Tenacity and some other Parameters of Interval Graphs can be computed in polynomial time
In general, computation of graph vulnerability parameters is NP-complete. In past, some algorithms were introduced to prove that computation of toughness, scattering number, integrity and weighted integrity parameters of interval graphs are polynomial. In this paper, two different vulnerability parameters of graphs, tenacity and rupture degree are defined. In general, computing the tenacity o...
متن کاملCompounds and other oddities in machine translation
ReCompounder is a working prototype for automatic translation of compounds by using the web as language model and a comprehensive bilingual dictionary as translation model. Evaluation shows this strategy is viable also with current search engine technologies. In addition to a detailed overview of the system, there is a discussion of the current capabilities of the search engines used (Google an...
متن کاملHomophones and Tonal Patterns in English-Chinese Transliteration
The abundance of homophones in Chinese significantly increases the number of similarly acceptable candidates in English-to-Chinese transliteration (E2C). The dialectal factor also leads to different transliteration practice. We compare E2C between Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese, and report work in progress for dealing with homophones and tonal patterns despite potential skewed distributions of ...
متن کاملA Preliminary Study of Lexical Stress in Taiwan English Homographs
In this study lexical stress of homographs uttered by speakers with three different levels of English, namely native Americans, Taiwanese students specializing in English and students with basic knowledge of English, is investigated. The acoustic properties of duration, fundamental frequency and intensity are studied. A new measure is proposed based on the ratio of successive vowels that is ins...
متن کاملWhy computational grammarians can be skeptical about existing linguistic theories
The bottle neck in building a practical natural language processing system is not those problems which have been often discussed in research papers, but in ilandling much more dirty, exceptional (for theoreticians, but we frequently encounter) expressions. This panel will focus on the problem which has been rarely written but has been argued informally among researchers who have tried to build ...
