This is the report for the CNGL ILT3 team entry to the HOO shared task. A Naive-Bayes-based classifier was used in the task which involved error detection and correction in ESL exam scripts. Our system placed 11th out of 14 teams for the detection and recognition tasks and 11th out of 13 teams for the correction task on the based on f-score for both preposition and determiner errors.

In this paper, we describe TAMU’s system submitted to the TAC KBP 2017 event nugget detection and coreference resolution task. Our system builds on the statistical and empirical observations made on training and development data. We found that modifiers of event nuggets tend to have unique syntactic distribution. Their parts-of-speech tags and dependency relations provides them essential charac...

In this paper we present the development of a corpus of French newswire texts annotated with enunciative and modal commitment information. The annotation scheme we propose is based on the detection of predicative cues referring to an enunciative and/or modal variation and their scope at a sentence level. We describe how we have improved our annotation guideline by using the evaluation (in terms...

We evaluate the rst order learning system FOIL on a series of text categorization problems. It is shown that FOIL usually forms classiiers with lower error rates and higher rates of precision and recall with a relational encoding than with a propositional encoding. We show that FOIL's performance can be improved by relation selection, a rst order analog of feature selection. Relation selection ...

This paper describes our submission to the ANLP-2014 shared task on automatic Arabic error correction. We present a pipeline approach integrating an error detection model, a combination of characterand word-level translation models, a reranking model and a punctuation insertion model. We achieve an F1 score of 62.8% on the development set of the QALB corpus, and 58.6% on the official test set.

In this work we analyze the expressive manifestation of a child’s engagement behavior on his speech as well as in the speech of psychologist interacting with the child. Visual cues such as facial gestures and gaze are known to be informative of engagement, but here, we examine the less studied speech cues of the children’s non-verbal vocalizations. We study the spectral, prosodic and duration f...

The aim of the present work was to assess the feasibility of Acconon MC8-2 EP/NF as a bioadhesive material for developing controlled release gastroretentive microsponges of loratadine. Modified emulsion-solvent diffusion method was employed for the preparation of microsponges (F1-F9) based on  32 factorial design. The amount of ethyl cellulose (EC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were selected...

There are by now several attempts to make the theory of the field of one element F1 rigorous. In [10] the authors formalize the transition from rings to schemes on a categorial level and apply this machinery to the category of sets to obtain the category of F1-schemes as in [1]. In [3] and [5] the authors extend the definition of rings in order to capture a structure that deserves to be called ...
