Inversion in english
Subject-verb inversion in English involves switching the canonical order of the subject and verb. There are four main types of subject-verb inversion: locative inversion, which places the subject after a prepositional phrase indicating location; directive inversion, which occurs after verbs of movement with the subject following a prepositional phrase; copular inversion, which switches the positions of the subject and predicative nominal when the verb is a form of 'be'; and quotative inversion, which places reported speech before the subject and verb when quoting someone.
subject-verb agreement
This document discusses subject-verb agreement and active and passive voice.
It defines subjects and verbs, and provides the basic rules for subject-verb agreement in English. Singular subjects take singular verbs while plural subjects take plural verbs. It also lists exceptions like collective nouns, titles, and indefinite pronouns that can be either singular or plural.
The document also explains active and passive voice. The active voice has the subject performing the action, while the passive voice has the object of the action as the subject. It provides examples and discusses when to use each voice - active voice is more direct while passive voice de-emphasizes the actor. The rules for converting between active and passive voice are also outlined
Activeandpassivevoice
The document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in writing. It defines voice as a verb characteristic indicating the relationship between the verb's action and subject. Active voice uses verbs where the subject performs the action, like "Cindy steered the boat." Passive voice uses verbs where the subject receives the action, like "The mountain's peak was reached by Ed Danvers." While both are grammatically correct, active voice is usually clearer and more direct for academic and business writing, except when the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant. Examples are provided to illustrate the differences.
Active and passive dc75
Here are the answers in passive voice:
1. These bottles cannot be opened easily by children.
2. A road was built right outside her front door by the government.
3. The antique vase was broken by Mr. Ross as he walked through the store.
4. When she arrived, she was amazed by the changes.
5. Street repairs are being made all month long by the construction workers.
The Structure of Passive Voice
Use of Passive
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

Verbs
Verbs show action or state of being and are essential parts of sentences. There are different types of verbs including intransitive verbs that are not followed by nouns, linking verbs that link subjects to adjectives or nouns, transitive verbs that are followed by direct objects, and two-place transitive verbs like "give" and "consider" that are followed by two nouns or a noun and another element. To-be verbs like "be", "is", and "was" link subjects to predicates. Verbs can also be active, showing the subject performing the action, or passive, showing the action being performed on the subject.
Ideas and Storytelling
Nancy Duarte analyzed the speech patterns of famous historic figures and found they followed a common pattern of alternating between "what is" and "what could be". This pattern resonates physically with audiences by triggering reactions like smiling and increased heart rate. Famous speeches like Steve Jobs' iPhone launch, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream", and Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount effectively used this pattern of contrasting the current reality with a brighter future possibility. Duarte also noted Eastern storytelling tends to focus more on the past rather than a future vision. Crafting an idea by poetically visualizing an inspiring future vision can attract people and help spread new ideas.

activeand passivevoice
This document discusses the active and passive voice in writing. It defines voice as the form a verb takes to indicate whether the subject performs or receives the action. The active voice has the subject performing the action, while the passive voice has the subject receiving the action. In general, the active voice is preferred as it is more direct and forceful. However, the passive voice can be used when the performer of the action is unknown or unimportant, or when the receiver of the action should be emphasized. The document provides examples of active and passive sentences and explains how to identify and transform between the two voices.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

- 1. Active and Passive Voice UWF Writing Lab Grammar Mini-Lesson’s Series #2
- 2. Defining “Voice” • “Voice” is a characteristic of verbs which indicates the relation of the verb’s action to its subject. • The voice of a verb may be either “active” or “passive.”
- 3. Active Voice • Active voice verbs are used when the subject is acting in a sentence. • Example: – Cindy steered the boat. • “Steered” is an active verb because it allows the subject to undertake an action.
- 4. Passive Voice • “Passive voice” verbs are used when the subject is being acted upon in a sentence. • Example: – The mountain’s peak was reached by Ed Danvers. • “Was reached” are considered passive because they indicate that the subject (peak) is receiving an action.
- 5. So What? • Although both constructions are grammatically correct, the active voice is usually more effective in academic and business writing because it is simpler and more direct. The passive construction is effective only when the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant. Examples – The cruiseliner was hijacked. – The ball was hit. – The town was quarantined.
- 6. Review • Active voice verbs: Verbs that indicate the sentence’s subject as actively acting: – Marvin hit the ball. • Passive voice verbs: Verbs that indicated the sentence’s subject as being acted upon: – The ball was hit by Marvin
- 8. Quiz Decide which of the following sentences use the passive voice and which sentences use the active voice. Correct the sentences that contain either inappropriate uses of passive voice or an abrupt shift from active to passive voice. Example: -Before I began my research, only German fascism was studied by me. Passive construction -Before I began my research, I only studied German fascism.
- 9. Professor Warren assigned each group a research project; however, the documentary sources were not located. Incorrect Active-Passive Shift Professor Warren assigned each group a research project; however, he could not locate the documentary sources.
- 10. For the opening flag ceremony, a dance was choreographed by Kema Jones to Bill Withers’ song “Lean on Me.” Passive Construction For the opening flag ceremony, Kema Jones choreographed a dance to Bill Withers’ song “Lean on Me.”
- 11. When the tickets are ready, the travel agent notifies the client. Each ticket is then listed on a daily register form, and a copy of the itinerary is filed. Incorrect Active-Passive Shift When the tickets are ready, the travel agent notifies the client. The agent then lists the ticket on a daily register form and files a copy of the itinerary.
- 12. Seismologists have examined data concerning the recent earthquake, and reports will be filed. Incorrect Active-Passive Shift Seismologists have examined data concerning the recent earthquake, and they will file reports.
- 13. Problems of famine, pollution, dwindling resources, and arms control were discussed by the senator. - Passive construction The senator discussed problems of famine, pollution, dwindling resources, and arms control.
- 14. • Whenever an error was found by Mrs. Clark, the entire paper had to be rewritten by the student. Passive Construction Whenever an error was found by Mrs. Clark, the student had to rewrite the entire paper.
