Language, script and modernity

Script Induction as Language Modeling

The narrative cloze is an evaluation metric commonly used for work on automatic script induction. While prior work in this area has focused on count-based methods from distributional semantics, such as pointwise mutual information, we argue that the narrative cloze can be productively reframed as a language modeling task. By training a discriminative language model for this task, we attain impr...

Tokenizing an Arabic Script Language

In any natural language processing project, the input text needs to undergo tokenization before morphological analysis or parsing. For Arabic script languages the tokenization process faces more problems and it plays a more crucial role in natural language processing (NLP) systems for Arabic script languages. In this work we elaborate on some of these problems and present solutions for these. T...

Script Language for Image Processing

This paper proposes a design and structure of script language which is intended for easy description and prototyping of high-level image processing operations. The image operations are meant to be composed from basic building blocks represented by either C/C++ functions or appropriate block connections in FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) circuits. The proposed language is designed for use i...
