We present a method for identifying English lexical blends — words such as complisult (compliment + insult) and globesity (global + obesity) — from social media, specifically Twitter. Our method is based on observations about words and phrases that are commonly used to introduce new words and corpus patterns that are often used to describe the meaning of lexical blends, and leverages the massiv...

We present an algorithm that acquires words (pairings of phonological forms and semantic representations) from larger utterances of unsegmented phoneme sequences and semantic representations. The algorithm maintains from utterance to utterance only a single coherent dictionary, and learns in the presence of homonymy, synonymy, and noise. Test results over a corpus of utterances generated from t...

Much is unknown about intelligence, and much will remain beyond human comprehension. The fundamental nature of intelligence is only poorly understood and even the definition of intelligence remains a subject of controversy. Considerable research is currently being devoted to an understanding and a representation of intelligence. According to a dictionary, intelligence means the ability to compr...

On or about August 25 2013, the name servers supporting the country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) “.cn” were attacked and brought offline[2, 6–8, 11]. As local DNS caches expired, this attack eventually affected the internet traffic of most users attempting to reach Chinese websites because the authoritative DNS servers for those sites ceased working. While the attack itself was widely reported...

An analysis of a diachronically organised corpus of Germanlanguage newspaper articles and blog posts on economy and finance is presented using a prototype dictionary of affect in German. The changes in the frequency of occurrence of positive and negative polarity words are rendered as return time series and the properties of this time series are described. The returns and the variance of return...

>(No. X) of Green's Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine .1and Siirgery. It was then stated that the promises made in the Introduction had been accomplished. A medical dictionary had been incorporated with the Encyclopaedia Medica, and a supplementary volume was then being prepared, which is now before us. It has no preface, but it was intended to be a trustworthy guide to the really importa...

We define a class of lattice models for two-dimensional topological phases with boundary such that both the bulk and the boundary excitations are gapped. The bulk part is constructed using a unitary tensor category C as in the Levin-Wen model, whereas the boundary is associated with a module category over C. We also consider domain walls (or defect lines) between different bulk phases. A domain...

This paper addresses a new method of constructing Korean-Chinese verb patterns from existing patterns. A verb pattern is a subcategorization frame of a predicate extended by translation information. Korean-Chinese verb patterns are invaluable linguistic resources that only used for Korean-Chinese transfer but also for Korean parsing. Usually a verb pattern has been either hand-coded by expert l...

In this paper we present the process of creating a comprehensive morphological dictionary of compounds for Serbian. This dictionary should be compatible with existing large morphological dictionaries of simple words for Serbian. Due to the complexity of Serbian morphology, the production of a dictionary of compounds is not an easy task. In this paper we present a procedure that automatically pr...

In developing a machine translation system, one of the di cult tasks is how to build a transfer dictionary. It has been built by human labor from scratch in most cases. This approach, however, is very ine ective from the viewpoint of cost and time. To avoid this problem, we generate a Korean to Japanese dictionary as a sample, taking advantage of existing linguistic resources, which consist of ...
