Linguistic knowledge plays an important role on phrase movement in statistical machine translation. To efficiently incorporate linguistic knowledge into phrase reordering, we propose a new approach: Linguistically Annotated Reordering (LAR). In LAR, we build hard hierarchical skeletons and inject soft linguistic knowledge from source parse trees to nodes of hard skeletons during translation. Th...

Under the global pressure of information technology, the adoption of webbased technologies in public administration has created a new governmentand-citizen interface. However, whether e-government will unambiguously lead to a more transparent, interactive, open and hence, accountable, government remains a central question. Applying a framework of global pressure effects on bureaucratic change, ...

Pattern recognition in histopathological image analysis requires new techniques and methods. Various techniques have been presented and some state of the art techniques have been applied to complex textural data in histological images. In this paper, we compare the novel Adaptive Discriminant Wavelet Packet Transform (ADWPT) with a few prominent techniques in texture analysis namely Local Binar...

Trust and confidence are becoming key issues in diverse applications such as ecommerce, social networks, semantic sensor web, semantic web information retrieval systems, etc. Both humans and machines use some form of trust to make informed and reliable decisions before acting. In this work, we briefly review existing work on trust networks, pointing out some of its drawbacks. We then propose a ...

By identifying a configuration of factors that impact the degree reform implementation, this article offers more accurate view local government’s implementation capacity than earlier studies. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis in 11 governments was used to test how organizational jointly produced right context for implementation. The results indicate is largely dependent on following fa...

This paper concerns the micro-local and qualitative analysis of fractional Zener wave equation. The classical Gevrey-type front sets fundamental solution are determined, questions on dispersion, dissipation, propagation speed packet shape addressed.

Yeap and Jefferies [1] show how a description of each local space is computed and by realising how these local spaces are connected, a cognitive map of one’s environment will emerge. However, roboticists have shown that it is difficult to compute such a map with precise metric information. In this paper, we show some preliminary ideas as to how a qualitative map could be constructed out of loca...

Schemes for the extraction of qualitative shape information from stereo tend to relegate the solution of the correspondence problem to a preprocessing stage and to assume that their input is provided in the form of a matched image pair { a disparity map [1]. The disparity map is a rich source of shape information, which allows the recovery of depth on a ratio scale [2] even when the camera geom...
