Very large irregular-grid volume datasets are typically represented as tetrahedral meshes and require substantial disk I/O and rendering computation. One effective way to reduce this demanding resource requirement is compression. Previous research showed how rendering and decompression of a losslessly compressed irregular-grid dataset can be integrated into a one-pass computation. This work adv...

Text simplification modifies syntax and lexicon to improve the understandability of language for an end user. This survey identifies and classifies simplification research within the period 1998-2013. Simplification can be used for many applications, including: Second language learners, preprocessing in pipelines and assistive technology. There are many approaches to the simplification task, in...

Lexical simplification has attracted much attention in many languages, which is the process of replacing complex words a given sentence with simpler alternatives equivalent meaning. Although richness vocabulary Chinese makes text very difficult to read for children and non-native speakers, there no research work lexical (CLS) task. To circumvent difficulties acquiring annotations, we manually c...
