In the task of acquiring Japanese-Chinese technical term translation equivalent pairs from parallel patent documents, this paper considers situations where a technical term is observed in many parallel patent sentences and is translated into many translation equivalents and studies the issue of identifying synonymous translation equivalent pairs. First, we collect candidates of synonymous trans...

This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method using phoneme con-nectivity and CCV conversion rules with probabilistic phrase break detection. The method consists of mainly four modules including phrase-break detection, morpheme normalization, morpheme to phoneme conversion and phoneme connectivity check. In the experiments with a test corpus of 210 sentences, we achieved 85% of p...

The present work, entitled Some peculiarities of the use definite articles in proper nouns (anthroponyms and toponyms): a semantic approach comparative perspective between Mozambican Portuguese European Portuguese, has as main objective to analyze ( anthroponyms toponyms) Portuguese. In this sense, we try describe different contexts which presence/absence names occurs (EP), also compare (PM) wi...

Objectives: Specific language impaired children, despite being normal in cognitive and neurological characteristics, and also normal levels of hearing, experience multiple problems in syntax comprehension. This study compared the passive comprehension as one of Syntactic Structures in Persian-speaking typically developing children and Specific language impaired children. Methods: 10 children w...

This paper proposes a new automatic speech summarization method having two stages: important sentence extraction and sentence compaction. Relatively important sentences are extracted based on the amount of information and the confidence measures of constituent words, and the set of extracted sentences is compressed by our sentence compaction method. The sentence compaction is performed by selec...

In this paper we present a system that assigns interpretations, in the form of shallow semantic frame descriptions, to natural language sentences. The system searches for relevant patterns, consisting of words from the sentences, to identify the correct semantic frame and associated slot values. For each of these choices, a separate classifier is trained. Each classifier learns the boundaries b...

Legislatures often require a specific or minimal sentence be imposed if certain conditions are fulfilled. This study shows how such rules might benefit defendants. Israeli law requires that suspended prison activated the offender is reconvicted of further offense during term suspension. Hence, becomes sort minimum for breach offense. Yet judges allowed to prolong if, among other things, minor a...
