Traditional approaches for extractive summarization score/classify sentences based on features such as position in the text, word frequency and cue phrases. These features tend to produce satisfactory summaries, but have the inconvenience of being domain dependent. In this paper, we propose to tackle this problem representing the sentences by word sequences (n-grams), a widely used representati...

This paper presents an approach that enables automatic titling of e-mails relying on the morphosyntactic study of real titles. Automatic titling of e-mails has two interests: Titling mails ’no object’ and managing personal information. The method is developed in three stages: Candidate sentences determination for titling, noun phrases extraction in the candidate sentences, and finally, selectin...

Standard Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) was designed mainly to explain the so-called donkey-sentences. The pronouns plaYing such a prominent role in all these sentences belong, however, exclusively to one (partlculaPly simple) type of pronoun. We try to extend DRT in order to cover an equally Important type of pronoun, the so-called etdes0rIptlonal,* pronoun. Discourse referents ape now ...

This research is entitled (The Role of Syntax and Semantics Connectives in simple sentences, terms the theory Government Banding Kurdish languages). have a significant roles language, they combine components languages (word, phrase, sentence) creates larger units. are, such as prepositions Conjunctions, used take role syntax semantics. Prepositions like (in, on, at, …etc) links with nouns, pron...

The Swiss avalanche bulletin is produced twice a day in four languages. Due to the lack of time available for manual translation, a fully automated translation system is employed, based on a catalogue of predefined phrases and predetermined rules of how these phrases can be combined to produce sentences. The system is able to automatically translate such sentences from German into the target la...

We have developed a summarization method that creates a snmmary suitable for tim p,'ocess o f sifting information retrieval results. Unlike conventional methods that extract ilnportant sentences, this method constructs short phrases to reduce the burden of reading long sentences. We have developed a prototype summarization system tbr Japanese. Through a rather large-scale task~ based experiment...

The Author Profiling (AP) task aims to distinguish between groups of authors labeled by a common demographic characteristic such as gender or age by studying the language usage. In this work we studied the role of personal phrases (i.e., sentences containing first person pronouns) for the AP task. We support the idea that people better expose their personal interests and writing style when they...

Due to recent development in the area of computational formalisms for linguistic representation, the task of designing a parser for a speciied natural language is now shifted to the problem of designing its grammar in certain formal ways. This paper describes the results of a project whose aim was to design a formal grammar for modern Hebrew. Such a formal grammar has never been developed befor...

This article has been retracted by IOP Publishing following an allegation that this contains tortured phrases. investigated in line with the COPE guidelines, and agrees a number of phrases nonsensical sentences feature throughout paper, to extent makes very little sense. The evidence gathered date, combined lack author response, considerably reduces confidence work made decision retract work. W...

Most previous approaches to syntactic parsing of Chinese rely on a preprocessing step of word segmentation, thereby assuming there was a clearly defined boundary between morphology and syntax in Chinese. We show how this assumption can fail badly, leading to many out-of-vocabulary words and incompatible annotations. Hence in practice the strict separation of morphology and syntax in the Chinese...
