Large Scale Collocation Data and Their Application to Japanese Word Processor Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Word processors or computers used in Japan employ Japanese input method through keyboard stroke combined with Kana (phonetic) character to Kanji (ideographic, Chinese) character conversion technology. The key factor of Kana-to-Kanji conversion technology is how to raise the accuracy of the conversion through the homophone processing, since we have so many homophonic Kanjis. In this paper, we report the results of our Kana-to-Kanji conversion experiments which embody the homophone processing based on large scale collocation data. It is shown that approximately 135,000 collocations yield 9 .1% raise of the conversion accuracy compared with the prototype system which has no collocation data,

Collocations as Word Co-ocurrence Restriction Data - An Application to Japanese Word Processor
Collocations, the combination of specific words are quite useful linguistic resources for NLP in general. The purpose of this paper is to show their usefulness, exemplifying an application to Kanji character decision processes for Japanese word processors. Unlike recent trials of automatic extraction, our collocations were collected manually through many years of intensive investigation of corp...

We consider an approximation scheme using Haar wavelets for solving a class of infinite horizon optimal control problems (OCP's) of nonlinear interconnected large-scale dynamic systems. A computational method based on Haar wavelets in the time-domain is proposed for solving the optimal control problem. Haar wavelets integral operational matrix and direct collocation method are utilized to find ...

Kana-Kanji conversion is known as one of the representative applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Japanese language. The N-pos model, presenting the probability of a Kanji candidate sequence by the product of bi-gram Part-of-Speech (POS) probabilities and POS-to-word emission probabilities, has been successfully applied in a number of well-known Japanese Input Method Editor ...
