The Automatic Characterization of Grammars from Small Wordlists
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two novel examples of simple algorithms which characterize the grammars of low-resource languages: a tool for the characterization of vowel harmony, and a framework for unsupervised morphological segmentation which achieves state-of-the-art performance. Accurate characterization of grammars jump starts the process of description by a trained linguist. Furthermore, morphological segmentation provides gains in machine translation as well, a perennial challenge for low-resource undocumented and endangered languages.

Alternating Regular Tree Grammars in the Framework of Lattice-Valued Logic
In this paper, two different ways of introducing alternation for lattice-valued (referred to as {L}valued) regular tree grammars and {L}valued top-down tree automata are compared. One is the way which defines the alternating regular tree grammar, i.e., alternation is governed by the non-terminals of the grammar and the other is the way which combines state with alternation. The first way is ta...
متن کاملLexStat: Automatic Detection of Cognates in Multilingual Wordlists
In this paper, a new method for automatic cognate detection in multilingual wordlists will be presented. The main idea behind the method is to combine different approaches to sequence comparison in historical linguistics and evolutionary biology into a new framework which closely models the most important aspects of the comparative method. The method is implemented as a Python program and provi...

At first, the necessary information of car turning that were collected from the traffic bylaw, car driving training centers and traffic police are explained. Then, car turning is studied experimentally on several streets with different widths. Afterward, a proper path is designed for the automatic car turning system consider...
متن کاملAutomatic Landing of Small Helicopters on 4 DOF Moving Platforms
In this research, an automatic control system is designed for landing of a small helicopter on a 4 DOF moving platform. The platform has three translational and one directional degree of freedom. The controller design approach is based on development of helicopter nonlinear dynamic model into the SDC (State Dependent Coefficient) form and real time solving of state dependent Riccati equation (S...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
