Unsupervised word segmentation methods were applied to analyze protein sequences. Protein sequences, such as “MTMDKSELVQKA...,” were used as input to these methods. Segmented “protein word” sequences, such as “MTM DKSE LVQKA,” were then obtained. We compared the “protein words” derived via unsupervised segmentation and protein secondary structure segmentation. An interesting finding is that uns...

Interactive spoken dialog provides many new challenges for spoken language systems. One of the most critical is the prevalence of speech repairs. This paper presents an algorithm that detects and corrects speech repairs based on finding the repair pattern. The repair pattern is built by finding word matches and word replacements, and identifying fragments and editing terms. Rather than using a ...

BACKGROUND Finding the right word is a necessity in communication, and its evaluation has always been a challenging clinical issue, suggesting the need for valid and reliable measurements. The Homophone Meaning Generation Test (HMGT) can measure the ability to switch between verbal concepts, which is required in word retrieval. The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the Persian ver...
