We consider phrase based Language Models (LM), which generalize the commonly used word level models. Similar concept on phrase based LMs appears in speech recognition, which is rather specialized and thus less suitable for machine translation (MT). In contrast to the dependency LM, we first introduce the exhaustive phrase-based LMs tailored for MT use. Preliminary experimental results show that...

If you ask most medical school deans if they have a course, program, or center doing bioethics, they will enthusiastically assure you that they do. And their enthusiasm for bioethics grows exponentially in proportion to their interest in showing that they are doing something about managing research ethics issues at their institutions. The same can be said about the entire biomedical research es...

(1) is a noun phrase, and thus contrasts syntactically with (2), which is a clause. Yet the two seem to be synonymous. We will argue that the noun phrase is not embedded in an elliptical structure; rather, the phrase we see is all there is. And furthermore we will argue that (1) is not just pragmatically equivalent to (2); the two are in fact semantically equivalent as well. This raises the que...

Heavy-NP shift occurs when speakers prefer placing lengthy or “heavy” noun phrase direct objects in the clause-final position within a sentence rather than in the post-verbal position. Two experiments were conducted in this study, and their results suggested that having a long noun phrase affected the ordering of constituents (the noun phrase and prepositional phrase) by advanced Iranian EFL le...

pain is a phenomenon experienced more or less by all people during their lives. since sufferers usually use language as the most important human communication tool to inform others about their pains, sentences describing pain and studying them linguistically may reveal some points. in this paper, after a short introduction to the subject and reviewing the literature, we take one of the systemat...

This paper describes a novel call recognizer system based on the machine learning approach. Current trends, intelligence, emotional recognition and other factors are important challenges in real world. The proposed provides robustness with high accuracy adequate response time for human–computer interaction. Intelligence emotion from speech of interfaces simulated via multiple classifier systems...

X k=1 z 0k A0;k(z M)Mi01(z M): (41) This formula makes transparent exactly what happens in a recursive computation of the correlation functions. At every stage i, we have the Z-transform at points M 0i n of the appropriate function. In going to the (i + 1)st stage, the rst term Mi01(z M) ensures that values at the previous stage are retained at the even points, while the second term interpolate...
