Computer modeling has become an integral part of the design and analysis of accelerator structures and RF components. Sophisticated 3D codes, powerful workstations and timely theory support all contributed to this development. We will describe our modeling experience with these resources and discuss their impact on ongoing work at SLAC. Specific examples from R&D on a future linear collider and...

The task is concerned with using a natural language query and a file containing an encoding of a music score to produce a list of locations in the score that match the query. This task is achieved by (1) parsing the input query string using string processing, (2) formation of matching templates and (3) performing the search on the score and (4) reporting results in specified format. Searches on...

UML [17] is the de facto standard for specifying both of the structural and behavioral aspects of systems. OCL (Object Constraint Language [16]), an integral part of UML, allows for specifying additional constraints on UML models in a more precise and concise manner. OCL has a mathematical definition based on set theory with a notion of object model and system states. UML and OCL are easy and f...

True understanding of natural language text requires the inclusion of generalization and longterm memory. This paper describes the generalization • process and! memory used in the Integrated Part ial Parser (IPP), a computer program that reads and remembers news s tor ies . The need for generalization and generalization-based memory as an integral part of understanding natural language text is ...

1. Complexity of lexical structures and related domains Lexical databases play a central role in all natural language processing applications (Briscoe, 1991), ranging from simple spellcheckers to more complex machine translation systems. In most cases, they constitute the sole parameter information for the corresponding software, and apart from some vary basic methods such as stemming (Lovins, ...

Objectives: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have problems in communicating and social interaction skills. Moreover, deficits in pragmatic language and executive functions are among the most important causes of communication and social interaction problems in this group. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between executive functioning and two of its indices (behav...
