These data form a part of a longitudinal study of vowel system formation for Russian language. The goal of this investigation is to examine the process of vowels spectral characteristics dynamics from child speech to the corresponding values in normal Russian adult speech. The vowels from vocalizations and words of 5 Russian children from 3 to 60 months of age were analyzed. The spectral featur...

The study of the axiological problems in literary studies is a fundamental direction of modern Russian Philology. In this paper, we will first conside, the search process for the orientations of values of Russian writers of the classical period of Russian literature in the 19th century; and second, the spiritual themselves foundations as ideological constants of the writers. The pursuit of Russ...

Named Entity recognition (NER) is an important part of many natural language processing tasks. Most current approaches employ machine learning techniques and require supervised data. However, many languages lack such resources. This paper presents an algorithm to automatically discover Named Entities (NEs) in a resource free language, given a bilingual corpora in which it is weakly temporally a...

This paper describes the adaptation and certification process for switching equipment to be used in the Russian public switched telephone network (PSTN). The first part of the paper illustrates the basic certification procedure and its essential steps. Each step, whether it is described in a natural language or formally in a specification language SDL, is an integral part of the certification p...

Elliptical constructions can help to avoid repetition of identical constituents during natural-language generation. From grammar books, it is not easy to extract executable rules for ellipsis—in our case in Russian. Therefore we follow a different strategy. We test the accuracy of a rule set that has been evaluated for the two Germanic languages, Dutch and German, and the two Finno-Ugric langua...

events in former Soviet republics such as Ukraine, Georgia and the Baltic countries. Over 100 texts have been collected from the most popular Russian newspapers, Argumenty i Fakty and Komsomol’skaia Pravda, between 2004 and 2010 in order to compile a “discourse of Russian satellites.” Even though the contemporary Russian press avoids the totalitarian habits of Soviet times such as monoglossia, ...

This paper describes a plug-in component to extend the PULS information extraction framework to analyze Russian-language text. PULS is a comprehensive framework for information extraction (IE) that is used for analysis of news in several scenarios from English-language text and is primarily monolingual. Although monolinguality is recognized as a serious limitation, building an IE system for a n...

This paper studies the relative effectiveness of different methods for multilingual model combination and dictionary mapping for recognizing a new unseen target language if training data are limited. We examine the crosslanguage transfer from monolingual and multilingual models to German and Russian language for large vocabulary speech recognition using a dictation database which has been colle...
