This paper demonstrates that machine learning is a suitable approach for rapid parser development. From 1000 newly treebanked Korean sentences we generate a deterministic shift-reduce parser. The quality of the treebank, particularly crucial given its small size, is supported by a consistency checker.

Tree-to-string systems have gained significant popularity thanks to their simplicity and efficiency by exploring the source syntax information, but they lack in the target syntax to guarantee the grammaticality of the output. Instead of using complex tree-to-tree models, we integrate a structured language model, a left-to-right shift-reduce parser in specific, into an incremental tree-to-string...

Traditionally, the earthmoving operations have been developed based on the minimum cost per production criterion. Nowadays, due to the negative impacts of the emissions on the environment, there is an increasing public awareness to reduce the emissions from the earthmoving operations. Different management strategies can be employed to reduce emissions, amongst other things, which can also resul...

Economists providing policy advice often justify recommendations of government non-interference in the allocation of resources between production sectors and free trade with reference to the Diamond and Mirrlees efficiency theorem. However, such policy advice may be misleading when, as is in general the case, administrative costs effectively restrict the set of feasible tax instruments availabl...

Heifer development depends on nutritional management decisions throughout all growing phases. Optimizing costs to raise heifers improves profitability of dairy farms. Feed costs for heifers make up 50% of heifer costs. Required growth rates depend on the desired age at first calving and estimated mature body weight. Intensive milk feeding improves calf growth and subsequent milk production. Pre...

Activated carbon injection upstream of a particulate control system is currently the most viable method available for removal of both elemental and oxidized mercury from coal-fired utility flue gas streams [1]. However, current estimates predict very high costs associated with mercury control, with activated carbon costs representing a large fraction of the overall costs. In order to make carbo...

The Internet and the emerging global infostructure pose new opportunities and threats to businesses. This paper looks at the implications of these emerging low cost communications infrastructures on business practice and strategy. I examine how firms are using the Internet to improve innovation, production, sales, and service processes and I consider the effects of lower communications and coor...

Multispecies interactions may have important consequences for the ecology and evolution of mutualism by changing the cost-to-benefit ratio. Here I determine whether florivorous beetles can limit moth populations and influence the costs of the mutualism between yuccas and their pollinating moths. Yucca moths actively pollinate yucca flowers, and their larvae feed on a portion of the seeds. I use...

Integrated operations are increasingly used in oil and gas production facilities to improve yields, reduce costs and maximize profits. They leverage information and communications technology (ICT) to facilitate collaboration between experts at widely dispersed locations. This paper discusses the safety and security consequences of implementing integrated operations for oil and gas production. I...

Software development is difficult because software is complex, the software production process is complex and understanding of software systems is a challenge. In this paper we propose a 3D visual approach to depict software production cost related program information to support software maintenance. The information helps us to reduce software maintenance costs, to plan the use of personnel wis...
