We show that uni cation in certain extensions of shallow equational theories is decidable Our extensions generalize the known classes of shallow or standard equational theories In order to prove de cidability of uni cation in the extensions a class of Horn clause sets called sorted shallow equational theories is introduced This class is a natural extension of tree automata with equality constra...

lysimeter tests were conducted on shallow groundwater that supplies part of the maize water requirements to determine crop yield. twenty-four 0.8 m diameter lysimeters were buried in the test field at a depth of 1.2 m. the lysimeters were filled with the field soil (silty loam) and planted with summer maize. the groundwater depth in the lysimeters was set at 0.6 m using marriotte bottles. three...

wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. in this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the reynolds averaged navier-stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. this study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

We present a novel approach for creating sense annotated corpora automatically. Our approach employs shallow syntacticosemantic patterns derived from linked lexical resources to automatically identify instances of word senses in text corpora. We evaluate our labelling method intrinsically on SemCor and extrinsically by using automatically labelled corpus text to train a classifier for verb sens...

This paper introduces the technique of Predictive Annotation, a methodology for indexing texts for retrieval aimed at answering fact-seeking questions. The essence of the approach can be stated simply: index the answers. This is done by establishing about 20 classes of objects that can be identified in text by shallow parsing, and by annotating and indexing the text with these labels, which we ...

This paper presents the procedure of the syntactic annotation of the National Corpus of Polish. Syntactic annotation consists here of shallow parsing and manual post-editing of the results by annotators. The description concentrates on the delimitation of syntactic words and groups, as well as on problems encountered during the annotation process.

Two studies examined the hypothesis that chunking—defined as the degree to which information is grouped into explicitly labeled categories of distinct valence—moderates the impact of motivation to think on order effects in persuasion. Studies 1 and 2 examined motivation to think in terms of perceived personal relevance and need for cognition, respectively. In both studies, participants read arg...

Human game players rely heavily on the experience gained by playing over the games of masters. A player may recall a previous game to either obtain the best move (if he has previously seen the identical position) or suggest a best move (if similar to others seen). However, game-playing programs operate in isolation, relying on the combination of search and programmed knowledge to discover the b...
