We propose a new method to improve the accuracy of Text Categorization using twodimensional clustering. In a number of previous probabilistic approaches, texts in the same category are implicitly assumed to be generated from an identical distribution. We empirically show that this assumption is not accurate, and propose a new framework based on twodimensional clustering to alleviate this proble...

School texts on geography are an important but neglected repository of geographical knowledge and representations within the historiography of geography. During the period 1830-1918 geography school texts were influenced by European exploration, church sponsors of education, the mediation of religious and scientific explanation of the natural world, popular images of empire, and state education...

I present a surface-based algorithm that employs knowledge of cue phrase usages in order to determine automatically clause boundaries and discourse markers in unrestricted natural language texts. The knowledge was derived from a comprehensive corpus analysis.

In the so-called information society with its strong tendency towards individualization, it becomes more and more important to have all sorts of textual information available in a simple and easy to understand language. We present an approach that allows to automatically rate the readability of German texts and also provides suggestions how to make a given text more readable. Our system, called...

this paper presents a method for diagnosis of eccentricity fault in a switched-reluctance motor (srm) during offline and standstill modes. in this method, the fault signature is differential induced voltage (div) achieved by injecting diagnostic pulses to the motor windings. it will be demonstrated by means of results that there is a correlation between differential induced voltage and eccentri...

This chapter seeks to explain our preliminary reflections on how different religious communities might use their texts and traditions to respond to and assess the ethics of oncofertility research and technologies. Specifically, this chapter will briefly explore the Catholic, Evangelical Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions and their anticipated or potential contributions to...

We tested the hypothesis that more frequent exposure to multiword phrases results in deeper entrenchment of their representations, by examining the performance of subjects of different religiosity in the recognition of briefly presented liturgical and secular phrases drawn from several frequency classes. Three of the sources were prayer texts that religious Jews are required to recite on a dail...
