Standardizing terminology for text recycling in research writing

Terminology Extraction and Term Ranking for Standardizing Term Banks

This paper presents how word alignment techniques could be used for building standardized term banks. It is shown that time and effort could be saved by a relatively simple evaluation metric based on frequency data from term pairs, and source and target distributions inside the alignment results. The proposed Q-value metric is shown to outperform other tested metrics such as Dice’s coefficient,...

Text recycling in health sciences research literature: a rhetorical perspective

The past few years have seen a steady rise in the number of health science journals using plagiarism detection software to screen submitted manuscripts. While there is widespread agreement about the need to guard against plagiarism and duplicate publication, the use of such tools has sparked debate about text recycling-the reuse of material from one's prior publications in a new manuscript. Man...

Text writing in the air

This paper presents a real time video based pointing method which allows sketching and writing of English text over air in front of mobile camera. Proposed method have two main tasks: first it track the colored finger tip in the video frames and then apply English OCR over plotted images in order to recognize the written characters. Moreover, proposed method provides a natural human-system inte...

Automatic Terminology Intelligibility Estimation for Readership-oriented Technical Writing

This paper describes automatic terminology intelligibility estimation for readership-oriented technical writing. We assume that the term frequency weighted by the types of documents can be an indicator of the term intelligibility for a certain readership. From this standpoint, we analyzed the relationship between the following: average intelligibility levels of 46 technical terms that were rate...
