Technical reports are available electronically at hundreds of internet sites around the world. A major impediment to their utility in computer science research is the difficulty in locating reports that are relevant to a particular area. We describe the implementation of a digital library for computer science technical reports that indexes every word in each report, covers a majority of compute...

The summary and key ideas of a technical paper is textual in the form of keywords, abstracts, introductions and conclusions. More can certainly be done to improve the presentation of information in long papers, especially ones with long sentences. We present representations of a technical paper at three granularities the document level, the paragraph level, and the sentence level, to aid in the...

In the research field of machine translation of patent documents, the issue of acquiring technical term translation equivalent pairs automatically from parallel patent documents is one of those most important. We take an approach of utilizing the phrase table of a state-of-the-art phrase-based statistical machine translation model. In this task, we consider situations where a technical term is ...

Word-based relations among technical documents are immensely useful information but often hidden in a large amount of scientific publications. This work presents a method to apply latent semantic indexing in frequent itemset mining to discover potential relations among scientific publications. In this work, two weighting schemes, tf and tfidf are investigated with the exploitation of latent sem...

The paper addresses issues of knowledge markup with authoring tools in which users construct representations of their knowledge. It attempts to contribute to the problem by suggesting a methodology to author new documents in a way that they contain markup directly. The methodology is illustrated with a case study, knowledge markup with an AutoPat tool. AutoPat is an application for authoring te...

The purpose of patent translation is to correctly translate patent documents from one language to another language semantically and syntactically. In this paper, we view patent translation as technical document translation given their domain similarity in terms of their terminologies and writing styles. From this viewpoint, we simply perform patent translation using a technical domain MT system...

Alternating horizontal and vertical projection profiles are extracted from nested sub-blocks of scanned page images of technical documents. The thresholded profile strings are parsed using the compiler utilities Lex and Yacc. The significant document components are demarcated and identified by the recursive application of block grammars. Backtracking for error recovery and branch and bound for ...

In the field of technical documentation there are currently a lot of XML-based documentations that exist or are under development. Some of them are based on DTDs or XMLSchemas that define the structure of XML documents of a special document type, the majority of them don’t. Whereas in the context of webpublishing ontologies have increased as a very useful and powerful method towards a more effe...

In software engineering, documentation and models are both broad concepts which attract varying approaches attitudes. Moreover, as the title indicates, they overlap: in some circumstances, an artefact thought of a model can serve to document project, while others, be manipulated by model-driven engineering tools just like any other kind model. this short paper we briefly explore these issues pr...

We give a detailed account of the recent retrieval of a consistent amount (about 600 pages) of documents written by Enrico Fermi and/or his collaborators, coming from different sources previously unexplored. These documents include articles, patents, reports, notes on scientific and technical meetings and other papers, mainly testifying Fermi’s activity in the 1940s about nuclear pile physics a...
