In this paper, we propose a practical method to detect Japanese homophone errors in Japanese texts. It is very important to detect homophone errors in Japanese revision systems because Japanese texts suffer from homophone errors frequently. In order to detect homophone errors, we have only to solve the homophone problem. We can use the decision list to do it because the homophone problem is equ...

Like the sequence of words in written language, comic book page layouts direct images into a deliberate reading sequence. Conventional wisdom would expect that comic panels follow the order of text: left-to-right and down - a "Z-path" - though several layouts can violate this order, such as Gestalt groupings of panels that deny a Z-path of reading. To examine how layouts pressure readers to cho...

Furthermore, historical texts are not passed down through the centuries in their entirety but rather contain lacunae and fragmentary words. This makes automatic post-correction more difficult on historical texts than on modern ones. We used two tools to create languageand even documentspecific recognition patterns (or so-called models) to recognize printed Coptic texts. Coptic is the last stage...

We present an analysis of parser performance on speech data, comparing word type and token frequency distributions with written data, and evaluating parse accuracy by length of input string. We find that parser performance tends to deteriorate with increasing length of string, more so for spoken than for written texts. We train an alternative parsing model with added speech data and demonstrate...

This portal will be composed of two parts: texts on line and a search and retrieval engine linked to medical law ontology. 1) The texts on line are: texts written by the specialists in their field on particular themes in medical law and which are stored in the server. These texts are called “studies”. A study includes an abstract, a bibliography and a glossary (legal, technical). original texts...

Negation is often found more frequent in dialogue than commonly written texts, such as literary texts. Furthermore, the scope and focus of negation depends on context in dialogues than other forms of texts. Existing negation datasets have focused on non-dialogue texts such as literary texts where the scope and focus of negation is normally present within the same sentence where the negation is ...

The STAM project addresses the problem of automatic transcription of SMS language and especially the translation of messages written in Arabic dialect. The objective of STAM system is to automatically translate texts written in SMS language in a dialect spoken in the Arab World (source language) into a French text (target language), interpretable and understandable. Mots-clés : Dialecte, SMS, T...

over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (tfc) membranes. in advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (tfn) membranes. however, in the last generation of tfns, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...
