Complex information extraction (IE) pipelines assembled by plumbing together off-the-shelf operators, specially customized operators, and operators re-used from other text processing pipelines are becoming an integral component of most text processing frameworks. A critical task faced by the IE pipeline user is to run a post-mortem analysis on the output. Due to the diverse nature of extraction...

The pipeline processor is a common paradigm for very high speed computing machinery. Pipeline processors provide high speed because their separate stages can operate concurrently, much as different people on a manufacturing assembly line work concurrently on material passing down the line. Although the concurrency of pipeline processors makes their design a demanding task, they can be found in ...

This paper presents a vision based tracking system for routine underwater pipeline or cable inspection for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV’s). The objective of this research paper is to investigate the issues of pipeline detection, including pose and orientation measurements in underwater environments. The proposed visual tracking system used an active contour method to track underwater obj...

Code clone is known as identical copies of the same instances or fragments of source codes in software. Current code clone research focuses on the detection and analysis of code clones in order to help software developers identify code clones in source codes and reuse the source codes in order to decrease the maintenance cost. Many approaches such as textual based comparison approach, token bas...

Multiprocessor systems’ speed and throughput has surpassed the superscalar uniprocessor, making the attentions drawn towards new ways of increasing the efficiency and speed of the multiprocessor. Software developmental approaches are now being tailored towards multiprocessing by exploiting parallel programming technique. Compiler developers are not left behind, new and existing compilers are sh...

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a new paradigm proposed to efficiently support the ever-growing broadband traffic over WDM networks. In OBS networks, an important issue is how to improve the efficiency of the scheduling algorithm. In this paper, a new control packet buffering scheme “PipeLine System” is introduced to buffer a certain number of control packets in order to collect more informati...

The future of ext Generation etworks relies heavily on the effective operation of real-time applications. Media pipeline plug-in architectures have been introduced to provide the efficiency and improvements that these wireless applications require. The pipeline architectures exist for the efficient capture and processing of multimedia streams into a format suitable for transmission in the conte...

In this paper we describe the pipeline design and enhanced hardware for fast message handling in a RICA-1 processor, a processing element (PE) in the RWC-1 multiprocessor. The RWC-1 is based on the reduced inter-processor communication architecture (RICA), in which communications are combined with computation in the processor pipeline. The pipeline is enhanced with hardware mechanisms to suppor...

We describe a new GATE-based linguistic annotation pipeline for Early Modern German, which can be used to annotate historical texts with word tokens, sentence boundaries, lemmas, and POS tags. The pipeline is based on a customisation of the freely available ANNIE system for English (Cunningham et al., 2002), in combination with a version of the TreeTagger (Schmid, 1994) trained on gold standard...

We are rapidly entering the era of genomics. The dramatic cost reduction of DNA sequencing due to the introduction of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques has resulted in an exponential growth of genetics data. The amount of data generated, and its associated processing into useful information, poses serious computational challenges. Here, we give a brief introduction of NGS, show a typi...
