The UvT system is based on a hybrid, linguistic and statistical approach, originally proposed for the recognition of multiword terminological phrases, the C-value method (Frantzi et al., 2000). In the UvT implementation, we use an extended noun phrase rule set and take into consideration orthographic and morphological variation, term abbreviations and acronyms, and basic document structure info...

We present an entirely new approach for the representation of intensifying and weakening linguistic hedges in fuzzy set theory, which is primarily based on a crisp ordering relation associated with the term that is modified, as well as on a fuzzy quantifier. With this technique we can generate membership functions for both atomic and modified linguistic terms. We prove that our model respects s...

The focus of this paper is on the relationship between technology and language documentation and description. It is largely inspired by Bird and Simons (2003), or more specifically, section 4 of that paper (Bird and Simons 2003:570–2), where they suggest a general model for developing recommendations for the use of technology in the creation of linguistic resources—which I term the values-desid...

Perception based function (PBF) is given by the set of rules Ri:“If X is Ti then Y is Si”, where Ti is a linguistic term describing some fuzzy intervals Ai on the domain of real values of X and Si is a linguistic description of the shape of the function Y(X) on this interval. The methods of explicitation of such type of rules when Si are given by words QUICKLY INCREASING AND SLIGHTLY CONVEX, SL...

Finding an appropriate structure that represents the information contained in texts is not a trivial task. There are different structures for modeling the knowledge, such as: ontologies, taxonomies, thesaurus, and semantic networks. Ontologies are especially useful because they support the exchange and sharing of information. An important task in ontology learning is to obtain a set of represen...

Where decisions are based on imprecise numeric data and linguistic variables, the development of automated decision aids presents particular difficulties. In such applications, linguistic variables often take their values from a pre-ordered set of vaguely defined linguistic terms. The mathematical structures that arise from the assumption that sets of linguistic terms are pair-wise tolerant are...

To relax the Term Independence Assumption, Term Dependency is introduced and it has improved retrieval precision dramatically. There are two kinds of term dependencies, one is defined by term proximity, and the other is defined by linguistic dependencies. In this paper, we take a comparative study to re-examine these two kinds of term dependencies in dependence language model framework. Syntact...

This study investigated how the main linguistic traits of stream of consciousness novels are realized in Persian translations and also the frequency of translation strategies used by translators. Accordingly, a restricted set of linguistic parameters which Totò (2014) asserts can show the stream of thought of character(s), is chosen including punctuation, exclamatory utterances, interjections, ...

This paper describes efforts by the University of Pennsylvania's Linguistic Data Consortium to create and distribute shared linguistic resources – including data, annotations, tools and infrastructure – to support the Rich Transcription 2005 Spring Meeting Recognition Evaluation. In addition to distributing large volumes of training data, LDC produced reference transcripts for the RT-05S confer...

this article aims at defining ricest stemmer in persian language set up in the regional information center for science and technology (ricest). we applied linguistic knowledge and standard algorithms to extract machine-readable rules. in addition, plural suffixes and exceptions of which compound nouns are a part were applied. different parts of singular-stemmer and their functions are described.
