Introduction. This review was written from the perspective of someone working in the field of Machine Learning of Natural Language: the application of techniques from statistical pattern recognition and Machine Learning to problems in Natural Language Processing (NLP). As in any subfield of Artificial Intelligence, the goals of this type of research can be either practical or theoretical. From ...

In this paper a pattern language for service discovery is introduced. These patterns were mined from several existing service discovery protocols, and from protocols which are generally used for service discovery, but have not been discussed under the theme of service discovery in the research community. In this paper everything preceding the actual service usage is considered as service discov...

In this paper, I describe work undertaken to identify the common elements of works described as Pattern Languages, with the view to delineating elements necessary to a definition of the genre. Some implications for this in terms of a possible Pattern Language for HCI are then raised.

Ad hoc networking is based on the principle of spontaneous addition, discovery, and usage of services in a network. Various technologies such as JiniTM [Sun01], UPnP [Micr01], and .NET are built around the concept of ad hoc networking. While each technology is either platform or language dependent, they share a common underlying architecture which can be expressed using a pattern language. The ...

mystical language has always been one of the most prominent fields of investigation since the very beginning of its evolution. it has also been taken deep into account not only by the mystics, but also by the researchers concerned. after the flourishing of theorising in the 20th century, and the emergence of the theory of formalism, due to its analytical and scientific strength, many researcher...

humans are equipped with some universal or language-specific abilities to recognize emotions. however, because of the different emotional contents in diverse languages and the relevant cultural differences, humans with different cultural backgrounds own different metapragmatical abilities to recognize and express emotions. a hypothesis concerning emotional effects about intonation and particle ...

This paper proposes that meanings in text are both created and understood by matching actual text occurrences (or creations) against patterns of usage stored in the brain. A ‘pattern’ in this sense has two elements: valency, which is comparatively stable, and one or more sets of preferred collocations, which are highly variable. To understand collocations, we draw on prototype theory developed ...

plotinus' attempt to counter the aristotle critiques on plato's theory of ideas, leads to his theory of emanation, which is called double act doctrine. plotinus is influenced by aristotle, not only in raising the problem of emanation quality, but the language and terms (including reasonable matter, indefinite dyad and activity) that are used to describe his theory. also, the theory of...

although the majority of linguists believing in chomskyan revolution have no doubt about the presence of ug in ll acquisition, its availability in l2 acquisition _in general, and in adult l2 acquisition in particular, is controversial. on the one hand, there are proponents of the access to ug in l2 acquisition, lidia white for example, says: therange of option available to the second language l...
