We present an alignment strategy that specifically deals with the correct alignment of rare German nominal compounds to their English multiword translations. It recognizes compounds and multiwords based on their character lengths and on their most frequent POSpatterns, and aligns them based on their length ratios. Our approach is designed on the basis of a data analysis on roughly 500 German ha...

Geometric characteristics of 2-manifolds embedded in R space have been analyzed from the point of view of differential geometry and topology. In the past, results relevant to these areas have been found for C curves and surfaces. However, current scientific, industrial, entertainment and medical applications, and availability of more powerful point sampling systems, press for characterization o...
