The work presented in this paper regards the construction of the formal representation of the content of the input sentence. It is part of a speech-to-speech translation system, where this language independent format is used as an intermediate representation between source and target languages. The general application domain is travel planning, but it is divided in more speci c domains, such as...

In the subcritical transition scenario, there is typically a regime where the linearly stable basic state coexists with the turbulent state. The simplest model of this is a 1D system ẏ = y(12 − y)(y − 1) where the basic state is y = 0, the ‘turbulent’ state is y = 1 and there is an intermediate state y = 12 which separates initial conditions which become turbulent (if y(0) > 12 then y(t) → 1 as...

We have reexamined the role played by transient rheology in the interpretation of mantle viscosity. This investigation has been carried out by comparing the amplitude responses with the data of secular variation of J2, the relative sea-level histories at sites well within the ice margins and at the ice margin like the city of Boston. A linear Burgers' body theology has been assumed in the lower...

This paper provides a modular high-level design of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) architecture. Our design is given in terms of Abstract State Machines (ASMs) and takes the form of an interpreter. We describe the CLR as a hierarchy of eight submachines, which correspond to eight submodules into which the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) instruction set can be decomposed.

This contribution deals with asynchronous noncoherent recognition of modulation types. The main aim is to recognize OFDM modulation method from some other single-carrier analog and digital modulation types in the presence of AWGN noise. The described solution of recognizer uses key features of the received signal. The signal amplitude is observed at the output of the quadrature intermediate-fre...

In this paper we describe DISCUSS, a dialogue move taxonomy layered over semantic representations. We designed this scheme to enable development of computational models of tutorial dialogues and to provide an intermediate representation suitable for question and tutorial act generation. As such, DISCUSS captures semantic and pragmatic elements across four dimensions: Dialogue Act, Rhetorical Fo...
