This stage is almost identical to last year. We start off by tagging the Query for part-of-speech using XeLDA (2004). We then carry out shallow parsing looking for various types of phrase. Each phrase is then translated using three different methods. Two translation engines and one dictionary are used. The engines are Reverso (2004) and WorldLingo (2004) which were chosen because we had found t...

We report the observation of narrower structures in the yellow luminescence of bulk and thin-film n-type GaN, using the technique of selective excitation. These fine structures exhibit thermal quenching associated with an activated behavior. We attribute these fine structures to phonons and electronic excitations of a shallow donor-deep acceptor complex, and determine its activation energy for ...

We proposed an Architectural model for detecting plagiarism in natural language text and presented the analysis of various detection processes followed for effective plagiarism detection. Other plagiarism detection mechanisms are based on parsing techniques where sentence and word chunking is performed to extract phrases which are searched on internet in comparison to that we performed sentence...

Robustness is a key issue for natural language processing in general and parsing in particular, and many approaches have been explored in the last decade for the design of robust parsing systems. Among those approaches is shallow or partial parsing, which produces minimal and incomplete syntactic structures, often in an incremental way. We argue that with a systematic incremental methodology on...

Japanese dependency structure is usually represented by relationships between phrasal units called bunsetsus. One of the biggest problems with dependency structure analysis in spontaneous speech is that clause boundaries are ambiguous. This paper describes a method for detecting the boundaries of quotations and inserted clauses and that for improving the dependency accuracy by applying the dete...

Initial experiments in learning valence (subcategorisation) frames of Polish verbs from a morphosyntactically annotated corpus are reported here. The learning algorithm consists of a linguistic module, responsible for very simple shallow parsing of the input text (nominal and prepositional phrase recognition) and for the identification of valence frame cues (hypotheses), and a statistical modul...

We propose an alternative method for Word Sense Disambiguation, based on the interaction between syntagmatic and paradigmatic information. The unit of the disambiguation process is taken to be an ambiguous occurrence integrated into a syntagmatic pattern. The strategy needs not a semantically annotated corpus, it supposes only a morphological analysis and chunking, does not make use of statisti...

In this paper, we look at comparing highaccuracy context-free parsers with highaccuracy finite-state (shallow) parsers on several shallow parsing tasks. We show that previously reported comparisons greatly under-estimated the performance of context-free parsers for these tasks. We also demonstrate that contextfree parsers can train effectively on relatively little training data, and are more ro...

Ezafe construction is an idiosyncratic phenomenon in the Persian language. It is a good indicator for phrase boundaries and dependency relations but mostly does not appear in the text. In this paper, we show that adding information about Ezafe construction can give 4.6% relative improvement in dependency parsing and 9% relative improvement in shallow parsing. For evaluation purposes, Ezafe tags...

Sampling of a Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) of a scree in the Guadarrama mountains (Madrid, Spain) revealed a population of crickets of the genus Nemobius Serville. A detailed morphological study revealed that the cricket was a new species, Nemobius interstitialis sp. nov., which is principally characterized by the absence of a tympanum in the outer margin of the foreleg tibiae and a peculi...
