Incremental text-to-speech systems aim at synthesizing a text ’on-the-fly’, while the user is typing a sentence. In this context, this article addresses the problem of the part-of-speech tagging (POS, i.e. lexical category) which is a critical step for accurate grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and prosody estimation. Here, the main challenge is to estimate the POS of a given word without knowing ...

Part of Speech (POS) tagging is the task of labeling each word in a sentence with its appropriate syntactic category called part of speech. POS tagging is a very important preprocessing task for language processing activities. In this paper, we report about our work on POS tagging for Bengali by combining different POS tagging systems using three weighted voting techniques. The individual POS t...

This paper shows the best operators for sumof-products expressions. We first describe conditions of functions for product and sum operations. We examine all two-variable functions and select those that meet the conditions and then evaluate the number of product terms needed in the minimum sum-of-products expressions when each combination of selected product and sum functions is used. As a resul...

Organizational Citizenship Behavior towards Environment (OCBE) is a construct that increasingly being studied to explain voluntary green behaviors by employees. Performance of OCBEs employees has been associated with positive outcomes such as improved environmental sustainability organizations. Hence, promoting more these important for organizations both from an and corporate perspective. Sever...

To investigate the effect of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the phagocytic activity in iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cells, purified porcine photoreceptor outer segments (POS) were applied to cultured IPE cells for three hours. To measure phagocytic activities, bound and total POS were differentially stained using a double immunofluorescence staining method. BDNF increased the bind...

background the involved neurotransmitter pathways in the postoperative shivering (pos) are poorly understood. recently, 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-ht3) receptor antagonists have been reported to prevent pos. we investigated the effect of ondansetron, a 5-ht3 antagonist that is used to treat postoperative nausea and vomiting, on shivering. objectives this study aimed to compare the efficacy of ond...

BACKGROUND Although several studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and job performance (JP), it remains unclear whether this relationship is appropriate for faculty members at Chinese universities. The objectives of this study were to (a) examine the correlation between POS andJP; (b) identify the predictors of POS, including d...

The article takes a step back and examines the notion of part of speech (POS), arguing that POS tagsets should be constructed more carefully and, in effect, should be light in at least three senses: 1) they should pay less heed to the traditionally ill-defined notion of POS, 2) they should adopt clear POS delimitation criteria based on solely formal (morphological and morphosyntactic) propertie...

The utility of using morphological features in part-of-speech (POS) tagging is well established in the literature. However, the usefulness of exploiting information about POS tags for morphological segmentation is less clear. In this paper we study the POS-dependent morphological segmentation in the Adaptor Grammars framework. We experiment with three different scenarios: without POS tags, with...

We present a HMM part-of-speech tagging method which is particularly suited for POS tagsets with a large number of fine-grained tags. It is based on three ideas: (1) splitting of the POS tags into attribute vectors and decomposition of the contextual POS probabilities of the HMM into a product of attribute probabilities, (2) estimation of the contextual probabilities with decision trees, and (3...
