This demo paper describes an extension of the Enrycher text enhancement system, which annotates words in context, from a text fragment, with RDF/OWL encoded senses from WordNet and OpenCyc. The extension is based on a general purpose disambiguation algorithm which takes advantage of the structure and/or content of knowledge resources, reaching state-of-the-art performance when compared to other...

A Malay speech synthesizer system will be discussed. This paper will cover the available Malay speech synthesis system, the underlying structure of our system, brief description of crucial modules, general evaluation of the system, the proposed enhancement and future work of Malay text-to-speech system in Computer-Aided Translation Unit (UTMK). The objective is to highlight how our system works...

TimeML, TimeBank, and TTK (TARSQI Project) have been playing an important role in enhancement of IE, QA, and other NLP applications. TimeML is a specification language for events and temporal expressions in text. This paper presents the problems and solutions for porting TimeML to Korean as a part of the Korean TARSQI Project. We also introduce the KTTK which is an automatic markup tool of temp...

INTRODUCTION The problem addressed in this paper concerns the automatic identification and extraction of medical terms along with their definitions and modifiers from full text consumer-oriented medical articles. The system, DEFINDER (Definition Finder), uses rule-based techniques. The output of our system can be used in several applications: creation and/or enhancement of on-line terminologica...

The increasing use of display units in avionics motivate the need for vision-based text recognition systems to assist humans. The system for generic displays proposed in this paper includes some of the usual text recognition steps, namely localization, extraction and enhancement, and optical character recognition. The proposal has been fully developed and tested on a multi-display simulator. Th...

In speech enhancement, it is generally assumed that if you can update your noise estimate on a frame-by-frame basis, you should achieve the highest level of enhancement performance. However, for many noise types and environmental conditions, it is not necessary to perform an update on a frame-by-frame basis to achieve superior performance if the noise structure does not change rapidly. For appl...

This article presents an overview of the main findings of an interdisciplinary research project carried out by scholars from a department of translation and interpreting, a department of communication science and a department of linguistics. The project investigated Dutch open subtitling of native speakers of either northern Dutch or a Flemish (regional) variant of Dutch on Flemish television. ...

Image Enhancement Is As Much An Art As It Is A Science.” Image enhancement is one of the key issues in high quality pictures such as digital cameras. The main purpose of image enhancement is to bring out detail that is hidden in an image increase contrast in a low contrast image, or to process an image so that result is more suitable than original image. As the Image clarity is very much affect...
