This thesis focuses on the role of design patterns in the design of the online newspaper genre. The research question put forth here is: How can design patterns be used to improve the online newspaper design process? Genre theory was applied to revile the structure and visual pattern of online newspaper design in an analysis of 85 Swedish online newspapers. Based on the results from the genre a...

A web page is a complex document which can share conventions of several genres, or contain several parts, each belonging to a different genre. To properly address the genre interplay, a recent proposal in automatic web genre identification is multi-label classification. The dominant approach to such classification is to transform one multi-label machine learning problem into several sub-problem...

The goal of our research is to improve event extraction by learning to identify secondary role filler contexts in the absence of event keywords. We propose a multilayered event extraction architecture that progressively “zooms in” on relevant information. Our extraction model includes a document genre classifier to recognize event narratives, two types of sentence classifiers, and noun phrase c...

We describe our continuing efforts to improve the UW-SRI-ICSI Mandarin broadcast speech recognizer. This includes increasing acoustic and text training data, adding discriminative features, incorporating frame-level discriminative training criterion, multiplepass acoustic model (AM) cross adaptation, language model (LM) genre adaptation and system combination. The net effect without LM adaptati...

Labelling of user's utterances to understanding his attends which called Dialogue Act (DA) classification, it is considered the key player for dialogue language understanding layer in automatic dialogue systems. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach to user's utterances labeling for Egyptian spontaneous dialogues and Instant Messages using Machine Learning (ML) approach without ...

In this paper we investigate possibility of using phrases of flexible length in genre classification of textual documents as an extension to classic bag of words document representation where documents are represented using single words as features. The investigation is conducted on collection of articles from document database collected from three different sources representing different genre...

Twitter is the largest source of microblog text, responsible for gigabytes of human discourse every day. Processing microblog text is difficult: the genre is noisy, documents have little context, and utterances are very short. As such, conventional NLP tools fail when faced with tweets and other microblog text. We present TwitIE, an open-source NLP pipeline customised to microblog text at every...

where t is a large real parameter. For enlightening accounts on this topic, the reader is referred to E. Krätzel’s monographs [14] and [15], to a recent survey article by A. Ivić, E. Krätzel, M. Kühleitner, and W.G. Nowak [10], and to M. Huxley’s book [7] where he exposed his breakthrough in the planar case (”Discrete Hardy-Littlewood method”). For the case that ∂B is of bounded nonzero Gaussia...

where the summation runs over primes, a is a fixed non-zero integer and r(n) is the number of representations of n as a sum of two squares. This implies the first unconditional proof that there are infinitely many primes of the form p = m+n+1. Huxley and Iwaniec [1] considered primes of the formm+n+1 with (m,n) = 1 in the short interval (x, x+x]. They proved that for θ = 99/100 this interval co...
