The 2013 Association for Computational Linguistics MultiLing Pilot posed a task to measure the performance of multilingual, single-document, summarization systems using a dataset derived from many Wikipedias. The objective of the pilot was to assess automatic summarization of multilingual text documents outside the news domain and the potential of using Wikipedia articles for such research. Thi...

THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE KENTUCKY PILOT PROJECT OF ALLOWING PRIMARY PCI AT HOSPITALS WITHOUT ONSITE CABG

Pilot-scale cooling towers can be used to evaluate corrosion, scaling, and biofouling control strategies when using particular cooling system makeup water and particular operating conditions. To study the potential for using a number of different impaired waters as makeup water, a pilot-scale system capable of generating 27,000 kJ∕h heat load and maintaining recirculating water flow with a Reyn...

This pilot study explores a new approach to automatic detection of figurative language. Our working hypothesis is that the problem of automatic identification of idioms (and metaphors, to some extent) can be reduced to the problem of identifying an outlier in a dataset. By an outlier we mean an observation which appears to be inconsistent with the remainder of a set of data.
