We introduce and analyze a new statistical ensemble of low-density parity-check convolutional (LDC) codes. The result of the analysis are bounds, such as a lower bound for the free distance and upper bounds for the burst error probability of the LDC codes.

The unit for research into reading that we set up in Liverpool is just over a year old now. It is called CRILS – the Centre for Research into Reading, Information and Linguistic Systems. Odd though perhaps it may seem at first, we came out of a department for the study of English literature and into a faculty of Health and Life Sciences, to widen our remit across disciplines and in relation to ...

This paper describes a method for finding struc-rural matching between parallel sentences of two languages, (such as Japanese and English). Parallel sentences are analyzed based on unification grammars, and structural matching is performed by making use of a similarity measure of word pairs in the two languages. Syntactic ambiguities are resolved simultaneously in the matching process. The resu...

(2) This property of discrete infinity characterizes EVERY human language; none consists of a finite set of sentences. The unchanged central goal of linguistic theory over the last fifty years has been and remains to give a precise, formal characterization of this property and then to explain how humans develop (or grow) and use discretely infinite linguistic systems. (Epstein and Hornstein 200...

Linguistic data summarization targets the description of patterns emerging in data by means of linguistic expressions. Just as human beings do, computers can use natural language to represent and fuse heterogeneous data in a multi criteria decision making environment. Linguistic data description is particularly well suited for applications in which there is a necessity of understanding data at ...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

cancer stem cells (cscs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. this minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...

This paper describes the system developed by the UBham team for the SemEval2014 Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis task (Task 4). We present an approach based on deep linguistic processing techniques and resources, and explore the parameter space of these techniques applied to the different stages in this task and examine possibilities to exploit interdependencies between them.
