phrases. The partial parser is motivated by an intuition (Abney, 1991): To acquire noun phrases from running texts is useful for many applications, such as word grouping, terminology indexing, etc. The reported literatures adopt pure probabilistic approach, or pure rule-based noun phrases grammar to tackle this problem. In this paper, we apply a probabilistic chunker to deciding the implicit bo...

Storage deduplication has received recent interest in the research community. In scenarios where the backup process has to complete within short time windows, inline deduplication can help to achieve higher backup throughput. In such systems, the method of identifying duplicate data, using disk-based indexes on chunk hashes, can create throughput bottlenecks due to disk I/Os involved in index l...

The statistical properties of segments [8] using a specific acoustic model called the hidden chunk model (HCM) is investigated. We call the sequence of feature vectors assigned to a segment a chunk of length `. The HCM still assumes that the feature vectors are statistically independent. In contrast to hidden Markov model (HMM) we introduce emission probabilities which depend on `. Segment erro...

We present a hierarchical chunk-to-string translation model, which can be seen as a compromise between the hierarchical phrasebased model and the tree-to-string model, to combine the merits of the two models. With the help of shallow parsing, our model learns rules consisting of words and chunks and meanwhile introduce syntax cohesion. Under the weighed synchronous context-free grammar defined ...

[1] To determine the efficacy of turbulence in the solar wind, the amount of mixing of the solar wind plasma is quantified. If magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar wind acts as does Navier-Stokes turbulence, the chunk mixture of scalar quantities in the solar wind plasma should evolve with time. In particular, (1) the sizes of plasma chunks should decrease with distance from the Sun owin...

A bidirectional English-Filipino Example-based Machine Translation System that learns and uses templates is presented. The system uses machine learning techniques to initially extract templates from a given bilingual corpus. These templates are subsequently used for translating English input text into Filipino and vice versa. The system implements the similarity template learning algorithm perf...

We address the problem of extracting bilingual chunk pairs from parallel text to create training sets for statistical machine translation. We formulate the problem in terms of a stochastic generative process over text translation pairs, and derive two different alignment procedures based on the underlying alignment model. The first procedure is a now-standard dynamic programming alignment model...
