Structural matching originally introduced by Steven Vere in the mid seventies was a popular sub eld of inductive concept learning in the late seventies and early eighties Despite various attempts to formalize and implement the notion of most speci c generalisation of two productions several problems remained These include using background knowledge the non uniqueness of most speci c generalisat...

Two experiments explore children's spontaneous labeling of novel objects as a method to study early lexical access. The experiments also provide new evidence on children's attention to object shape when labeling objects. In Experiment 1, the spontaneous productions of 21 23- to 28-month-olds (mean 26;28) shown a set of novel, unnamed objects were analyzed both in terms of the specific words sai...

The aim of this study is to compare two different productions of Albanian and Canadian B-complex multivitamin tablets on the Albanian pharmaceutical market through various ‘in vitro’ pharmacopeias tests and argue about the regulatory legislative framework of drugstore sale of these products. Identification, weight uniformity, hardness and disintegration tests are carried out for the specific vi...

We present a novel pruning method for context-free parsing that increases efficiency by disallowing phrase-level unary productions in CKY chart cells spanning a single word. Our work is orthogonal to recent work on “closing” chart cells, which has focused on multi-word constituents, leaving span-1 chart cells unpruned. We show that a simple discriminative classifier can learn with high accuracy...

Like many current TTS systems the AT&T German text -tospeech system is based on the methods of unit selection and concatenative synthesis [1]. This paper highlights efforts to improve TTS quality by closely matching the speakers' original productions with linguistic descriptions. On the segmental level this is achieved by adjusting the speakers' individual productions to an established, general...

The top-charm associated productions via ee, e−γ and γγ collisions at linear colliders, which are extremely suppressed in the Standard Model (SM), could be significantly enhanced in some extensions of the SM. In this article we calculate the full contribution of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) to these productions and then compare the results with the existing predictions of the SM, the...

The paper presents the graph grammar based multi-thread multi-frontal parallel direct solver for one and two dimensional Finite Difference Method (FDM). The multi-frontal solver algorithm has been expressed by graph grammar productions. Each production represents an atomic task that internally must be executed in serial. The sequence of graph grammar productions modeling the execution of the so...
