In this paper, we introduce a hybrid method to associate English collocations with sense class members chosen from WordNet. Our combinational approach includes a learning-based method, a paraphrase-based method and a sense frequency ranking method. At training time, a set of collocations with their tagged senses is prepared. We use the sentence information extracted from a large corpus and cros...

We present in this paper the convergence properties of Jacobi spectral collocation method when used to approximate the solution of multidimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equation. The solution is sufficiently smooth while the source function and the kernel function are smooth. We choose the Jacobi-Gauss points associated with the multidimensional Jacobi weight function [Formula: see text]...

The sparse grid stochastic collocation method is a new method for solving partial differential equations with random coefficients. However, when the probability space has high dimensionality, the number of points required for accurate collocation solutions can be large, and it may be costly to construct the solution. We show that this process can be made more efficient by combining collocation ...

Collocations, i.e., recurrent word combinations such as take advantage (of), strong tea, and deeply absorbed, are receiving increasing attention in SLA research because of their importance to “native-like” production of language. Previous studies suggest that collocations pose a serious challenge to language learners and that learners’ L1 plays a crucial role in this respect. My paper aims to s...

Much interest has recently been directed toward the knowledge of collocations in the field of second language learning since they have been asserted to improve fluency. The current study was intended to examine the effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on the processing of collocations using a Self-Pace Reading Task (SPRT) and relevant working memory tasks. To this end, partici...

Nowadays, spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become a powerful tool for providing significant wave height. Traditionally, validation of SAR derived ocean wave height has been carried out against buoy measurements or model outputs, which only yield a inter-comparison, but not an ‘absolute’ validation. In this study, the triple collocation error model has been introduced in the validat...

We study the convergence behavior of collocation schemes applied to approximate solutions of BVPs in linear index 1 DAEs which exhibit a critical point at the left boundary. Such a critical point of the DAE causes a singularity within the inherent ODE system. We focus our attention on the case when the inherent ODE system is singular with a singularity of the first kind, apply polynomial colloc...

This work introduces the weighted radial basis collocation method for boundary value problems. We first show that the employment of least-squares functional with quadrature rules constitutes an approximation of the direct collocation method. Standard radial basis collocation method, however, yields a larger solution error near boundaries. The residuals in the least-squares functional associated...

The study of translation by bilingual female students studying Arabic had not received much attention, especially with regard to the cultural errors that these made during English-Arabic translations, which resulted in them making mistakes translation. This prompted researchers focus on this area. main objective article is explore common collocation among Federal College Education (Technical), ...

Term Extraction, a key data preparation step in Text Mining, extracts the terms, i.e. relevant collocation of words, attached to specific concepts (e.g. genetic-algorithms and decisiontrees are terms associated to the concept “Machine Learning” ). In this paper, the task of extracting interesting collocations is achieved through a supervised learning algorithm, exploiting a few collocations man...
