Various studies within NLP and Semantic Web use the so-called Google count, which is the hit count on a query returned by a search engine (not only Google). However, sometimes the Google count is unreliable, especially when the count is large, or when advanced operators such as OR and NOT are used. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that estimates the Google count robustly. It (i) uses...

The present article investigated the learnability problems related to the acquisition of count-mass distinction of English nominals by Persian L2 learners. The theoretical underpinning of the study is the interpretability hypothesis (Tsimpli & Dimitrakopou...

Many factors contribute to Web site performance, most of which are at least partially outside the control of the site designer. Web page download times depend on page design, on Web server and client hardware and software configurations, and on the performance characteristics of the Internet route connecting a client to the site [Neil2000]. Of these, only page design is truly under the site des...
