Stochastic HPSG

In this paper we provide a probabilistic interpretat ion for typed feature structures very similar to those used by Pollard and Sag. We begin with a version of the interpretation which lacks a t rea tment of re-entrant feature structures, then provide an extended interpretat ion which allows them. We sketch algori thms allowing the numerical parameters of our probabilistic interpretations of HP...

Domain Dependent Natural Language Understanding

A natural language understanding system for a restricted domain of discourse thermodynamic exercises at an introductory level is presented. The system transforms texts into a formal meaning representation language based on cases. The semantical interpretat ion of sentences and phrases is controlled by case frames formulated around verbs and surface grammatical roles in noun phrases. During the ...

Voltage increase of aqueous lithium-ion batteries by Li-ion conducting Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 glass-ceramic

  In this research, a lithium ion conducting lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (LAGP) glass-ceramic with a formula of Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 was synthesized by melt-quenching method and subsequent crystallization at 850 °C for 8 h. The prepared glass-ceramic was characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The XRD patterns exhib...
