The use of deep syntactic information such as typed dependencies has been shown to be very effective in Information Extraction. Despite this potential, the process of manually creating rule-based information extractors that operate on dependency trees is not intuitive for persons without an extensive NLP background. In this system demonstration, we present a tool and a workflow designed to enab...

We obtain the first deterministic randomness extractors for n-bit sources with minentropy ≥ n1−α generated (or sampled) by single-tape Turing machines running in time n2−16α, for all sufficiently small α > 0. We also show that such machines cannot sample a uniform n-bit input to the Inner Product function together with the output. The proofs combine a variant of the crossing-sequence technique ...

Parameterisation of the glottal source has become increasingly useful for speech technology. For many applications it may be desirable to restrict the glottal source feature data to only speech regions where it can be reliably extracted. In this paper we exploit the previously proposed set of binary phonetic feature extractors to help determine optimal regions for glottal source analysis. Besid...

We study the application of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to learning information extractors for -ary relations from free text. We propose an approach to representing the grammatical structure of sentences in the states of the model. We also investigate using an objective function during HMM training which maximizes the ability of the learned models to identify the phrases of interest. We evaluat...

This paper proposes a method to neutralize the pose of facial databases. Efficient use of the feature extractors and its properties leads to the pose neutralization. Feature extractors discussed here are few transforms like Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). Symmetric behavior of transforms is the basis of the proposed method. Modulo based approach in extracti...

Data in object-oriented programming is organized in a hierarchy of classes. The problem of object-oriented pattern matching is how to explore this hierarchy from the outside. This usually involves classifying objects by their run-time type, accessing their members, or determining some other characteristic of a group of objects. In this paper we compare six different pattern matching techniques:...
