Randall A. Helzerman, Mary P. Harper, and Carla B. Zoltowski School of Electrical Engineering Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 Abstract We have extended Maruyama's [4, 2, 3] constraint dependency grammar (CDG) to process a lattice of sentence hypotheses instead of separate text strings. A post-processor to a speech recognizer producing N-best hypotheses generates the word lattice repr...

As parallelism in microprocessors becomes mainstream, new programming languages and environments are emerging to meet the challenges of parallel programming. To support research on these languages, we are developing a lowlevel language infrastructure called Pillar (derived from Parallel Implementation Language). Although Pillar programs are intended to be automatically generated from source pro...

We describe programming language constructs that facilitate the application of modular design techniques in parallel programming. These constructs allow us to isolate resource management and processor scheduling decisions from the speciication of individual modules, which can themselves encapsulate design decisions concerned with concurrency, communication, process mapping, and data distributio...

Some processes are not easy to be programmed from scratch for parallel machines (clusters), but can be easily split on simple steps. Makefile::Parallel is a tool which lets users specify how processes depend on each other. The language syntax resembles the well known Makefile[1] format, but instead of specifying files or targets dependencies, Makefile::Parallel specifies processes (or jobs) dep...

The paper presents the methodology and the outcome of the compilation and the processing of the Bulgarian X-language Parallel Corpus (Bul-X-Cor) which was integrated as part of the Bulgarian National Corpus (BulNC). We focus on building representative parallel corpora which include a diversity of domains and genres, reflect the relations between Bulgarian and other languages and are consistent ...

The Parallel Object-Oriented Specification Language (POOSL) is an expressive modelling language for hardware/software systems [10]. It was originally defined in [7] as an object-oriented extension of process algebra CCS [6], supporting (conditional) synchronous message passing between (hierarchically structured) asynchronous concurrent processes. Meanwhile, POOSL has been extended with real-tim...

dream should be considered as a kind of cognitive ability that is formed parallel to other cognitive capabilities like language. on the other hand, multiple sclerosis (ms) is a complex disease that can involve different aspects of our cognition. therefore, ms may influence patients' dreams. in fact, we do not know what the importance of dream is in ms, but further studies may introduce dream an...

Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries (PTD) are translation resources that can be obtained automatically from parallel corpora. Although this process is simple, it requires the existence of a parallel corpora for the involved languages. Minoritized languages have a limited amount of available resources. For example, while they can have a few parallel corpora, the number of parallel language-pa...

Large-scale parallel corpora are indispensable to train highly accurate machine translators. However, manually constructed large-scale parallel corpora are not freely available in many language pairs. In previous studies, training data have been expanded using a pseudoparallel corpus obtained using machine translation of the monolingual corpus in the target language. However, in lowresource lan...
