A reasonably simple, domain-independent, large-scale approach of lexictd semantics to paraphrase recognition is presented in this paper. It relies on the enrichment of morphosyntactic rules and the addition of fbur boolean syntactico-semantic features to a set of 1.,(}23 words. It results in a significant enhancement of precision of 30% with a slight decrease in recall of 10%.

This paper provides evidence for both effects of phonetic and phonological salience in speech processing. Results from three experiments are presented, each examining the relative processing two sounds by speakers different languages. In experiment, one is more phonetically salient other phonologically given morphophonological patterning langauges. Phonetic emerged shorter-term tasks that were ...

Natural language learning seems, from a formal point o f view, an enigma. As a matter of fact, every human being, given nearly exclusively positive examples (as psycholinguists have noticed) is able at the age o f about five to master his/her mother tongue. Though, no linguistically interesting class o f formal languages is learnable with positive data in usual models (Gold ' s (67) and Valiant...

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on reducing internalizing symptoms in children and reducing parental stress (PS) in mothers. Research design of this study was Quasi-experimental research with a pre/post test design with a control group. Using cluster sampling from among all the school children of the 2013-2014 school year at Isfa...

The Frege-Russell view is that existence is a second-order property rather than a property of individuals. One of the most compelling arguments for this view is based on the premise that there is an especially close connection between existence and number. The most promising version of this argument is by C.J.F. Williams (1981, 1992). In what follows, I argue that this argument fails. I then de...

The relationship between simulated and judged depth separations for pairs of probe dots on planar surface patches was examined in a series of 6 experiments. The simulated slant of the patches was varied without varying the simulated depth separation of the probe dots by varying the depth gradient orthogonal to the direction determined by the probe dots on the image plane. Judged depth separatio...

R. F. SIMMONS (1970) and M. PA~AK and A. W. PRATT (1971) point out that no computerized system using natural language either as part of the processor or as the object processed and having a syntactico-semantic component has a lexicon of more than a few hundred items (except for the SNOV' s medical lexicon). It is obvious from the lack • of success of large-scale computerized systems using natur...

here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...

Shephard groups are unitary reflection groups arising as the symmetries of regular complex polytopes. For a Shephard group, we identify the representation carried by the principal ideal in the coinvariant algebra generated by the image of the product of all linear forms defining reflecting hyperplanes. This representation turns out to have many equivalent guises making it analogous to the sign ...
