The Early Quaternary Marine to Terrestrial Transition of the Southeastern Wairarapa, New Zealand

<p>This study examines the final emergence of the southeastern Wairarapa within a sequence stratigraphic framework. New exposures of the Pleistocene marginalmarine Hautotara Formation, and non-marine Te Muna Formation allow facies to be detailed and sequence architecture to be analysed. Cyclicity observed within the facies successions of the Hautotara and Te Muna formations are placed in a series of four motifs. These motifs record 40 kyr glacioeustatic cyclicity superimposed upon the basinward to landward progression of the environments, showing the region shallowing through time. The positions of the top of the Pukenui Limestone and the base of the Hautotara Formation are revised, and are now at the top of the “Pukenui C” - a widespread marker bed, which also removes a historical nomenclatural gap. The recognition of the significance of the coccolith Gephyrocapsa sinuosa within the underlying Pukenui Limestone allows this contact to be dated at 1.73 Ma. The ~1.6 Ma age limit provided by a number of tephra within the lower sediments of the Te Muna Formation allow the ages of the examined formations to be constrained further. The eight 40 ka cycles identified within the Hautotara Formation suggests deposition between 1.73 and 1.42 Ma. The Hautotara - Te Muna Formation is revealed to be diachronous, with the base of the Te Muna Formation type section shown to be much younger, 1.12 Ma, than the 1.58 Ma age of the lower contact observed elsewhere in the region. A series of palaeogeographic reconstructions at 1.73, 1.58 and 1.57 Ma demonstrate how closely related sedimentation patterns are to structural growth, with marginal-marine Hautotara Formation sedimentation persisting in the centre of the study area well after the initiation of Te Muna Formation terrestrial deposition to the north and south of this site.</p>

Automatic summary of texts in Polish

The automatic text summarizing task is one of the most complex problems in the field of natural language processing. In this dissertation, we present the abstraction-based summarization approach which allows to paraphrase the original text and generate new sentences. Creation of new formulations, completely different from the original text is similar to how humans summarize texts. To achieve this, we propose the deep learning method using Sequence to Sequence architecture with the attention mechanism. The goal is to create the model for Polish language, using dataset containing over 200,000 articles from Polish websites, split into text and summary parts. Presented outcomes look promising, obtaining decent results utilizing standard metrics for such type of task.Based on review of prior research done during experiments, this is the very first attempt of applying abstractive text summarization techniques for Polish language.
