This work explores the problem of incremental analysis in the context of chart parsing, probably the most commonly used framework for the analysis of natural language. Incrementality here means that syntax correctness of a text is checked dynamically as the text is edited, changing the internal representation of the analysis rather than generating an entirely new one. This implies that the syst...

In this paper, we introduce a system that aims at recognizing chart images using a model-based approach. First of all, basic chart models are designed for four different chart types based on their characteristics. In a chart model, basic object features and constraints between objects are defined. During the chart recognition, there are two levels of matching: feature level matching to locate b...

Different acoustic variables such as pitch, volume, timbre and position can be used to represent quantitative, qualitative and categorical aspects of the information. Such sonifications are particularly useful for those with visual impairments; they are also beneficial in circumstances where visual representations would be impossible to use or to enrich a graphical realization. We demonstrate m...

We introduce the notion of parsing and translation using Database technology. The framework focuses on the notion of “Database Oriented parsing”. We describe the basic notion of linguistic representation using relational tables in SQL and we specify a set of operators on these tables for parsing and translation. The framework provides a flexible mechanism for modeling cross linguistic informati...

BACKGROUND When assessing the concordance between two methods of measurement of ordinal categorical data, summary measures such as Cohen's (1960) kappa or Bangdiwala's (1985) B-statistic are used. However, a picture conveys more information than a single summary measure. METHODS We describe how to construct and interpret Bangdiwala's (1985) agreement chart and illustrate its use in visually a...

We introduce multi-chart geometry images, a new representation for arbitrary surfaces. It is created by resampling a surface onto a regular 2D grid. Whereas the original scheme of Gu et al. maps the entire surface onto a single square, we use an atlas construction to map the surface piecewise onto charts of arbitrary shape. We demonstrate that this added flexibility reduces parametrization dist...

Control charts are used to identify the presence of assignable cause of variation in the process. Non-parametric control chart is an emerging area of recent development in the theory of SPC. Its main advantage is that it does not require any knowledge about the underlying distribution of the variable. In this paper a non-parametric control chart for controlling variability has been developed. I...

We use Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) within a chart-parsing framework for grammar learning. Given an existing grammar G, together with some sentences which G can not parse, we use ILP to nd the \miss-ing" grammar rules or lexical items. Our aim is to exploit the inductive capabilities of chart parsing, i.e. the ability to eeciently determine what is needed for a parse. For each unparsable s...
