The project being reported on is a sub-project of the on-going research of the CKIP (Chinese Knowledge Information Processing) Group. This group was founded by Hsieh Ching-chun in 1986 and is currently directed by Kehjiann Chen and Chu-Ren Huang (Chang et al. 1989, Hsieh et al. 1989, Chen et al. 1991). The CKIP research is divided into three sub-projects according to their goals: 1) An On-line ...

This paper studies the inducement of sequentiality in genetic algorithms (GAs) for uniformly-scaled problems. Sequentiality is a phenomenon in which sub-solutions converge sequentially in time in contrast to uniform convergence observed for uniformly-scaled problems. This study uses three different grammatical genetic codes to induce sequentiality. Genotypic genes in the grammatical codes are i...

The Idiap NLP Group has participated in both DiscoMT 2015 sub-tasks: pronounfocused translation and pronoun prediction. The system for the first sub-task combines two knowledge sources: grammatical constraints from the hypothesized coreference links, and candidate translations from an SMT decoder. The system for the second sub-task avoids hypothesizing a coreference link, and uses instead a lar...

1. INTRODUCTION. This paper investigates a small set of specific-general noun sequences (SGNs) and their role as a system of nominal classification in Sinhala. Systems of nominal classification have typically been described in terms of three sub-types: 1) lexical systems (class terms and measure terms), 2) lexico-grammatical systems (classifiers), and 3) grammatical systems (noun class markers ...

The paper describes a set of techniques developed for discrete dictation within a vocabulary that contains up to a million entries, which is one of the main challenges in highly inflected languages like Czech. We present our approach to building an efficiently coded tree lexicon with suffix sub-trees and morphologic classification. Acoustic modeling is based on either monophone, diphone, or tri...

This article claims that what is referred to as the Relevancy Condition on Korean Internally Headed Relative Clauses (IHRC) (Kuroda 1976-77, Y-B Kim 2002) consists of both grammatical and pragmatic sub-conditions, which respectively make the embedded clause related to the embedding clause via a grammatical mediator and bear a circumstantial, a causal, or a concessive relation to it. I show, how...
