Given a text x of length n, we study the problem of solving the k-difference problem for all thewords, either with fixed or variable length, taken from the text itself. The result finds its application in pattern discovery in biosequences where overor under-represented words are extracted from the input sequences. The proposed algorithm runs in amortized linear time perword. This improves the c...

This study attempted to compare typed and handwritten essays of Iranian EFL students in terms of length, spelling, and grammar. To administer the study, the researchers utilized Alice Touch Typing Tutor software to select 15 upper intermediate students with higher ability to write two essays: one typed and the other handwritten. The students were both males and females between the ages of 22 to...

The string matching problem that appears in many applications like word processing, information retrieval, bibliographic search, molecular biology, etc., consists in finding the first or all the occurrences of a pattern in a text, where the pattern and the text are strings over the same alphabet. Many algorithms for solving this problem exist in literature [10, 20]. The naive (brute force) algo...

While most previous keystroke biometric studies dealt with short input like passwords, we focused on long-text input for applications such as identifying perpetrators of inappropriate e-mail or fraudulent Internet activity. A Java applet collected raw keystroke data over the Internet, appropriate long-text-input features were extracted, and a pattern classifier made identification decisions. Ex...

OBJECTIVE A novel hypothesis of object recognition asserts that multiple regions are engaged in processing an object type, and that cerebral regions participate in processing multiple types of objects. In particular, for high-level expert processing, it proposes shared rather than dedicated resources for word and face perception, and predicts that prosopagnosic subjects would have minor deficit...

This paper presents TextTiling, a method for partitioning full-length text documents into coherent multiparagraph units. The layout of text tiles is meant to reflect the pattern of subtopics contained in an expository text. The approach uses lexical analyses based on tf.idf, an information retrieval measurement, to determine the extent of the tiles, incorporating thesaural informationvia a stat...

NooJ associates each text with a Text Annotation Structure, in which each recognized linguistic unit is represented by an annotation. Annotations store the position of the text units to be represented, their length, and linguistic information. NooJ can represent and process complex annotations, such as those that represent units inside word forms, as well as those that are discontinuous. We dem...

This paper proposes methods to pre-process questions in the postings before a QA system can find answers in a discussion group in the Internet. Pre-processing includes garbage text removal and question segmentation. Garbage keywords are collected and different length thresholds are assigned to them for garbage text identification. Interrogative forms and question types are used to segment quest...

Modern day hospital management systems rely heavily on electronic data processing to maintain patient records. These electronic medical records (EMRs) must be maintained in an unaltered form by the creator. The need for a secure data handling method for the transmission and storage of text and digital media, comprising patient’s diagnostic history, imaging, scans, etc., is indispensible. This p...

This article investigates a reading skill content in English textbook used at state senior high school from the point of view its variety, exploitability, suitability, length text, readability, and authenticity texts. A representation theory was to explore key issue textbook. multimodal discourse analysis is applied, more specifically through verbal visual texts within The results reveal that t...
