Each passage was labelled by 3 unique annotators.\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "[request] Can you provide information on how the annotators were selected for labeling the dataset passages in the study?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"answer\": [\"Annotators were required to have a 'master' MTurk qualification.\"],\n \"evidence\": [\"We required all annotators have a 'master' MTurk qualification.\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "[request] Can you provide details on the process used to evaluate the dataset's annotation quality and ensure consistency among the annotators?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"answer\": [\"Annotators were selected based on having a 'master' MTurk qualification.\", \"Consistency was ensured by requiring majority agreement between annotators or in-house annotator consultation.\"],\n \"evidence\": [\"We required all annotators have a 'master' MTurk qualification.\", \"Only passages with a majority agreement between annotators were accepted as valid.

You decide to present them with a challenge that combines data science, probability, and graph theory.\n\nConsider a random graph \\( G(n, p) \\), which represents a network of \\( n \\) students connected with each other with a probability \\( p \\). You want your students to analyze this graph to understand complex network structures and their properties.\n\n1. Derive an expression for the expected number of triangles in the graph \\( G(n, p) \\). A triangle is a set of three vertices that are mutually connected by edges. Discuss how this expected number changes as \\( n \\) approaches infinity with \\( p = \\frac{c}{n} \\), where \\( c \\) is a constant.\n\n2. Assume now that each edge in the graph has a weight assigned to it, drawn independently from an exponential distribution with parameter \\(\\lambda\\). Define the \"minimum spanning tree\" (MST) weight of the graph as the sum of the weights of the edges in the MST.

Since a triangle involves three vertices mutually connected, the expected number of triangles in the entire graph is approximately \\( \\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6} p^3 \\).\n\nAs \\( n \\) approaches infinity with \\( p = \\frac{c}{n} \\), the expected number of triangles can be simplified to \\( \\frac{c^3}{6} \\), showing that the number of triangles becomes constant with respect to \\( n \\).\n\nMoving on to the minimum spanning tree (MST) weight, under the condition \\( p = \\frac{1}{2} \\) and \\( \\lambda = 1 \\), the expected weight of the MST in \\( G(n, p) \\) can be derived using the properties of exponential distribution and Prim's algorithm.

