In this article, we focus on creating a large vocabulary speech recognition system for the Slovenian language. Currently, state-of-the-art recognition systems are able to use vocabularies with sizes of 20,000 to 100,000 words. These systems have mostly been developed for English, which belongs to a group of uninflectional languages. Slovenian, as a Slavic language, belongs to a group of inflect...

Cinematography relies on a rich vocabulary of shots and framing parameters to communicate narrative event structures. This cinematic vocabulary stems from the physical capabilities of camera movement and uses aesthetic aspects to engage the audience and influence audience comprehension. At present, automatic physical camera control is limited in cinematic vocabulary. Virtual cameras, on the oth...

This paper describes an alternative approach to morphological language modeling, which incorporates constraints on the morphological production of new words. This is done by applying the constraints as a preprocessing step in which only one morphological production rule can be applied to an extended lexicon of known morphemes, lemmas and word forms. This approach is used to extend the CELEX Dut...

This work extends a semi-automatic grammar induction approach previously proposed in [1]. We investigate the use of Information Gain (IG) in place of Mutual Information (MI) for grammar induction based on an unannotated training corpus. Experiments using the ATIS-3 training corpus indicate that the use of IG led to better precision and recall of desired semantic categories and at earlier stages...

The purpose of the present study was to identify any significant relationship between critical thinking ability, L2 vocabulary knowledge, and L2 vocabulary learning strategies of Iranian EFL learners. To this aim, the productive vocabulary levels test was administered to measure the learner’s L2 vocabulary knowledge and observe homogeneity in terms of vocabulary knowledge. At the second stage, ...

Arabic is a semitic language characterized by a complex and rich morphology. The exceptional degree of ambiguity in the writing system, the rich morphology, and the highly complex word formation process of roots and patterns all contribute to making computational approaches to Arabic very challenging. As a result, a practical handwriting recognition system should support large vocabulary to pro...

MedSLT is a unidirectional medical speech translation system intended for use in doctor-patient diagnosis dialogues, which provides coverage of several different language pairs and subdomains. Vocabulary ranges from about 350 to 1000 surface words, depending on the language and subdomain. We will demo both the system itself and the development environment, which uses a combination of rule-based...

In this study, the TÜBİTAK-UEKAE statistical machine translation system based on the open-source phrasebased statistical machine translation software, Moses, is presented. Additionally, phrase-table augmentation is applied to maximize source language coverage; lexical approximation is applied to replace out-of-vocabulary words with known words prior to decoding; and automatic punctuation insert...
