Cases of Note-Punctilious for Punctuation

The punctilious RNA polymerase II core promoter.

The signals that direct the initiation of transcription ultimately converge at the core promoter, which is the gateway to transcription. Here we provide an overview of the RNA polymerase II core promoter in bilateria (bilaterally symmetric animals). The core promoter is diverse in terms of its composition and function yet is also punctilious, as it acts with strict rules and precision. We addit...

Presenting Punctuation

Until recently, punctuation has received very little attention in the linguistics and computational linguistics literature. Since the publication of Nunberg's (1990) monograph on the topic, however, punctuation has seen its stock begin to rise: spurred in part by Nunberg's ground-breaking work, a number of valuable inquiries have been subsequently undertaken, including Hovy and Arens (1991), Da...

Punctuation Normalisation for Cleaner Treebanks and Parsers

Although punctuation is pervasive in written text, their treatment in parsers and corpora is often second-class. We examine the treatment of commas in CCGbank, a wide-coverage corpus for Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), reanalysing its comma structures in order to eliminate a class of redundant rules, obtaining a more consistent treebank. We then eliminate these rules from C&C, a wide-cove...

Extending the punctuation module for european portuguese

This paper describes our recent work on extending the punctuation module of automatic subtitles for Portuguese Broadcast News. The main improvement was achieved by the use of prosodic information. This enabled the extension of the previous module which covered only full stops and commas, to cover question marks as well. The approach uses lexical, acoustic and prosodic information. Our results s...
