In this paper we propose a framework to improve word segmentation accuracy using input method logs. An input method is software used to type sentences in languages which have far more characters than the number of keys on a keyboard. The main contributions of this paper are: 1) an input method server that proposes word candidates which are not included in the vocabulary, 2) a publicly usable in...

It is proved that, for h measurable and symmetric in its arguments and Xi i.i.d., if the sequence {n−m2 ∑ i1,...,im≤n ij 6=ik if j 6=k h(Xi1 ,...,Xim )}n=1, is stochastically bounded, then Eh2<∞ and Eh(X1,x2,...,xm)=0 a.s.

In selecting input variables by block addition and block deletion (BABD), multiple input variables are added and then deleted, keeping the cross-validation error below that using all the input variables. The major problem of this method is that selection time becomes large as the number of input variables increases. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, we propose incremental block addition...

In order to manage site precast concrete construction which has been increasing, an integrated construction management system employing a unique 3-D modelling method and analogue process input method was developed. At the planning stage, the system supports interactive planning between member configuration and installation planning by a visual method and with an accurate quantity. At the proces...

Computer interfaces for color selection consist of a visible screen representation, an input method, and the underlying conceptual organization of the color model. We report a two-way factorial, between-subject variable experiment which tested the effect of high and low visual feedback interfaces on speed and accuracy of color matching for RGB and HSV color models. The only significant effect w...

With an average of 17 Chinese characters per phonetic syllable, correcting conversion errors with current phonetic input method editors (IMEs) is often painstaking and time consuming. We explore the application of spoken character description as a correction interface for Chinese text entry, in part motivated by the common practice of describing Chinese characters in names for self-introduction...

It is very import for Chinese language processing with the aid of an efficient input method engine (IME), of which pinyinto-Chinese (PTC) conversion is the core part. Meanwhile, though typos are inevitable during user pinyin inputting, existing IMEs paid little attention to such big inconvenience. In this paper, motivated by a key equivalence of two decoding algorithms, we propose a joint graph...

This paper presents a word support model (WSM). The WSM can effectively perform homophone selection and syllable-word segmentation to improve Chinese input systems. The experimental results show that: (1) the WSM is able to achieve tonal (syllables input with four tones) and toneless (syllables input without four tones) syllable-to-word (STW) accuracies of 99% and 92%, respectively, among the c...
