Alignment Constraints in French
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent phonological accounts of liaison (e.g., Booij (1986); Encrevé (1988); Tranel (1994); Tranel (1995) have relied heavily on rules and constraints involving syllable structure. Such an approach potentially meshes well with Selkirk’s (1974) study which accounts for the grammatical distribution of liaison in terms of phonological words. However, there is evidence that prosodic constraints are not in fact central to the phonological or distributional properties of liaison. The analysis which I will develop in this paper provides a phonotactic basis for liaison, drawing particularly on the insights of McCarthy & Prince (1993).

Epidemiology of Inflight Medical Events
Introduction: Since the 1950s, air travel has grown exponentially. In 2018, the number of international air passengers was estimated at 4.1 billion. Air travel exposes the passenger to a number of constraints (like physical constraints, stress) that can be correlated and lead to an inflight medical event, especially for passengers with chronic conditions or fragile health.<br /...
متن کاملWord Alignment via Submodular Maximization over Matroids
We cast the word alignment problem as maximizing a submodular function under matroid constraints. Our framework is able to express complex interactions between alignment components while remaining computationally efficient, thanks to the power and generality of submodular functions. We show that submodularity naturally arises when modeling word fertility. Experiments on the English-French Hansa...
متن کاملEffect of Objective Function on the Optimization of Highway Vertical Alignment by Means of Metaheuristic Algorithms
The main purpose of this work is the comparison of several objective functions for optimization of the vertical alignment. To this end, after formulation of optimum vertical alignment problem based on different constraints, the objective function was considered as four forms including: 1) the sum of the absolute value of variance between the vertical alignment and the existing ground; 2) the su...
متن کاملProAlign: Shared Task System Description
ProAlign combines several different approaches in order to produce high quality word word alignments. Like competitive linking, ProAlign uses a constrained search to find high scoring alignments. Like EM-based methods, a probability model is used to rank possible alignments. The goal of this paper is to give a bird’s eye view of the ProAlign system to encourage discussion and comparison. 1 Alig...
متن کاملAligning words using matrix factorisation
Aligning words from sentences which are mutual translations is an important problem in different settings, such as bilingual terminology extraction, Machine Translation, or projection of linguistic features. Here, we view word alignment as matrix factorisation. In order to produce proper alignments, we show that factors must satisfy a number of constraints such as orthogonality. We then propose...
