Word alignment has an exponentially large search space, which often makes exact inference infeasible. Recent studies have shown that inversion transduction grammars are reasonable constraints for word alignment, and that the constrained space could be efficiently searched using synchronous parsing algorithms. However, spurious ambiguity may occur in synchronous parsing and cause problems in bot...

the purpose of this research is to analyze differential adpositional case marking (dacm) in vafsi within ot framework by using the generalization of aissen’s (2003) differential object marking (dom) model. while bossong (1985) has traced dom in more than 300 languages, dacm has not been investigated typologically, yet. dacm, as a branch of differential case marking (dcm), questions the effect o...

We present a phrasal inversion transduction grammar as an alternative to joint phrasal translation models. This syntactic model is similar to its flatstring phrasal predecessors, but admits polynomial-time algorithms for Viterbi alignment and EM training. We demonstrate that the consistency constraints that allow flat phrasal models to scale also help ITG algorithms, producing an 80-times faste...

Achieving business-IT alignment is one of the main purposes and also challenges of organizations. Many studies have indicated the importance of aligning information systems (IS) function with other business functions. The main purpose of this survey is evaluating business-IT alignment focusing on social and technical dimensions of business-IT alignment in Bank Mellat. The data was collected thr...

ProAlign combines several different approaches in order to produce high quality word word alignments. Like competitive linking, ProAlign uses a constrained search to find high scoring alignments. Like EM-based methods, a probability model is used to rank possible alignments. The goal of this paper is to give a bird’s eye view of the ProAlign system to encourage discussion and comparison. 1 Alig...

Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...

Recent work on constrained graph layout has involved projection of simple two-variable linear equality and inequality constraints in the context of majorization or gradient-projection based optimization. While useful classes of containment, alignment and rectangular non-overlap constraints could be built using this framework, a severe limitation was that the layout used an axis-separation appro...

Huave exhibits "mobile affixation", whereby the placement of individual affixes varies depending on phonological properties affix and stem. Kim (2008, 2010) analyzed these facts within a cyclic cophonology approach through interaction between alignment constraints (McCarthy & Prince, 1993) *CC DEP. Using same core components, this paper develops an alternative, fully parallel analysis.In ap...

Low-textured image stitching remains a challenging problem. It is difficult to achieve good alignment and it is easy to break image structures due to insufficient and unreliable point correspondences. Moreover, because of the viewpoint variations between multiple images, the stitched images suffer from projective distortions. To solve these problems, this paper presents a line-guided local warp...

RE-MuSiC is a web-based multiple sequence alignment tool that can incorporate biological knowledge about structure, function, or conserved patterns regarding the sequences of interest. It accepts amino acid or nucleic acid sequences and a set of constraints as inputs. The constraints are pattern descriptions, instead of exact positions of fragments to be aligned together. The output is an align...
