This paper presents recent results of the ongoing project aimed at creating the nominal database of the Hungarian WordNet. We present 9 different automatic methods, developed for linking Hungarian nouns to WN 1.6 synsets. Nominal entries are obtained from two different machine-readable dictionaries, a bilingual EnglishHungarian and an explanatory monolingual (Hungarian). The results are evaluat...

In this paper Brill’s rule-based PoS tagger is tested and adapted to Hungarian. It is shown that the present system does not obtain as high accuracy for Hungarian as it does for English because of the structural difference between these languages. Hungarian has rich morphology, is agglutinative with inflectional characteristics and has free word order. The tagger has the greatest difficulties w...

The ‘Hungarian inventory control model’ was initiated by Prékopa [1965. Reliability equation for an inventory problem and its asymptotic solutions. In: Prékopa, A. (Ed.), Application of the Mathematics to Economics. Publication House of the Hungarian Academy of Science, pp. 317–327] and Ziermann [1964. Application of Smirnov’s theorems for an inventory control problem. Publications of the Mathe...

The molecular defects in the catalase gene, levels of m-RNA and properties of the residual catalase studied by scientists are reviewed in human (Japanese, Swiss and Hungarian) and non-human (mouse and beagle dog) acatalasemia with reference to the bioinformatics. Japanese acatalasemia-I, the G to A transition at the fifth position of intron 4 of the catalase gene, limited the correct splicing o...

We present a language-independent method for automatic diacritic restoration. The method focuses on low computational resource usage, making it suitable for mobile devices. We train a decision tree classifier on character-based features without involving a dictionary. Since our features require at most a few characters of context, this approach can be applied to very short text segments such as...

It is an honour that a Hungarian central banker has been invited to represent the out EU countries in this panel. Maybe I will not make a big mistake if I assume that this is somehow linked to the fact the Hungary is the President of the EU Council in the first half of 2011. I will focus on three 3 major topics: governance, efficiency and integration. I will speak primarily about Hungarian aspe...

In this paper, we describe the first English–Hungarian parallel corpus annotated for light verb constructions, which contains 14,261 sentence alignment units. Annotation principles and statistical data on the corpus are also provided, and English and Hungarian data are contrasted. On the basis of corpus data, a database containing pairs of English–Hungarian light verb constructions has been cre...
