Lexicon development and Part of Speech (POS) tagging are very important for almost all Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. The rapid development of these resources and tools using machine learning techniques for less computerized languages requires appropriately tagged corpus. We have used a Bengali news corpus, developed from the web archive of a widely read Bengali newspaper. The ...

BACKGROUND Despite the high mortality rates of HIV and cancer in sub-Saharan Africa, there are few outcome tools and no comparative data across conditions. This study aimed to measure multidimensional wellbeing among advanced HIV and/or cancer patients in three African countries, and determine the relationship between two validated outcome measures. METHODS Cross-sectional self-reported data ...

BACKGROUND Strict restrictions on outdoor cigarette marketing have resulted in increasing concentration of cigarette marketing at the point-of-sale (POS). The association between POS cigarette marketing and smoking-induced deprivation (SID) has never been studied. The aim of this study was to examine this association and how it is mediated by cravings to smoke, urges to buy cigarettes, and unpl...

This paper proposes an accurate method for partof-speech (POS) tagging that is highly domain-adaptable. The method is based on an assumption that the POS transition tendencies do not depend on domains, and has the following three characteristics: 1) it is trainable from partially annotated data, 2) it uses efficiently trainable pointwise POS taggers to allow for active learning, and 3) is more ...

Part Of Speech (POS) tagging forms the important preprocessing step in many of the natural language processing applications such as text summarization, question answering and information retrieval system. It is the process of classifying every word in a given context to its appropriate part of speech. Different POS tagging techniques in the literature have been developed and experimented. Curre...

the aim of this study was to survey employees’ readiness working in physical education offices in west and east azerbaijan and ardebil provinces for accepting total quality management (tqm). the study was a descriptive survey and the sample consisted of 125 employees (45 females and 80 males) working in physical education offices of the three mentioned provinces. spinwall (1994) questionnaire i...

CD4 pos TH1 T cells are considered to play a central role in a number of human autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis. Experimental treatment protocols aimed at selectively eliminating CD4 pos T cells thus far have yielded disappointing clinical results. Here we analyzed phenotype and function of circulating T cells in multiple sclerosis patients treated wi...

CD4(pos) TH1 T cells are considered to play a central role in a number of human autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis. Experimental treatment protocols aimed at selectively eliminating CD4(pos) T cells thus far have yielded disappointing clinical results. Here we analyzed phenotype and function of circulating T cells in multiple sclerosis patients treated ...

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is the process of labelling tokens in a text with tags that indicate their morphosyntactic category, and has a wide range of applications in computational and corpus linguistics, such as the production of corpus-based dictionaries and grammars. This paper describes an experiment in extending POS tagging to a hitherto untagged language, Urdu. The most challenging tas...

interpretation: computing on properties readInt(x) if x>0 : x:= pred(x) x:= succ(x) writeInt(x) Q: Is output pos? A: abstractly interpret domain Int by Sign = {neg, zero, pos, any}: readSign(x) if isPos(x): x:= pred(x) x:= succ(x) writeSign(x) where succ(pos) = pos succ(zero) = pos succ(neg) = any succ(any) = any and pred(neg) = neg pred(zero) = neg pred(pos) = any pred(any) = any To answer the...
