Documents are co-derivative if they share content: for two documents to be co-derived, some portion of one must be derived from the other or some portion of both must be derived from a third document. The current technique for concurrently detecting all co-derivatives in a collection is document fingerprinting, which matches documents based on the hash values of selected document subsequences, ...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Graduate Institute of Linguistics, National Taiwan University, Taipei City, Taiwan Abstract In this paper, we present a proposed system designed for sentiment detection for micro-blog data in Chinese. Our system surprisingly benefits from the lack of word boundary in Chinese writing system and shifts the focus directly to larger and more relevant chunks. W...

The learners of English as a second language generally need many practices on writing English, identification of the mistakes in their English, and feedback hints on how to correct their mistakes. A computer-assisted online system is designed to address these issues in a context of learning from a corpus of parallel English-Chinese corpus of New York Times news articles. In the system, students...

CSP‖B is an approach to combining the process algebra CSP with the formal development method B, enabling the formal description of systems involving both event-oriented and state-oriented aspects of behaviour. The approach provides architectures which enable the application of CSP verification tools and B verification tools to the appropriate parts of the overall description. Previous work has ...

In this paper we pursue two related goals: First, we establish a conceptual link between chunkbased syntactic structures as typically assumed in shallow parsing approaches, as opposed to principle-based syntactic structures as assumed in theoretical linguistics research. This conceptual link emerges from the study of configurational vs. non-configurational languages, their analysis within the L...

Chunked codes are efficient random linear network coding (RLNC) schemes with low computational cost, where the input packets are encoded into small chunks (i.e., subsets of the coded packets). During the network transmission, RLNC is performed within each chunk. In this paper, we first introduce a simple transfer matrix model to characterize the transmission of chunks and derive some basic prop...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) specifications utilize the multiple paths capabilities between the sender and receiver for retransmission of lost data chunks and as a backup in case of primary path failure. Under normal conditions, all data chunks are sent on the primary path chosen by the SCTP user during the transport connection initiation. In this paper, we address in detail vari...

Non-contiguous spectrum chunks allow wireless links to flexibly access a wide amount of bandwidth. MultiChannel Multi-Radio (MC-MR) and Non-Contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NC-OFDM) are the two commercially viable strategies to access non-contiguous spectrum chunks. MC-MR accesses multiple non-contiguous chunks by activating multiple front ends which, in turn, increases th...
