As free online encyclopedias with massive volumes of content, Wikipedia and Wikidata are key to many Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as information retrieval, knowledge base building, machine translation, text classification, summarization. In this paper, we introduce WikiDes, a novel dataset generate short descriptions articles for the problem The consists over 80k English sample...

The Paramax MUC-4 system's architecture consists of three main processing components . An initial preprocessing component generates a set of CLIPS facts in which words, sentences, and paragraphs are identified . This component also computes the likelihood of relevant types of events being described in a given text . A core, rule-based analysis component implemented in CLIPS extracts whatever in...

A logical formulation system functions to verify consistency of legal documents, and to eliminate inconsistent parts from a set of articles. We are studying legal document analysis methods, and in this paper we focus on how to deal with multiple sentences which constitute a paragraph of an article in a law. They need to be processed together because they are semantically dependent on each other...

This paper proposes a way of preparing and recording a speech corpus for unit selection text-to-speech speech synthesis driven by symbolic prosody. The research is focused on a phonetically and prosodically rich sentence selection algorithm. Symbolic description on a deep prosody level is used to enrich the phonetic representation of sentences (by respecting the prosodeme types phones appear in...

Despite the role writing plays in learning a foreign language, many students do not show much interest in taking an active part in writing classes (Myint, 1997). Thus different activities have been proposed to motivate students to write one of which is dialogue journal writing, and the present work tries to investigate the possible effect(s) of such activity on writing ability of a group of Eng...

The paper presents an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm for automatic generation of parallel and quasi-parallel data from any degree of comparable corpora ranging from parallel to weakly comparable. Specifically, we address the problem of extracting related textual units (documents, paragraphs or sentences) relying on the hypothesis that, in a given corpus, certain pairs of translation eq...
