The existence of huge volumes of documents written in multiple languages in Internet lead to investigate novel approaches to deal with information of this kind. We propose to use a statistical approach in order to tackle the problem of dealing with crosslingual natural language tasks. In particular, we apply the IBM alignment model 1 with the aim of obtaining a statistical bilingual dictionary ...

This article describes our approach for the Author Identification task introduced in PAN 2015. Given a set of documents written by the same author and a questioned document with an unknown author, the task is to decide whether the questioned document was written by the same author as the other documents or not. Our approach uses Random Forest and a feature-encoding scheme based on the Universal...

This paper describes a package of programs for handling and analyzing nucleic acid and protein sequences using the Apple Macintosh microcomputer. There are three important features of these programs: first, because of the now classical Macintosh interface the programs can be easily used by persons with little or no computer experience. Second, it is possible to save all the data, written in an ...

In this paper we introduce a system that automatically summarizes multiple biomedical documents relevant to a question. The system extracts biomedical and general concepts by utilizing concept-level knowledge from domain-specific and domain-independent sources. Semantic role labeling, semantic subgraph-based sentence selection and automatic post-editing are involved in the process of finding th...

6 This paper proposes to perform authorship analysis using the Fast Compression Distance (FCD), a similarity measure based on compression with dictionaries directly extracted from the written texts. The FCD computes a similarity between two documents through an effective binary search on the intersection set between the two related dictionaries. In the reported experiments the proposed method i...

The CIPS' practice documents are written as a statement in time. They are a collection of views on good practice within a particular subject area and are intended to provide direction, with some guidance for context and interest. The reader is encouraged to use the CIPS practice documents for their own purposes, such as writing policy statements, guidance or procedures. This particular practice...

OBJECTIVES This study examines the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine related physical risks disclosed in documents available to parents, legal guardians, and girls in Canadian jurisdictions with school-based HPV vaccine programs. DESIGN AND SAMPLE We conducted an online search for program related HPV vaccine risk/benefit documents for all 13 Canadi...

Literacy cannot be separated from peoples' sociocultural contexts and from their self-conceptualizations within those contexts. A person's literacy functioning will depend upon the role literacy plays in meeting one's goals and in the resulting construction of one's self-image. Within context, not only written language, but the interaction between written and oral language modes becomes importa...
