Pieces for a Global Puzzle

چکیده
My official rhetorical position in this paper, that of an ordinary linguist talking to computational linguists, is rapidly becoming obsolete. In a near future, there will be no non-obsolete ordinary linguists who are not also computational linguists, and no non-obsolete computational linguists who are not also ordinary linguists. So, in anticipation of the near future, I will talk as a linguist to other linguists about an exciting possibility that will require some cooperation between those linguists who know about language typology and historical linguistics and those linguists who know about programming and parsing.

Introducing an Invention: Puzzle Shaped Cast for Upper Limb Fractures
Upper limb fractures are prevalent injuries. An essential element of fracture healing is to maintain the bones alignment. However there are lots of complications associated with traditional ways of treatment, such as compartment syndrome and stiffness due to immobility for long time. Also evaluation and observation of the limb under the casts for potential infections and skin issues are n...
متن کاملA Global Approach for Solving Edge-Matching Puzzles
We consider apictorial edge-matching puzzles, in which the goal is to arrange a collection of puzzle pieces with colored edges so that the colors match along the edges of adjacent pieces. We devise an algebraic representation for this problem and provide conditions under which it exactly characterizes a puzzle. Using the new representation, we recast the combinatorial, discrete problem of solvi...
متن کاملAssembly of Puzzles Using a Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we proposed a method for solving the rectangle piece jigsaw puzzle assembly problem. A shape of a piece is a rectangle, and a picture of a puzzle is only painted in black and white, i.e., puzzles are processed as binary images. The assembly of the puzzle is performed only using information of the pixel value on the border line of the pieces. This problem cannot be solved by the s...
متن کاملJigsaw Percolation: What Social Networks Can Collaboratively Solve a Puzzle? by Charles
We introduce a new kind of percolation on finite graphs called jigsaw percolation. This model attempts to capture networks of people who innovate by merging ideas and who solve problems by piecing together solutions. Each person in a social network has a unique piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Acquainted people with compatible puzzle pieces merge their puzzle pieces. More generally, groups of people w...

متن کاملSolving Square Jigsaw Puzzles Using Dynamic Programming and the Hungarian Procedure
Problem statement: To design, implement, and test an algorithm for solving the square jigsaw puzzle problem, which has many applications in image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision such as restoration of archeological artifacts and image descrambling. Approach: The algorithm used the gray level profiles of border pixels for local matching of the puzzle pieces, which was perfor...
