In this paper, we study semantic role labelling (SRL), a subtask of semantic parsing of natural language sentences and its application for the Vietnamese language. We present our effort in building Vietnamese PropBank, the first Vietnamese SRL corpus and a software system for labelling semantic roles of Vietnamese texts. In particular, we present a novel constituent extraction algorithm in the ...

Background: Epstein-barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) plays a crucial role in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the most common cancer of head and neck cancer in Asian countries with high incidents. Sequence variations are of high frequency within the functionally important domains of EBNA-1, which have been classified into five subtypes: Phenotype (P)-ala, P-thr, V-val, V-leu and V-pro and ar...

Bilingual corpora play an important role as resources not only for machine translation research and development but also for studying tasks in comparative linguistics. Manual annotation of word alignments is of significance to provide a gold-standard for developing and evaluating machine translation models and comparative linguistics tasks. This paper presents research on building an English-Vi...

In this paper we present the Vietnamese specialities in word boundary, morphology, part of speech that must be addressed in information retrieval relative tasks. Our experiments have shown how different types of Vietnamese index terms: " tiӃng " , words, compound words, combination of word and compound word contribute to Vietnamese text processing and retrieval. We also introduce our Vietnamese...

Background The Government of Romania commissioned international technical assistance to help unpacking the causes of arrears in selected public hospitals. Emphases were placed on the governance-related determinants of the hospital performance in the context of the Romanian health system.   Methods The assessment was structured around a public hospital governance framewor...

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a flaviviral disease of public health concern in many parts of Asia. JE often occurs in large epidemics, has a high case-fatality ratio and, among survivors, frequently causes persistent neurological sequelae and mental disabilities. In 1997, the Vietnamese government initiated immunization campaigns targeting all children aged 1-5 years. Three doses of ...

The performance of speech recognition systems will be improved if the corpus is organized in the specialized domain and is applied in a consistent way for speech recognition in specific situations. Vietnamese dialects are various. The building of corpus for Vietnamese dialect is the first step for implementing the system of dialect identification used for increasing the performance of Vietnames...

This study aimed to compare the antibiogram phenotype and carriage of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of 97 porcine multidrug-resistant (MDR) enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolates obtained from Vietnam and 117 porcine MDR-ETEC obtained from Australia, two countries with different antimicrobial regulation systems. An antimicrobial resistance index (ARI) was calculated to quantif...

We present for the first time a sentence boundary detection system for identifying sentence boundaries in Vietnamese texts. The system is based on a maximum entropy model. The training procedure requires no hand-crafted rules, lexicon, or domain-specific information. Given a corpus annotated with sentence boundaries, the model learns to classify each occurrence of potential end-of-sentence punc...
