We present work on a verse-composition assistant for composing, checking correctness of, and singing traditional Basque bertsoak—impromptu verses on particular themes. A performing bertsolari—a verse singer in the Basque Country—must adhere to strict rules that dictate the format and content of the verses sung. To help the aspiring bertsolari, we provide a tool that includes a web interface tha...

Despite of the existence of high quality unit selection speech synthesizers, they are based on a reading style approach. However, new applications such as Speech-to-Speech Translation or Speech User Interfaces demand a talking style which is more natural in these contexts. Disfluencies are a major characteristic of talking style so that it is convenient to be able to generate disfluent speech. ...

the household of the prophet (a) have played a significant role in explaining and interpreting the verses of qur'an. in addition to shia interpreters, sunni interpreters too have benefited much from these interpretations. they mostly refer to the virtues and the high status of the household (a) in their interpretations that show the elevated position of ahl al-bayt (as) in the interpretati...

Translating programs into continuation-passing style is a well-studied tool to explicitly deal with the control structure of programs. This useful, for example, compilation. In typed setting, there also logical interpretation such translation as an embedding classical logic intuitionistic logic. A naturally arising question whether inverse back direct style. The answer this depends on how defin...

RULE205 The 19th-Century Russian Novel The 19th-century novel is widely regarded as the supreme achievement of Russian literature. This course will trace its development from Pushkin's elegant, witty novel in verse, EUGENE ONEGIN, through the grotesque comedies of Gogol, to the realist masterpieces of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, with their complex depiction of human psychology and the philosophical...

In this paper we present a method for automated theorem proving in non-classical logics having as algebraic models bounded distributive lattices with certain types of operators. The idea is to use a Priestley-style representation for distributive lattices with operators in order to define a class of Kripke-style models with respect to which the logic is sound and complete. If this class of Krip...

A logical framework is presented for representing and reasoning about nondeterministic programs that may not terminate. We propose a logic PDL(; ;, ||, d(∗)) which is an extension of dynamic logic such that the program constructors related to demonic operations are introduced in its language. A complete and sound Hilbert-style proof system is given and it is shown that PDL(; ;, ||, d(∗)) is dec...

A logic style known as Phased Logic(PL) is applied to arithmetic circuits. Phased logic is a dual-rail LEDR logic style that allows automatic translation from a clocked netlist to a self-timed implementation. Bit level dataflow, early evaluation and automatic filtering of transient computations within PL circuits can lead to both increased performance and higher energy efficiency than the origi...
