The JMdict/EDICT Japanese-English Dictionary is a freely-available dictionary distributed in XML (JMdict)and text (EDICT) formats. It is widely used as a source of lexical material in dictionary systems and text-processing projects. We propose two refinements to make the dictionary more computationally tractable: marking entries where the English is not a translation equivalent and expanding co...

Dictionaries will always be incomplete; sometimes a word will acquire a new sense in a technical eld, and new words are being added to the language all the time. This paper will discuss our comparisons between a machine-readable dictionary and various information retrieval test collections. We will rst report on the number of words found in the dictionary, and how much improvement is gained by ...

In this paper, we propose a new sampling strategy for hyperspectral signals that is based on dictionary learning and singular value decomposition (SVD). Specifically, we first learn a sparsifying dictionary from training spectral data using dictionary learning. We then perform an SVD on the dictionary and use the first few left singular vectors as the rows of the measurement matrix to obtain th...

Dictionary editing requires enormous time to dis-cuss whether a word should be listed in a dictionary or not. So as to define a dictionary word, this study employs the number of word users as a novel metrics for selecting a dictionary word. In order to obtain the word user, we used about 0.25 billion tweets of approximately 100,000 people published for five months. This study compared the class...
