Translation of discontinuous phrases is a major challenge in Machine Translation. Within METIS-II we developed a dictionary lookup strategy by mapping the items of a dictionary entry on non-adjacent words in an input text. Mapping is controlled through so-called contextual rejection, i.e. inappropriate mappings are discarded if they fail to satisfy a predefined set of constraints. We present va...

warranty as a kind of service contract today plays a role key in business and legal transactions. in this paper, we present a manufacturer, an agent and a customer's model under different service contracts suggestions. the manufacturer's profit is maximized by determining sale price, warranty period and warranty price. in addition we obtain optimal maintenance cost or repair cost for ...

Various algorithms have been proposed for dictionary learning. Among those for image processing, many use image patches to form dictionaries. This paper focuses on whole-image recovery from corrupted linear measurements. We address the open issue with representing an image by overlapping patches: the overlapping leads to an excessive number of dictionary coefficients to determine. With very few...

This paper presents an automatic grapheme to phoneme conversion system that uses statistical machine translation techniques provided by the Moses Toolkit. The generated word pronunciations are employed in the dictionary of an automatic speech recognition system and evaluated using the ESTER 2 French broadcast news corpus. Grapheme to phoneme conversion based on Moses is compared to two other me...
