GIZA 11 AND GIZA 12; TWO NEW FLAX DUAL PURPOSE TYPE VARIETIES

Epigraphic Survey Giza

Since 1988 we have been excavating at Giza, 350 m south of the Great Sphinx and south of the gigantic stone Heit el-Ghurob ("Wall of the Crow"). The concession, 650 m north-south and 250 m east-west (16 ha), extends from the bottom of the slope where Zahi Hawass has excavated the "workers' cemetery" in recent years, to the modern paved road and houses of Nazlet es-Semman and Kafr Gebel. A subst...

Giza Plateau MaPPinG Project

Between January 31 and May 7, 2009, the Giza Plateau mapping project team worked at the flagship Heit el-Ghurab (HeG) site (aka Lost City site) and up on the Giza Plateau at the Khentkawes Town (KKT), the settlement attached to the monument of Queen Khentkawes I (fig. 1).1 We embedded the Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) Advanced Field School for Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) ins...

Does GIZA++ Make Search Errors?

Word alignment is a critical procedure within statistical machine translation (SMT). Brown et al. (1993) have provided the most popular word alignment algorithm to date, one that has been implemented in the GIZA (Al-Onaizan et al. 1999) and GIZA++ (Och and Ney 2003) software and adopted by nearly every SMT project. In this article, we investigate whether this algorithm makes search errors when ...
