The quality of the part-of-speech (PoS) annotation in a corpus is crucial for the development of PoS taggers. In this paper, we experiment with three complementary methods for automatically detecting errors in the PoS annotation for the Icelandic Frequency Dictionary corpus. The first two methods are language independent and we argue that the third method can be adapted to other morphologically...

An established method for MWE extraction is the combined use of previously identified POS-patterns and association measures. However, the selection of such POSpatterns is rarely debated. Focusing on Italian MWEs containing at least one adjective, we set out to explore how candidate POS-patterns listed in relevant literature and lexicographic sources compare with POS sequences exhibited by stati...

Although many researchers have verified the superiority of Support Vector Machine (SVM) on text categorization tasks, some recent papers have reported much lower performance of SVM based text categorization methods when focusing on all types of parts of speech (POS) as input words and treating large numbers of training documents. This was caused by the overfitting problem that SVM sometimes sel...

For any retailer, managing information technology (IT) costs is fundamental. Successful retailing is increasingly dependent on technology-driven innovation, but that does not change the fact that resources are limited. Funding those innovations requires getting the most out of the infrastructure, including point-ofsale (POS) systems. At the same time, more and more is being expected of POS syst...

We compared the activities of antifungal agents against a wide range of yeasts and filamentous fungi. The methodology of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) for yeasts and spore-forming molds was applied; and a total of 349 clinical isolates of Candida spp., other yeast species, Aspergillus spp., and nondermatophyte non-Aspergillus spp. were investigated. The...

The subject of groundness analysis for (constraint) logic programs has been widely studied, and interesting domains have been proposed. Pos has been recognized as the most suitable domain for capturing the kind of dependencies arising in groundness analysis, and Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (ROBDDs) are generally accepted to be the most efficient representation for Pos. Unfortunatel...

Thai part of speech (POS) tagging is a challenged problem in natural language processing. Many techniques including artificial neural network techniques are suggested for POS tagging. Research works in Thai POS tagging so far only focused on assigning word types, but not word features. This paper proposed a technique using multilayer perception for tagging word features in Thai sentences. The f...

POS Tagging is the process of assigning a correct POS tag (can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, or other lexical category marker) to each word of the sentence. POS taggers are developed by modeling the morpho-syntactic structure of natural language text. We attempted to improve the accuracy of existing Telugu POS taggers by using an voting algorithm. The three Telugu Pos taggers viz., (1) Ru...

PURPOSE This study compares clinical and radiographic outcomes of operatively managed pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures between patients treated by pediatric orthopedists (POs) and patients treated by non-pediatric orthopedists (NPOs). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients with surgically managed supracondylar humerus fractures was conducted. For clin...

OBJECTIVE The partially threaded cancellous lag screw (PTLS) could not provide maximum compressive force (C(MAX)) for compression due to compromised pullout strength (POS). The combined partially threaded cancellous lag screw (CPTLS) could provide higher C(MAX) than PTLS. However, the change of POS at the point of C(MAX) when using CPTLS for compression has never been explored. The aim of this ...
