This paper discusses the difference between ergodic and non-ergodic texts by considering the different levels of reasoning required of an agent in each case. The difference indentified between such texts is based on the distinction between credal and pignistic reasoning in the transferable belief model. It is argued that non-ergodic texts require an active agent to reason about the state of the...

This paper presents an early experimental work on BNC Text Categorization (TC) with Latin etymologies as features, emphasis on spoken and written texts. Two aims achieved in this study: (1) to explore discriminative new linguistic features rather than lots of noise-bringing “bag-of-words” (BoW). (2) to build up a base step to represent texts in distinct types of linguistic features with differe...

In literature, many feature types and learning algorithms are proposed for document classiication. However , an extensive and systematic evaluation of the various approaches has not been done yet. In order to investigate diierent text representations for document classiication, we have developed a tool which transforms documents into feature-value representations suitable for standard learning ...

Sample data plays an important role in land cover (LC) map validation. Traditionally, they are collected through field survey or image interpretation, either of which is costly, labor-intensive and time-consuming. In recent years, massive geo-tagged texts are emerging on the web and they contain valuable information for LC map validation. However, this kind of special textual data has seldom be...

This paper describes an automatic building of N-gram language models from Web texts for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. Although a huge amount of well-formed texts are needed to train a model, collecting and organizing such text corpus for every task by hand needs a great labor. We need the language model to update frequently to cover the current topics. To deal with this proble...

following the rise of darius i to power in 522 bc, many of countries became rebellious against him. three of nine of those revolts which took place in first and second years of darius was in elam. in this paper it has been tried based on texts, in particular bisitun inscription and new research and by using historical method of research to examine the nature of elamite uprising against darius. ...

Parallel texts alignment is an active research area in Natural Language Processing field. In this paper, we propose a method for sentence alignment of parallel texts that is based both on lexical and statistical information. The alignment procedure uses dynamic programming technique. We made our experiments for Spanish and English texts. We use lexical information from bilingual Spanish-English...