[ { "content": "Hi! Now I will describe to you my sketch of the structure of the world through a fictional legend of representatives of this world. The legend is called MHIWYA. After the legend, I will ask you a few questions about how to complement it and the world of people who could invent it.\n\nThe text of the legend MHIWYA: Once The Supreme-God-Demiurge created the world — the World-of-the-Children-of-God — from several dimensions, and each of the dimensions was inhabited by The Children of God. Nature, weather and conditions on the planet are similar to those on Earth (so far, I think so)\n\nA full-fledged connection between dimensions would be impossible if there were not two ways to implement it:\n\nWay 1: Carriers. A social class of The Children of God who can take the forms of birds and have the ability to Transcale: instant adaptation to any dimension in which the Carrier may be. Carriers are able to give this ability to their passengers at the time of joint travel.\n\nWay 2: Engineers' Devices. Engineers are another social class of The Children of God, capable of producing special electronic devices that allow simulating the external senses of representatives of different dimensions, so that the connection between them, even at a distance in time and space, is fast and complete in terms of the coincidence of the organs of perception of all participants in the act of communication.\n\nOne of the Carriers was the eagle Altair: a storyteller whose voice and stories fascinated. He had a special instrument, let's temporarily call it the Altair Lyre, a six-stringed elegant lyre with a body resembling a swirling sea wave. At night, retreating into the rocks, Altair took on a form that allowed him to play an instrument. During the day, being a Carrier, Altair did not accompany his voice in any way, and his sweet speech was everything that should have delighted enthusiastic passengers.\n\nOne day, a young Daughter of God Vega came to the Carrier and asked to take her several dimensions ahead. She had never felt those places before, and she wanted to find out how it was possible to learn with the help of a completely different understanding of the world, as she thought, more complete and unusual.\n\nVega and Altair started talking. They were concerned that since the time when their world was created (the faith of The Children of God in The Supreme-God-Demiurge was unshakable and there were several artifacts confirming its existence), no one talks about whether other worlds similar to theirs were created. And is it possible for simple Child of God to become like The Supreme-God-Demiurge? Can Vega or Altair achieve such perfection in their art that they can create worlds themselves? Once Altair heard from one of the passengers that it was possible to combine the attributes of several social classes so that the result would be “something inexpressible\". For example, an element for a combination could be Altair's Lyre or his fairy tales. And Vega's…\n\nVega continued the craft of the Weavers' class: The Weavers planned the trajectories of the Carriers. One of her tools were Needles — they marked points in the multidimensional space of their world that Carriers had to pass through to activate their abilities and reach the right tools. Accordingly, the attributes of Vega for the necessary combination that could lead to the creation of a new world could be Needles.\n\nAltair and Vega spent a lot of time together: Vega often traveled, and Altair seemed to inevitably, by fate itself, find himself on her way. Vega listened attentively to all his fairy tales and once admitted that she would like to hear them at night: at a time when Altair was changing his external form and playing the Lyre. Altair agreed, and from then on, once every few weeks or months, they spent a Night of Songs together. Vega brought Needles to these meetings and, instead of plotting the trajectories of future interdimensional movements with them, she clung to Altair's words, the overtones of his voice, and connected them to the place where they were. Now, with the help of Needles, pebbles, leaves of rare shrubs, sand and even fog seemed to enter into a dialogue with Altair. Vega felt almost like an Engineer: what if she and Altair could create a new world? It seems that they already have almost everything for this…\n\nOne day Altair received a special task and realized that he had to leave the dimension where Vega lived for a long time. They met again at the moment when Vega decided to go on one of her interdimensional journeys, and Altair told her the sad news: “Perhaps we will never feel each other with you again, only if the Engineers don't come to the rescue ... but now I can't tell you where to look for me, and how to contact me.” Vega was stunned, but tried to restrain herself. At parting, Altair presented her with a great gift: “without you, I don't see the point of singing. Take this Lyre and, if destined, create a new world alone.”\n\nVega accepted Altair's Lyre as a gift. She saw Altair off and returned home, looking at the Needles with hatred: “Am I really going to be forced to help lay routes for the rest of my days, on which we will never cross again?”\n\nVega plunged into the study of the art of pairing attributes — alchemy. In the end, she succeeded: by putting together the music of Altair's Lyre, Altair's songs, which Vega performed herself from now on, and what she turned into Needles, turning to Engineers for help — a toy car for transporting passengers moving along the rails (The Train) — Vega got a completely new living space. The movement of the Train for transportation, which Vega named after her attributes — the Needle, under her songs, created a special field around itself, which turned into the atmosphere of a new small planet — MHIWYA (it was in honor of her that I gave the name to the whole legend). on this planet, as Vega learns later, the seed of future life was also born.\n\nThe first people who appeared on MHIWYA were called Nomads or Voices, which is a more general term. Each of Nomads had a voice of fabulous beauty and depth, the ranges of which coincided with the ranges of the six strings of the Altair Lyre. From now on, the tales and songs of the Nomads will maintain the state of MHIWYA from the inside, while Vega continues her Eternal Divine Song of abandonment and loneliness from the outside. The nomads founded the City, and everyone they spawned became Citizens. Also, every Citizen was a Voice along the branch of the Nomad he was born with.\n\nMHIWYA, as well as the World-of-the-Children-of-God, turned out to be multidimensional, but now communication between residents of different dimensions was carried out with the help of an Needle Train, transporting people to each other along looped rails that permeate the entire new planet. Tiny villages formed around the rails at special points where the Train moved from one dimension to another. The villages were inhabited by Fishermen — those who, at the right moment, turned the arrows on the rails and ensured the correct transition of the Train from dimension to dimension.\n\nThe Needle rails were unstable: since the Train moves forever, the rails are constantly being rebuilt, but the path along them remains looped. Necessarily on its way, the Needle falls into many Points where space allows you to move from one dimension to another.\n\nThis is the end of the MHIWYA legend.

