reported light-headedness with position change but no fever, chills or photophobia. Her vitals were stable except for a mildly elevated blood pressure. While in the office she had a syncopal attack and an urgent CT of the head demonstrated massive non-communicating hydrocephalus (figure 1). She was admitted to the hospital and in the midst of her neurosurgical work-up she suffered a generalised...

this study was a contrastive analysis of the evolution of english and persian advertising slogans to investigate their similarities/differences in using rhetorical figures, and the evolution in the use of these figures in the slogans of each language. thus, 800 persian and english slogans from the last four decades were collected. lapsanka's framework (2006) including different aspects with som...

Fault seeding is typically used in empirical studies to evaluate and compare test techniques. Central these techniques lies the hypothesis that artificially seeded faults involve some form of realistic properties thus provide experimental results. In an attempt strengthen realism, a recent line research uses machine learning techniques, such as deep Natural Language Processing, seed look like (...

Consider some of the obvious differences between a printed and a spoken version of the very same English sentence. Both contain the same words, but in the printed sentence they are static ink configurations, while in the utterance they are temporally extended sound patterns. In the printed case, words are combined by juxtaposition in space; in the utterance, by juxtaposition in time. The printe...

We present a syntactically enriched vector model that supports the computation of contextualized semantic representations in a quasi compositional fashion. It employs a systematic combination of firstand second-order context vectors. We apply our model to two different tasks and show that (i) it substantially outperforms previous work on a paraphrase ranking task, and (ii) achieves promising re...

This paper reports on our research to build a large-scale Tsinghua Chinese Treebank (TCT). We propose a two-stage approach to reduce manual proofreading labors as much as possible. The insertion of an intermediate functional chunk level creates a good information bridge to link simple chunk annotation with detailed syntactic tree annotation. We describe our chunk and tree annotation schemes, fo...

Oligopotent Quasi Near-Unanimity Polymorphisms A k -ary function f : Qk → Q where k ≥ 3 is called a quasi near-unanimity function (QNUF) if and only if it satisfies ∀x∀y . f (y , x, x, . . . , x) = f (x, y , x, . . . , x) = · · · · · · = f (x, x, x, . . . , y) = f (x, . . . , x). We say that a polymorphism f of Γ is oligopotent if g(x) = f (x, . . . , x) preserves all relations first-order defi...

Whereas in language words of high frequency are generally associated with low content [Bookstein, A., & Swanson, D. (1974). Probabilistic models for automatic indexing.

researchers of language teaching believe that teaching method has a lot of impact on the speed and depth of learning. the importance of this is so obvious on teaching some persian language structures which are syntactically and semantically complicated. one of these structures is conditional sentences which has been considered in this study. here we tried to teach conditional sentences via both...
