Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) aims to predict the correct sense of a word given its context. This problem is extreme importance in Arabic, as written words can be highly ambiguous; 43% diacritized have multiple interpretations and percentage increases 72% for non-diacritized words. Nevertheless, most Arabic text does not diacritical marks. Gloss-based WSD methods measure semantic similarity o...

For the rst interactive Cross-Language Evaluation Forum, the Maryland team focused on comparison of term-for-term gloss translation with full machine translation for the document selection task. The results show that (1) searchers are able to make relevance judgments with translations from either approach, and (2) the machine translation system achieved better eeectiveness than the gloss transl...

An experimental polyethylene–candelilla-wax coating formulation was evaluated in comparison to a high-gloss, shellac and wood resin citrus coating for storage of ‘Valencia’ oranges at 15–25°C. Oranges with the wax coating had relatively high flavor scores (8.9–10.4) even after 9–16 days storage at 15–25°C. By contrast, the high-gloss coating, shown to be typical of such citrus coatings, resulte...

Although WordNets have been developed for a number of languages, no attempts to construct a Japanese WordNet have been known to exist. Taking this into account, we launched a project to automatically translate the Princeton WordNet into Japanese by a method of unsupervised word-sense disambiguation using bilingual comparable corpora. The method we propose aligns English word associations with t...

OBJECTIVES This study: 1) analyzed the surface roughness of five novel resin composites that contain nanoparticles after polishing with three different one-step systems and 2) evaluated the effectiveness of these polishers and their possible surface damage using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. METHODS The resin composites evaluated in this study include CeramX, Filtek Supreme XT,...
