The performance of text classification methods has improved greatly over the last decade for instances less than 512 tokens. This limit been adopted by most state-of-the-research transformer models due to high computational cost analyzing longer instances. To mitigate this problem and improve texts, researchers have sought resolve underlying causes proposed optimizations attention mechanism, wh...

Translation can have long-term effects on all languages and cultures. It is not a mere linguistic act, but mostly a cultural act, since language is by nature one of the major carriers of cultural elements. Thus, the translator’s job is not just transferring the meaning of words and sentences from the source text to the target text. Culture-specific items often cause translation problems. Identi...

This paper explores the application of computer simulation techniques to the fields of literary studies and narratology by developing a model for plot structure and characterization. Using a corpus of 19th Century British novels as a case study, the author begins with a descriptive quantitative analysis of character names, developing a set of stylized facts about the way narratives allocate att...

T he United States and its partners are prosecuting a protracted war against insurgents and terrorists who are animated by an ideology stemming from a radical fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. As of early 2006, the American national security bureaucracy began to use the appellation the “long war” in place of the Global War on Terrorism. At least one document describes this long war as the...

Long-tail entities represent unique challenges for state-ofthe-art entity linking systems since they are under-represented in general knowledge bases. This paper studies long-tail entities in news corpora. We conduct experiments on a large news collection of one million articles, where we devise an approach for measuring the volume of such entities in news and we uncover insights on the challen...
