A new almost-parsing language model incorporating multiple knowledge sources that is based upon the concept of Constraint Dependency Grammars is presented in this paper. Lexical features and syntactic constraints are tightly integrated into a uniform linguistic structure called a SuperARV that is associated with a word in the lexicon. The SuperARV language model reduces perplexity and word erro...

Speech signals convey information from many sources, but not all information sources are relevant to describe speaker identity. In fact, speech is affected by spurious events, artifacts (mouth breath, lip clicks), and noise (channel and background). Such unwanted information sources are shared by speakers and do not contribute in distinguishing between them. Furthermore, in most cases, training...

An important aspect of Semantic Web technologies is the issue of identity and uniquely identifying resources, which is essential for integrating data across sources. Currently, there is poor agreement on the use of common URIs for the same instances across sources and as a result a naively integrated dataset might miss associations between resources. To solve the problem, we present a method fo...

Spectrogram factorisation using a dictionary of spectrotemporal atoms has been successfully employed to separate a mixed audio signal into its source components. When atoms from multiple sources are included in a combined dictionary, the relative weights of activated atoms reveal likely sources as well as the content of each source. Enforcing sparsity on the activation weights produces solution...

the information obtained from written sources, archaeological limited surface excavations and surveys as well as environmental studies in sassanid towns have made their spatial characteristics clear to some extent and become effective in determination of functional and visual identity of these cities. nevertheless, there are still a lot of cities from this period which their names listed in wri...

Among many books written by contemporary heresiographers, few have failed to mention this hadith in their writings. Many Shi‘i and Sunni traditionists have collected the traditions that deal with the future of the Muslim ummah under such titl...

Historical narratives (istori halapsem) have an important place in Chuvash folklore studies. One of the reasons for this special interest is lack sufficient information sources about history before 16th century.

identity, a series of traits and characteristics that makes a person or a member of the community come to a kind of “ recognition” about individuals and other communities; the city also, following the example of this criterion gains character and gets independent. identity in the city, through the creation and association with “public memories” of citizens causes the sense of interest and depen...
