We address the problem of joint part-of-speech (POS) tagging and dependency parsing in Chinese. In Chinese, some POS tags are often hard to disambiguate without considering longrange syntactic information. Also, the traditional pipeline approach to POS tagging and dependency parsing may suffer from the problem of error propagation. In this paper, we propose the first incremental approach to the...

Retail industry Point of Sale (POS) computer systems are frequently targeted by hackers for credit/debit card data. Faced with increasing security threats, new security standards requiring encryption for card data storage and transmission were introduced making harvesting card data more difficult. Encryption can be circumvented by extracting unencrypted card data from the volatile memory of POS...

A part-of-speech (POS) tagged corpus was built on research abstracts in biomedical domain with the Penn Treebank scheme. As consistent annotation was difficult without domain-specific knowledge we made use of the existing term annotation of the GENIA corpus. A list of frequent terms annotated in the GENIA corpus was compiled and the POS of each constituent of those terms were determined with as...

Part-of-speech (POS) is an indispensable feature in dependency parsing. Current research usually models POS tagging and dependency parsing independently. This may suffer from error propagation problem. Our experiments show that parsing accuracy drops by about 6% when using automatic POS tags instead of gold ones. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a solution by jointly optimizing POS tagg...

Kana-Kanji conversion is known as one of the representative applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Japanese language. The N-pos model, presenting the probability of a Kanji candidate sequence by the product of bi-gram Part-of-Speech (POS) probabilities and POS-to-word emission probabilities, has been successfully applied in a number of well-known Japanese Input Method Editor ...

The social exchange view of commitment (R. Eisenberger, R. Huntington, S. Hutchison, & D. Sowa, 1986) suggests that employees' perceptions of the organization's commitment to them (perceived organizational support, or POS) creates feelings of obligation to the employer, which enhances employees' work behavior. The authors addressed the question of whether POS or the more traditional commitment ...

Exploiting an original dataset of non-cash payments during the period between 1996 and 2005, this study analyses the diffusion patterns of non-cash payments in China. Based on both exponential and Gompertz curves, the point of sale (POS) terminal has shown a higher diffusion rate than that of automatic teller machines (ATMs). This result is also robust when a time trend is interacted with rival...

English. The paper describes our submissions to the task on PoS tagging for Italian Social Media Texts (PoSTWITA) at Evalita 2016. We compared two approaches: a traditional HMM trigram Pos tagger and a Deep Learning PoS tagger using both character-level and word-level embeddings. The character-level embeddings performed better proving that they can provide a finer representation of words that a...
