We propose a new method to integrate multiple speech translation systems based on user interface-level integration. Users can select the result of free-sentence speech translation or that of registered sentence translation without being conscious of the configuration of the automatic speech translation system. We implemented this method on a portable device.

Plagiarism is described as the reuse of someone else’s previous ideas, work or even words without sufficient attribution to the source. This paper presents a method to detect external plagiarism using the integration of semantic relations between words and their syntactic composition. The problem with the available methods is that they fail to capture the meaning in comparison between a source ...

Videos, images, and sentences are mediums that can express the same semantics. One can imagine a picture by reading a sentence or can describe a scene with some words. However, even small changes in a sentence can cause a significant semantic inconsistency with the corresponding video/image. For example, by changing the verb of a sentence, the meaning may drastically change. There have been man...

In this paper, we present a practical method of sentence ordering in extractive multi-document summarization tasks of Chinese language. By using Support Vector Machine (SVM), we classify the sentences of a summary into several groups in rough position according to the source documents. Then we adjust the sentence sequence of each group according to the estimation of directional relativity of ad...

In this paper, a method with sentence-wide optimization consideration is proposed to generate a Mandarin sentence's pitch-contour. The developed model is called the sentence pitch-contour HMM (SPC-HMM) due to its use of VQ (vector quantization) and HMM (hidden Markov model). To construct an SPC-HMM, the pitch-contours of the syllables from each training sentence are normalized on both time and ...

In this article we present a new method for text segmentation. The method relies on the number of lexical chains (LCs) which end in a sentence, which begin in the following sentence and which traverse the two successive sentences. The lexical chains are based on Roget’s thesaurus (the 1987 and the 1911 version). We evaluate the method on ten texts from the DUC 2002 conference and on twenty text...

Clustering is an extensively studied data mining problem in the text domains. The difficulty finds numerous applications in customer segmentation, classification, collaborative filtering, visualization, document organization, and indexing. In text mining, clustering the sentence is one of the processes and used within general text mining tasks. Several clustering methods and algorithms are used...

3. page 13, lines 12–13: Insert a phrase to stress that we consider only monotone LCP in this book, though the qualifier ”monotone” is often omitted. Replace the sentence preceding the formula (1.21) by The monotone LCP—the qualifier ”monotone” is implicit throughout this book—is the problem of finding vectors x and s in I R that satisfy the following conditions: 4. page 13, line −12: delete “o...

We come up with the problem of evaluating the quality of bilingual sentence pairs mined from the web, which is critical for a wide range of applications such as statistical machine translation (SMT) and English as Second Language (ESL) learning. To address this problem, we propose a novel method that integrates multiple linguistic features related to spelling, grammar, alignment, and particular...
