ABSTRACT We present mordor (MORphological DecOmposeR), a new algorithm for structural decomposition of simulated galaxies based on stellar kinematics. The code measures the properties up to five components (a thin/cold and thick/warm disc, classical secular bulge, spherical halo), determines bar (if present). A comparison with other algorithms presented in literature yields overall good agreeme...

In recent years, the use of morphological decomposition strategies for Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has become increasingly popular. Systems trained on morphologically decomposed data are often used in combination with standard word-based approaches, and they have been found to yield consistent performance improvements. The present article contributes to this ongoing research endea...

The need for a bootstrapping approach to the morphological decomposition of words in agglutinative languages such as isiZulu is motivated, and the complexities of such an approach are described. We then introduce a generic framework which can be employed for this task, and show a number of simple examples of its use for the decomposition of words in isiZulu. Initial thoughts on the process of r...

In this study, we looked at priming eVects produced by a short presentation (47 ms) of morphologically complex pseudowords in French. In Experiment 1, we used as primes semantically interpretable pseudowords made of the grammatical combination of a root and a suYx, such as rapidiWer “to quickify.” In Experiment 2, we used non-morphological pseudowords such as rapiduit, where -uit is an existing...

Presents a new algorithm that utilizes mathematical morphology for pyramidal coding of color images. The authors obtain lossy color image compression by using block truncation coding at the pyramid levels to attain reduced data rates. The pyramid approach is attractive due to low computational complexity, simple parallel implementation, and the ability to produce acceptable color images at mode...

This paper describes an approach how to integrate the decomposition of non-lexicalized word compounds and derivations into the morphological analyzers of a company's NLP product line. The component employs word formation rules and filtering techniques to decompose words, which are not contained in the underlying dictionary database, thereby increasing the average word recognition rate of the mo...

This paper describes the Aalto submission for the German-to-English and the Czechto-English translation tasks of the ACL 2010 Joint Fifth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation and MetricsMATR. Statistical machine translation has focused on using words, and longer phrases constructed from words, as tokens in the system. In contrast, we apply different morphological decompositions of words ...
