This paper describes morphdb.hu, a Hungarian lexical database and morphological grammar. Morphdb.hu is the outcome of a severalyear collaborative effort and represents the resource with the widest coverage and broadest range of applicability presently available for Hungarian. The grammar resource is the formalization of well-founded theoretical decisions handling inflection and productive deriv...

The Hungarian vowel system is traditionally regarded as quantity-based. In such languages, length is primarily realised as a durational difference with little or no distinction in vowel quality. In this paper, we argue that the various types of interrelationship between quantity and quality have an impact on the target configuration of short and long vowels, and that quantity distinction is not...

The data assignment problem occurs for multiple targets tracking application. It is crucial for the overall performance. In this paper, two observations of date assignment are considered, and then a new rotational sorting algorithm based on maximum likelihood principle was presented. The given algorithm of O(logN) and O(N) complexity developed is faster than the more popularly used Hungarian ty...

The paper describes our participation in monolingual tasks at CLEF 2006. We have submitted results for the following languages: English, French, Portuguese and Hungarian. We focused on studying different weighting schemes (okapi and dfr) and retrieval strategies (passage retrieval and document retrieval) to improve retrieval performance. After an analysis of our experiments and of the official ...

Ji et al. have conjectured that using the matrix form (to represent a basic solution) instead of the Simplex tableau in the dual Simplex method will lead to an algorithm with the time complexity comparable to the Hungarian algorithm for solving the Assignment Problem. In this note we show that both the time complexity and the CPU times of the Ji et al. algorithm are far away from being competit...

This paper investigates the competitiveness of Hungarian agriculture in relation to that of the EU employing four indices of revealed comparative advantage, for the period 1992 to 1998. Consistency tests implies that the indices are less satisfactory as cardinal measures, but are useful in identifying whether or not Hungary has a comparative advantage in a particular product group. The results ...

This study presents the first experimental evidence that singing can facilitate short-term paired-associate phrase learning in an unfamiliar language (Hungarian). Sixty adult participants were randomly assigned to one of three "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions: speaking, rhythmic speaking, or singing. Participants in the singing condition showed superior overall performance on a collectio...
