This paper describes the Language Technology Resource Center (LTRC), a U.S. Government website for providing information and tools for users of languages (e.g., translators, analysts, etc.) The LTRC provides information on a broad range of products and tools, and provides a means for product developers and researchers to provide the U.S. Government and the public with information about their wo...

Consider a P2P network consisting of a set of peers P and a set of services S, whereby each peer p is interested in one or several services and/or offers different services. Thereby, providing a service consumes a scarce resource. We denote the capacity of this resource at peer p as Cp. To differentiate between service providing and service requesting peers in our model we introduce the set of ...

This paper describes a new resource type, broadcast narrow band speech for use in large scale language recognition research and technology development. After providing the rational for this new resource type, the paper describes the collection, segmentation, auditing procedures and data formats used. Along the way, it addresses issues of defining language and dialect in found data and how groun...

We present a simple method for evergrowing extraction of predicate paraphrases from news headlines in Twitter. Analysis of the output of ten weeks of collection shows that the accuracy of paraphrases with different support levels is estimated between 60-86%. We also demonstrate that our resource is to a large extent complementary to existing resources, providing many novel paraphrases. Our reso...

AIMS Many people who use drugs (PWUD) have multiple health and social needs, and research suggests that this population is increasingly accessing emergency departments (EDs) and shelters for health care and housing. This qualitative study explored the practices of those working in EDs and shelters when providing services to PWUD, with a particular focus on key challenges in service provision. ...

this commentary explores some of the issues raised by gilbert et al.short communication, morality and markets in the nhs. the increasing role of market mechanisms and the changing types of healthcare providers together with the use of choice and competition to drive improvements in quality in the national health service (nhs), all have important ethical implications. in order for the nhs to con...

We present a new architecture for bufferless, asynchronous all-optical self-routing network combining an efficient physical layer structure and conflict-preventing signaling protocol for providing lossless communication with optimum resource utilization and QoS differentiation.

In this issue of Neuron, Madisen et al. (2015) report the construction of several new transgenic mouse lines that apply intersectional genetic tools to achieve high levels of expression and cell-type specificity, providing a useful resource for future studies.

This paper proposes and evaluates a new mechanism for I/O and network rate policing. The goal of the proposed system is to provide an simple, yet effective way to enforce resource limits on target classes of jobs in a system. The basic approach is useful for several types of systems including running background jobs on idle workstations, and providing resource limits on network intensive applic...

While the Grid is becoming a common word in the context of distributed computing, users are still experiencing long phases of adaptability and increased complexity when using the system. Although users have access to multiple resources, selecting the optimal resource for their application and appropriately launching the job is a tedious process that not only proves difficult for the naïve user,...
