The first was at San Marcello al Corso in central Rome, and the second at Santuario di Santa Maria della Quercia in nearby Viterbo. As well as sightseeing trips around ancient Rome, the musicians sang the Sunday midday Mass at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. The Monteverdi was then repeated at St Alfege, Greenwich in November. The Christmas Concert included many seasonal favourites: excerpts from Delibes’ Coppélia Suite and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, some John Rutter and, on a snowy Sunday, Irving Berlin’s ‘White Christmas’.

    World Dementia Leading the Global Action Council Against Dementia Global dialogue on care: Agenda and participants The dementia landscape project 5 February 2021 Organized in partnership with Welcome We are delighted you are able to join us at the virtual World Dementia Council care workshop on 5 February 2021. The world’s first G8 dementia summit was held in 2013 in London, where the international community of top scientists in the field, advocates, industry, researchers of, and providers in, the care sector, and governments committed to improve the lives of people with dementia through research and the develop of treatments, better care, increasing awareness and promoting risk reduction. According to the World Health Organization, around 50 million people have dementia worldwide and the global societal cost of dementia was estimated to be approaching $1 billion. Everyone today living with dementia does need, or will need as their dementia develops, access to care and support. And much of the cost of dementia is the direct and indirect costs associated with care. We hope this decade brings disease modifying treatments that slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and other form of dementia. The first treatments are, perhaps, tantalisingly close. But even when we have the first treatments people with dementia will continue to need care and support until, in the years ahead, until we have disease modifying treatments that can effectively stop the develop of the disease. It is not just that today there are millions of people needing care; until we defeat dementia, in the years ahead there will be millions more.

  • Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs
    Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2Seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs Angela Fan Claire Gardent Chloe´ Braud Antoine Bordes FAIR / LORIA CNRS / LORIA CNRS / LORIA FAIR angelafan,[email protected] claire.gardent,[email protected] Abstract Query-based open-domain NLP tasks require information synthesis from long and diverse web results. Current approaches extrac- tively select portions of web text as input to Sequence-to-Sequence models using meth- ods such as TF-IDF ranking. We propose constructing a local graph structured knowl- edge base for each query, which compresses the web search information and reduces re- dundancy. We show that by linearizing the graph into a structured input sequence, models can encode the graph representations within a standard Sequence-to-Sequence setting. For two generative tasks with very long text in- put, long-form question answering and multi- document summarization, feeding graph rep- resentations as input can achieve better perfor- mance than using retrieved text portions. 1 Introduction Effective information synthesis is at the core of many Natural Language Processing applica- Figure 1: Multi-Document Input to Linearized Graph tions, such as open-domain question answering Multi-document input resulting from web search queries are converted to a graph structured knowledge base using coref- and multi-document summarization.
