It is possible to construct an unsupervised learning system for vowel harmony, which makes accessible general-isations. Furthermore, such a learning system can be constructed with little built-in knowledge, and, consequently, be applicable to data from a wide range of domains. This paper presents a learning system which fulllls these criteria, and examines the results of applying an implementat...


 This study aims to analyze the role of Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in maintaining inter-religious harmony Aceh Singkil Regency, including direction government policies supporting performance FKUB maximize its as a religious institution. research uses sociological approach based on conflict and consensus theory. Researchers have conducted observations interviews with administrators, le...

This paper examines theoretical analyses of vowel harmony in the light of data from Warlpiri, a language of Central Australia. Modern analyses account for vowel harmony in terms of a constraint requiring feature agreement within a particular domain (e.g. Backovic, 2000; Lombardi, 1996). These analyses predict that exclusively suffixing languages should exhibit only rightwards harmonies. They al...

Indonesia is a country with diverse religions, making it the world's most multicultural, plural, and heterogeneous country. The actual conditions are still not in line ideals, as conflicts between religious communities common. Tolerance perennial issue, owing to diversity of religions among Indonesians, which leads conflicts. Therefore, managing plurality society, tolerance, equality, cooperati...

This paper describes and demonstrates modifications of the harmony search method to support multimodal structural optimization. Several researchers have recognized the potential of population-based optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, to support multimodal optimization, that is, generating a range of good alternative solutions, rather than a single b...

At first sight the word harmony does not seem to be one most people would associate with disability. Harmony has a very specific meaning in musical terms, the combination of notes to form sequences of chords which follow accepted patterns and rules. The New Oxford Companion to Music defines harmony as the element of agreement in music, as opposed to counterpoint, in which parts move against eac...

This paper proposes an analysis of nasal harmony within the framework of Optimal Domains Theory (ODT), and demonstrates that transparency and opacity derive from principled constraints that limit the realization of Nasal on potential anchors. The analysis di ers fundamentally from the autosegmental analysis in two respects: it does not treat harmony as feature spreading, and it does not use fea...

As in visual processing, we speculated that, in music processing, different brain regions would activate according to the mode of music listening. Using motets by a famous composer, we studied changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with positron emission tomography associated with concentrating on the alto-part within the harmony (alto-part-listening condition) compared to listening to ...
