This paper addresses the clause splitting problem and proposes a multilingual method for detecting clause boundaries in unrestricted texts. The method combines language independent machine learning techniques with language specific rules in order to take the first step in building the hierarchical structure of sentences. The results of a machine learning algorithm, trained on an annotated corpu...

The present paper describes various syntactic sentence fusion techniques for Bengali language that belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family. Firstly a clause identification and classification system marks clause boundaries and classifies them as principle clause and subordinate clauses. A rule-based sentence classification system has been developed to categorize sentences as simple, complex an...

We exploited the properties of VP-ellipsis constructions containing inherently reflexive and inalienable possession verbs that severely constrained final interpretation (e.g., "The policeman perjured himself, and the fireman did too…"). Using the cross-modal lexical priming task, we found that listeners reactivated the subject NP from the first clause at the elided position in the second clause...

Abstract The hybrid clause is an optional dispute resolution that offers the parties to a contract, for resolving their dispute, option between state courts and arbitral tribunals. combination of two different mechanisms, litigation arbitration, raises issue determining international or regional instruments applicable this clause, such as Brussels I bis Regulation. As matter fact, Recast Regula...

We consider the question of the existence of variables with few occurrences in boolean conjunctive normal forms (clause-sets). Let μvd(F ) for a clause-set F denote the minimal variable-degree, the minimum of the number of occurrences of variables. Our main result is an upper bound μvd(F ) ≤ nM(σ(F )) ≤ σ(F ) + 1 + log 2 (σ(F )) for lean clause-sets F in dependency on the surplus σ(F ). Lean cl...

The most perspicuous phenomenon that demonstrates the head-final property of Japanese is the sentence-final clusters of auxiliary verbs such as (s)ase and conjunctive particles nagara. Although they are related to the hierarchical clause structure that has been discussed in the literature of Japanese linguistics, the hierarchical complexities have also been one of the major causes of the failur...

As satisfiability (SAT) solver performance has improved, so has their complexity, which make it more likely that SAT solvers contain bugs. One important source of increased complexity is clause sharing in parallel SAT solvers. SAT solvers can emit a proof of unsatisfiability to gain confidence that their results are correct. Such proofs must contain deletion information in order to check them e...