Constant monitoring and recalibration are necessary to address this issue.\n\n3. **Non-Uniform Sensitivity:** Instruments may exhibit non-uniform sensitivity across their field of view, leading to systematic errors in measurements that need to be corrected through calibration procedures.\n\n4. **Atmospheric Effects:** For ground-based observations, atmospheric conditions can introduce distortions in the data due to factors like turbulence or light pollution, requiring sophisticated correction methods.\n\n5. **Point Spread Function:** Understanding and correcting for the point spread function of the instrument is crucial for accurately determining the positions and properties of celestial objects in the observations.\n\n6. **Temporal Variations:** Changes in the observational conditions over time, such as temperature fluctuations or aging components, can introduce systematic errors that need to be accounted for during calibration.\n\n7. **Cosmic Rays and Particles:** High-energy particles, such as cosmic rays, can interact with detectors and produce spurious signals that may be mistaken for astronomical data, requiring careful calibration to differentiate them.\n\nAddressing these challenges demands meticulous calibration processes, advanced data analysis techniques, and continuous monitoring to ensure the accuracy and reliability of observational data in cosmological studies.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "How do astronomers account for uncertainties in cosmological parameter measurements when conducting statistical analyses to compare observational data with theoretical models in the study of dark energy dynamics and the universe's expansion?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Accounting for uncertainties in cosmological parameter measurements is crucial for conducting accurate statistical analyses when comparing observational data with theoretical models in the study of dark energy dynamics and the universe's expansion. Astronomers employ the following strategies to address uncertainties:\n\n1. **Error Propagation:** Propagating uncertainties through calculations ensures that the uncertainties in the input parameters are appropriately reflected in the final results, providing a more realistic assessment of the model's compatibility with the data.\n\n2. **Monte Carlo Simulations:** Monte Carlo methods are used to simulate data points based on the uncertainties in the measurements. By generating a large number of simulated datasets, astronomers can assess the range of possible outcomes and evaluate the robustness of the model predictions.\n\n3. **Parameter Estimation Techniques:** Bayesian analysis and maximum likelihood estimation are employed to estimate cosmological parameters while considering uncertainties. These techniques provide a statistical framework for incorporating prior knowledge and quantifying the uncertainties in the parameter values.\n\n4. **Confidence Intervals:** Calculating confidence intervals around the estimated parameter values helps astronomers determine the range within which the true values are likely to lie, accounting for uncertainties in the measurements.\n\n5. **Model Comparison Tests:** Statistical tests, such as the chi-squared test mentioned earlier, are utilized to compare the observational data with model predictions while considering uncertainties.

This helps mitigate biases that could arise from non-random selection processes.\n\n2. **Controlled Experiments:** In cases where controlled experiments are feasible, astronomers design studies to minimize biases by controlling external factors that could influence the selection of data points.\n\n3. **Bias Correction:** Statistical methods, such as weighting techniques, are used to correct for known biases in the data selection process. By assigning appropriate weights to data points, astronomers can account for biases and obtain more accurate results.\n\n4. **Cross-Validation:** Astronomers validate their findings using independent datasets or different observational methods to confirm the consistency of results and identify any biases that may be present in the original data.\n\n5. **Transparency and Documentation:** Maintaining transparency in data collection and analysis processes, as well as documenting potential biases and their mitigation strategies, helps ensure the reproducibility of results and allows for critical evaluation by the scientific community.\n\nBy implementing these strategies, astronomers can minimize the impact of selection biases in their analyses and enhance the validity of conclusions drawn from observational data in cosmological studies related to dark energy dynamics and the universe's expansion.", "role": "assistant" } ]
