We present a novel method for segmenting the input sentence into words and assigning parts of speech to the words. It consists of a statistical language model and an efficient two-pa~qs N-best search algorithm. The algorithm does not require delimiters between words. Thus it is suitable for written Japanese. q'he proposed Japanese morphological analyzer achieved 95. l% recall and 94.6% precisio...

This paper describes and evaluates work carried out in the social housing context in the United Kingdom using a systems thinking approach called ‘lean systems’ (LS). The work, sponsored by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, was designed to test whether LS could improve the efficiency of delivery of housing management and maintenance services. A pilot programme was developed in which three...

One of the first projects, was an outgrowth of the Automated Data Processing (ADP) Committee at the National Museum of Natural History which was formed in 1963. The system that resulted from this project was known as SELGEM which stood for 'Self-Generated Master'. SELGEM used text data fields that were delimited by numeric tags and special characters. The system and the source code were provide...

Space-delimited words in Turkish and Hebrew text can be further segmented into meaningful units, but syntactic and semantic context is necessary to predict segmentation. At the same time, predicting correct syntactic structures relies on correct segmentation. We present a graph-based lattice dependency parser that operates on morphological lattices to represent different segmentations and morph...

Learning by teaching systems are a relatively recent approach to designing Intelligent Learning Environments that place learners in the role of tutors. These systems are based on the practice of peer tutoring where students take on defined roles of tutor and tutee. An architecture for learning by teaching systems is described that does not require the domain model of an Intelligent Tutoring Sys...

This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised TV program structuring. Program structuring allows direct and non linear access to the desired parts of a program. Our work addresses the structuring of programs like news, entertainment, shows, magazines... It is based on the detection of audio and visual recurrences. It proposes an effective classification and selection system, based on decisio...

Focusing on the discovery of weak currents, the current debate on the theory-ladenness of observation in modern physics might be too narrow, as it concerns only the last stage of a complex experimental process and statistical methods required to analyze data. The scope of the debate should be extended to include broader experimental conditions that concern the design of the apparatus and differ...

This paper describes research investigating the evolution of coordination strategies in robot soccer teams. Each player (viewed as an agent) is provided with a common set of skills and is assigned to perform over a delimited area inside a soccer field. The idea is to optimize the whole team behavior by means of a spatial coadaptation process in which new players are selected in such a way to co...

A CPS translation is a syntactic translation of programs, which is useful for describing their operational behavior. By iterating the standard callby-value CPS translation, Danvy and Filinski discovered the CPS hierarchy and proposed a family of control operators, shift and reset, that make it possible to capture successive delimited continuations in a CPS hierarchy. Although shift and reset ha...
