Many Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval methods are based on the extensive use of text corpora. The credibility of the results can be heavily influenced by the underlying corpus quality. Much research has been utilizing Arabic corpora into various tasks of Arabic Information Processing. In this paper we discuss a suite of metrics that can be used to ascertain the quality of A...

We analyzed the localizatien ofsteroidogenic enzymes (P450 scc, 3 B HSD, P450 arorn and P450 c17) in the corpora lutea oftwo Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon oresoensis) during the early mating season. Two corpora lutea were found in each female and the timing of formation of the corpora lutea seemed diflbrent. P450 scc, and 3 B HSD, positive luteal cells were fbund in both corpora lutea. The ...

This paper classifies six publicly available biomedical corpora according to various corpus design features and characteristics. We then present usage data for the six corpora. We show that corpora that are carefully annotated with respect to structural and linguistic characteristics and that are distributed in standard formats are more widely used than corpora that are not. These findings have...

This paper reports the latest performance of components and features of a project named CorpusCentered Computation (C'3), which targets a translation technology suitable for spoken language translation. C3 places corpora at the center of the technology. Translation knowledge is extracted from corpora by both EBMT and SMT methods, translation quality is gauged by referring to corpora, the best t...

With the increasing number of annotated corpora for supervised Named Entity Recognition, it becomes interesting to study the combination and augmentation of these corpora for the same annotation task. In this paper, we particularly study the combination of heterogeneous corpora for Medical Entity Recognition by using a meta-learning classifier that combines the results of individual Conditional...

Review by Hyung-Jo Yoon and Jungmin Lim, Michigan State University Since the first availability of corpora for language analysis in the 1960s, the technologies related to corpus compilation, annotation, and analysis have greatly improved. Now many corpus researchers are showing increasing interest in how to use corpus data as a useful pedagogical tool. Contributing to this line of interest, Mul...

For the acquisition of common-sense knowledge as well as as a way to answer linguistic questions regarding actual language usage, the breadth and depth of the World Wide Web has been welcomed to supplement large text corpora (usually from newspapers) as a useful resource. While purists’ criticism on unbalanced composition or text quality is easily shrugged off as unconstructive, empirical resul...

This paper describes the design of six publicly available biomedical corpora. We then present usage data for the six corpora. We show that corpora that are carefully annotated with respect to structural and linguistic characteristics and that are distributed in standard formats are more widely used than corpora that are not. These findings have implications for the design of the next generation...

Abstract This review aims to introduce corpora as useful tools for facilitating vocabulary teaching and learning. Corpora have long been applied improve learner language learning, but their direct implication in classroom is rare. begins with providing basic concepts related then illustrates how can benefit learning teaching. To make better use of corpora, careful consideration needs be given c...

PubAnnotation provides a convenient platform to collect and align corpora with various annotations. However, corpora must be searchable to be useful, but there has been no standard way to search corpora, particularly when multiple layers of annotations are present. PubAnnotation-query is designed to provide an interface for searching corpora annotated with multiple layers. This paper describes ...
