It has recently been proposed that term senses can be automatically ranked by how strongly they possess a given opinion-related property, by applying PageRank, the well known random-walk algorithm lying at the basis of the Google search engine, to a graph in which nodes are represented by eXtended WordNet synsets and links are represented by the binary relation si I sk (“the gloss of synset si ...

In this paper, we describe a framework for vocabulary acquisition using audio books. The proposed framework performs automatic alignment of text and large speech files in audio books. This enables highlighting of words and sentences during voice over. The proposed framework can be easily extended to a large number of audio books. We evaluate this framework on a set of subjects between the age o...

This work aims to understand and model the inter-modal temporal relations between the audio and visual modalities of speech and validate whether the captured relations can improve the performance of audio-visual bimodal modeling for such applications as audio-visual speaker identification. We propose to extend our audio-visual correlative model (AVCM) with explicit durational modeling of the pa...

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) aims to predict the correct sense of a word given its context. This problem is extreme importance in Arabic, as written words can be highly ambiguous; 43% diacritized have multiple interpretations and percentage increases 72% for non-diacritized words. Nevertheless, most Arabic text does not diacritical marks. Gloss-based WSD methods measure semantic similarity o...

In this paper I address two main issues in the semantics of deadjectival verbs. First, I review alternative accounts of the nature of the telos associated with a deadjectival verb on a telic interpretation. Traditional accounts gloss the telic sense of a deadjectival verb as ‘become A’: for example, the telic interpretation of The sky cleared is ‘The sky became clear’. On this account, the telo...

For the rst interactive Cross-Language Evaluation Forum, the Maryland team focused on comparison of term-for-term gloss translation with full machine translation for the document selection task. The results show that (1) searchers are able to make relevance judgments with translations from either approach, and (2) the machine translation system achieved better eeectiveness than the gloss transl...

An experimental polyethylene–candelilla-wax coating formulation was evaluated in comparison to a high-gloss, shellac and wood resin citrus coating for storage of ‘Valencia’ oranges at 15–25°C. Oranges with the wax coating had relatively high flavor scores (8.9–10.4) even after 9–16 days storage at 15–25°C. By contrast, the high-gloss coating, shown to be typical of such citrus coatings, resulte...
