1. Introduction Icon is a high-level programming language that features facilities for string and list processing. In addition to these facilities, it has expressions, called generators, that are capable of producing sequences of results. A goal-directed evaluation mechanism automatically produces the results of generators in an attempt to produce 'successful' computations. Generators and goal-...

10. Avoid long lines. Instead, continue expressions on as many lines as are needed for easy readability. See the first two issues of The Icon Analyst for the proper techniques for breaking lines. Similarly, continue long string and cset literals on several lines if that’s necessary to make them readable. See Appendix A of the second edition of The Icon Programming Language for the method of con...

This paper reports about our work in the ICON 2013 NLP TOOLS CONTEST on Named Entity Recognition. We submitted runs for Bengali, English, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu. A statistical HMM (Hidden Markov Models) based model has been used to implement our system. The system has been trained and tested on the NLP TOOLS CONTEST: ICON 2013 datasets. Our system obtains F-measures of 0.8599...

This paper reports about our work in the ICON 2009 NLP TOOLS CONTEST: Parsing. We submitted two runs for Bengali. A statistical CRF based model followed by a rule-based post-processing technique has been used. The system has been trained on the NLP TOOLS CONTEST: ICON 2009 datasets. The system demonstrated an unlabeled attachment score (UAS) of 74.09%, labeled attachment score (LAS) of 53.90% a...

The Icon programming language [1] is fairly stable now, although refinements and new features are added occasionally [2]. The implementation of Icon, on the other hand, is still changing constantly. Besides changes made to support new features of the language, changes are made to correct errors, improve performance, increase portability, accommodate the requirements of new compilers and operati...
