In this paper, we deal with information retrieval approach based on language model paradigm, which has been intensively investigated in recent years. We propose, implement, and evaluate an enrichment of language model employing syntactic dependency information acquired automatically from both documents and queries. By testing our model on the Czech test collection from Cross Language Evaluation...

The paper casts a critical eye on those dependency grammars (DGs) that view linear order as derived from hierarchical order. It argues that MTT is such a DG insofar as language synthesis begins with a semantic representation, progresses through syntactic representations that lack linear order, and then proceeds to the morphological and phonological representations that include linear order. The...

This paper raises and discusses three questions about the structure of Meaning-Text Theory, based on consideration of the role that paradigmatic Lexical Functions play in its model of the lexicon: Is the paradigmatic-syntagmatic distinction meaningful? Do paradigmatic LFs represent redundant semantic information (and if so, is the redundancy justified)? And finally, might definitions of lexemes...

In this example, however, by the moment the word is has been read, the word p r o b l e m is already engaged in other strongly predicted constructions, namely the prepositional phrase of" this p r o b l e m and even the whole noun phrase the s o l u t i o n o f this p r o b l e m . A conflict arises, and plausibility of the new hypothesis becomes much lower. Such syntactic relations may concern...

We seize the opportunity of the publication of selected papers from the Logic, categories, semantics workshop in the Journal of Applied Logic to survey some current trends in logic, namely intuitionistic and linear type theories, that interweave categorical, geometrical and computational considerations. We thereafter present how these rich logical frameworks can model the way language conveys m...

We give a general overview of different perspectives on the meaning and creation of sequence alignments. Our points of view come from statistical, computational, algorithmic, evolutionary, and biological directions. We then survey recent work on algorithms in this area, focusing on local pairwise alignment of DNA sequences, but also discussing some recent work on multiple and global alignments.

In this survey we will define the Grigorchuk group and prove some of its properties. We will show that the Grigorchuk group is finitely generated but infinite. We will also show that the Grigorchuk group is a 2-group, meaning that every element has finite order a power of two. This, along with Burnside’s Theorem, gives that the Grigorchuk group is not linear.

The historical pedigree and meaning of ‘‘information’’ has been hotly contested since its scientific definition in the 1940s. Scientists have authored very different explanations for the origins of informational research, the scope of information theory, and the historical significance of its findings. This survey classifies the historical literature into genres, offering a view into the changi...

The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is very challengeable and interesting problem that can model many real-life problems. In this paper, we will simply discuss the meaning of quadratic assignment problem, solving techniques and we will give a survey of some developments and researches.

BACKGROUND Burnout and intolerance of uncertainty have been linked to low job satisfaction and lower quality patient care. While resilience is related to these concepts, no study has examined these three concepts in a cohort of doctors. The objective of this study was to measure resilience, burnout, compassion satisfaction, personal meaning in patient care and intolerance of uncertainty in Aust...
