The paper investigates how meaning preservation can be achieved in MT systems. A distinction is made between ontological MT systems and epistemological MT systems. Whereas ontological MT systems perform meaning preservation in the translation process by means of a set of rules that is provided by a system-external world, epistemological MT systems perform an 'understanding' of meaning that is i...

Anchor text has been considered as a useful resource to complement the representation of target pages and is broadly used in web search. However, previous research only uses anchor text of a single snapshot to improve web search. Historical trends of anchor text importance have not been well modeled in anchor text weighting strategies. In this paper, we propose a novel temporal anchor text weig...

The web is expanding day-by-day and people generally rely on search engines to explore the web. The web has created many challenges for information retrieval. Degree of quality of the information extracted is one of the major issue to be taken care of, and current information retrieval approaches need to be modified to meet such challenges. While doing query based searching, the search engines ...

Tokenization is very helpful for StatisticalMachine Translation (SMT), especiallywhen translating from morphologically rich languages. Typically, a single tokenization scheme is applied to the entire source-language text and regardless of the target language. In this paper, we evaluate the hypothesis that SMT performance may benefit from different tokenization schemes for different words within...

Recently we have investigated the use of state-of-the-art textdependent speaker verification algorithms for user authentication and obtained satisfactory results mainly by using a fair amount of text-dependent development data from the target domain. In this work we investigate the ability to build high accuracy text-dependent systems using no data at all from the target domain. Instead of usin...

This paper presents results of cognitive multimodal analysis English to Ukrainian and Russian translations verbal, visual verbal-visual puns found in the American animated tragicomedy sitcom “BoJack Horseman”. We have that translation verbal presupposes overcoming constraints caused by linguacultural specificity pun-producing source-text linguistic expressions (idioms and/or allusions). Transla...

We report x-ray emission caused by betatron motion of electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator driven high intensity ($\ensuremath{\sim}4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{19}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{W}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) pulse interaction with 4-mm long helium gas-jet and study the role collective oscillation as well plasma density. The oscillations electrons, inferred from observed wav...

Profile inference of SNS users is valuable for marketing, target advertisement, and opinion polls. Several studies examining profile inference have been reported to date. Although information of various types is included in SNS, most such studies only use text information. It is expected that incorporating information of other types into text classifiers can provide more accurate profile infere...
