This paper presents a system that generates Basque equivalents to terms that describe disorders in SNOMED CT. This task has been performed using Finite-State transducers and a medical prefixes and suffixes lexicon. This lexicon is composed of English-Basque translation pairs, and it is used both for the identification of the affixes of the English term and for the translation of them into Basqu...

Background It is customary, in population genetics studies, to consider Basques as the direct descendants of the Paleolithic Europeans. However, until now there is not an irrefutable genetic proof to support this supposition. Even studies based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), an ideal molecule to construct datable maternal genealogies, have failed in this attempt. It could be possible that incomi...

This paper presents a methodology for adding a layer of semantic annotation to a syntactically annotated corpus of Basque (EPEC), in terms of semantic roles. The proposal we make here is the combination of three resources: the model used in the PropBank project (Palmer et al., 2005), an in-house database with syntactic/semantic subcategorization frames for Basque verbs (Aldezabal, 2004) and the...

This work, divided into Part I and II, describes the development of GorUP a Semantic Speech Recognition System in the Basque context. Part I analyses crosslingual approaches oriented to under-resourced languages and Part II the development of the Language Identification system. During the development, data optimization methods and Soft Computing methodologies oriented to complex environment are...
