Many accounts of the processing of morphologically complex words have been elaborated within the interactive activation model of word identification. Conceptually, this model adopts a "segmentation-through-recognition" approach to morphological decomposition, which assumes that a complex word activates representations of constituent morphemes as well as the representation of the whole word. How...

Very high spatial resolution images are now available (about 1m), and processes such as classification or segmentation are less efficient on this kind of images. This paper proposes a method for pre-processing images, which smoothes the heterogeneous areas but perserves the borders of main objects. This process is done by 1. a multi-resolution nonlinear decomposition with a morphological pyrami...

In this work, we try a hybrid methodology for language modeling where both morphological decomposition and factored language modeling (FLM) are exploited to deal with the complex morphology of Arabic language. At the end, we are able to obtain from 3.5% to 7.0% relative reduction in word error rate (WER) with respect to a traditional full-words system, and from 1.0% to 2.0% relative WER reducti...

The paper describes evaluation resources for concept-based, cross-lingual information retrieval in the medical domain. All resources were constructed in the context of the MuchMore project and are freely available through the project website. Available resources include: a bilingual, parallel document collection of German and English medical scientific abstracts, a set of queries and correspond...

This study investigated morphological decomposition of Tagalog infixed, prefixed, and suffixed words using the masked priming paradigm. We directly compared ni- prefixed -in to examine whether infixes are processed similarly other affixes during early automatic decomposition. found significant effects for words, but no semantic or orthographic similarity priming. Magnitudes infixed were no...

Pyramidal multiresolution image representation is an ordered sequence of decreasing spatial resolution images in which each image is filtered version of its predecessor. Pyramidal representation of an image is applied in various fields of image processing: progressive image transmission used in interactive image communication over low-bandwidth channels, for image compression used in transmissi...

Various medical image compression techniques have been proposed for accelerating image propagation in many applications. JPEG2000 is a new generation technique that can encode near lossless ultrasound images at medium bit-rate with diagnostically acceptable quality. Because the coder of JPEG2000 is based on wavelet transform, the reconstructed image will contain some ringing artifacts. Some de-...
