Study of patterns on images is recognized as an important step in characterization and classification of image. The ability to efficiently analyze and describe image patterns is thus of fundamental importance. The study of syntactic methods of describing pictures has been of interest for researchers. Array Grammars can be used to represent and recognize connected patterns. In any image the patt...

A formalism for ~he representation of "semantic emphases" is introduced, using principal and accessory instantiatiQns. It m~es it possible to convert predicate expressions inbo network-like structures. As an application criteria for ooligatory and optional actants are dealt with. 11 ~ 12, t I ~ t2, t I starts t2, t I finishes t 2 etco (Allen (1984); Bier-winch (1988) for the general framework)....

In this work a proposal for automatic textual segmentation is described. The proposal uses the output of an automatic syntactic analyzer – Parser Palavras – to create textual segmentation. Parse trees are used to infer text segments and a dependency tree of the identified segments. The main contribution of this work is the use of the syntactic structure as source for the automatic segmentation ...

This contribution is a report on an on-going research aiming at the development of a speech recognition system for French, combining a standard HMM recognition tool with a syntactic parser. Because of the very high number of homophones in French and because several agreement rules spread over an unbounded number of words, we designed our GB-based morphological and syntactic parser to output a c...

The present study focuses on the development and characterization of epoxy syntactic foam filled with epoxy hollow spheres (ESF/EHoS). The epoxy syntactic foam (ESF) was produced by embedding epoxy hollow spheres (EHoS) into a mixture of epoxy-hardener and 3% KOH solution. An innovative approach and simple procedure was implemented in the preparation of the EHoS where expanded polystyrene (EPS)...

To facilitate the use of syntactic information in the study of child language acquisition, a coding scheme for Grammatical Relations (GRs) in transcripts of parent-child dialogs has been proposed by Sagae, MacWhinney and Lavie (2004). We discuss the use of current NLP techniques to produce the GRs in this annotation scheme. By using a statistical parser (Charniak, 2000) and memorybased learning...

We present a new system, for recognizing textual entailment, known as Sangyan 1 , which tackles the inherently complex syntactic and semantic ambiguities involved in RTE Task by making use of multiple techniques of text processing. Sangyan employs Syntactic Dependency Tree Match for recognizing syntactic similarity with the aid of an anaphora resolution system, an in-house developed NER system ...
