Recently rule based languages focussed on the use of rewriting as a modeling tool which results in making specifications executable. To extend the modeling capabilities of rule based languages, we explore the possibility of making the rule applications subject to probabilistic choices. We propose an extension of the ELAN strategy language to deal with randomized systems. We argue through severa...

ELAN is a versatile multimedia annotation tool that is being developed at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. About a decade ago it emerged out of a number of corpus tools and utilities and it has been extended ever since. This paper focuses on the efforts made to ensure that the application keeps up with the growing needs of that era in linguistics and multimodality research; growi...

Multilingual parallel corpora are a basic resource for research and development of MT. Such corpora are still scarce, especially for lower-diffusion languages. The paper presents a sentence-aligned tokenised Slovene-English corpus, developed in the scope of the EU ELAN project. The corpus contains 1 million words from fifteen recent terminology-rich texts and is encoded according to the Guideli...

Motiviert durch die Frage, wie sich Verständnis innerhalb eines Gesprächs unter Studenten bei der gemeinsamen Bearbeitung von Lernmaterial entwickelt, entstand der Wunsch, diese Gespräche möglichst automatisiert auswerten zu können, um so zukünftig mögliche Probleme bei der Bearbeitung von Aufgabenstellungen in studienbegleitenden Laboren vorzubeugen. Dazu wurden sechs Gruppen von jeweils zwei ...

calculus is a new calculus that integrates in a uniform and simple settings rst-order rewriting,-calculus and non-deterministic computations. This paper describes the calculus from its syntax to its basic properties in the untyped case. We show how it embeds rst-order rewriting and-calculus. Finally we shows how-calculus can be used to give an operational semantics to the rewrite based language...

This paper discusses some improvements in recent and planned versions of the multimodal annotation tool ELAN, which are targeted at improving the usability of annotated files. Increased support for multilingual documents is provided, by allowing for multilingual vocabularies and by specifying a language per document, annotation layer (tier) or annotation. In addition, improvements in the search...
