This paper describes an instrument that can compose a song using predicates of Ancient Greek Music. It employs the methodology and musical notation of this specific music system and at the same time, it provides a mapping mechanism that depicts the whole process to composition predicates of the usual notation of Western Music. The aim of this application is to facilitate the efforts of Ancient ...

A key observation that has emerged out of the examination of different stages of a language is that no language is static; all aspects of language are subject to change, including the sounds, the forms, the sentence structure, meanings, etc. Indeed, as far as Greek is concerned, the evidence presented in the chapters on syntactic change between Classical and Hellenistic Greek and on movement to...

Introduction. The project started with an innocuous attempt by one of the authors (it is obvious who) to learn TjjX for translating a Greek book on Mechanics, only to find that lacked the bold upright Greek lowercase letters used for symbolizing vectors such as o and @ for angular velocity vectors. After some trials with variations of "poor man's bold" ( T h e T&Xbook, p.386) it became clear th...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the major quantitative parameters related to the definition of the optimum text size in Modern Greek corpus development. Using the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC) (Hatzigeorgiu et al., 2000) as a reference point we estimated a number of critical statistical measures regarding feature counting in different text sizes. The results indicate that frequent ling...

We present a number of experiments on parsing the Ancient Greek Dependency Treebank (AGDT), i.e. the largest syntactically annotated corpus of Ancient Greek currently available (350k words ca). Although the AGDT is rather unbalanced and far from being representative of all genres and periods of Ancient Greek, no attempt has been made so far to perform automatic dependency parsing of Ancient Gre...

Acquisition of object clitics is one of the more investigated aspects of the largely understudied variety of Modern Greek spoken in the Republic of Cyprus. Previous studies on the acquisition of clitics in Cypriot Greek usually acknowledge that the linguistic reality in Cyprus involves a state of diglossia, where the sociolinguistically ‘high’ Standard Modern Greek co-exists with the ‘low’ Cypr...

We present a simple and effective approach to authorship verification for Dutch, English, Spanish and Greek, which can be easily ported to yet other languages. We train a binary linear classifier both on the features describing known and unknown documents individually, and on the joint features comparing these two types of documents. The list of feature types includes, among others, character n...

Actinomycetes are comprised of diverse group of organisms that are Gram positive with guanine plus cytosine content in their DNA being greater than 55M % [1]. The term actinomycetes is coined from two greek words, atkis meaning ray and mykesmeaning fungus [2]. This is because the organisms have both fungi and bacteria like features. Like fungi, they form mycelia network branching filaments whil...

Statistical data for agricultural policy analysis has certain unique features: a multitude of sources of very different nature; a variety of dimensional granularity; different end user requirements. The utilization of Data Warehouse technology would be valuable for overcoming the above data issues. Ιn this paper, we describe the technologies involved and the data modeling requirements, making a...
