We present a novel approach for automatic collocation error correction in learner English which is based on paraphrases extracted from parallel corpora. Our key assumption is that collocation errors are often caused by semantic similarity in the first language (L1language) of the writer. An analysis of a large corpus of annotated learner English confirms this assumption. We evaluate our approac...

We improve the quality of paraphrases extracted from parallel corpora by requiring that phrases and their paraphrases be the same syntactic type. This is achieved by parsing the English side of a parallel corpus and altering the phrase extraction algorithm to extract phrase labels alongside bilingual phrase pairs. In order to retain broad coverage of non-constituent phrases, complex syntactic l...

Abstract - Use of efficient signal processing tools (SPTs) to extract proper indices for fault detection in induction motors (IMs) is the essential part of any fault recognition procedure. The Part1 of the two parts paper focuses on Fourier-based techniques including fast Fourier transform and short time Fourier transform. In this paper, all utilized SPTs which have been employed for fault fete...

Developing muli-threaded applications is harder than developing sequential programs because an object can be manipulated concurrently by multiple threads. This paper paraphrases the concurrency patterns described in [POSA2], including the Producer-Consumer, Active Object, Monitor Object, HalfSync/ Half-Async and Leader/ Followers pattern.

Paraphrases, which stem from the variety of lexical and grammatical means of expressing meaning available in a language, pose challenges for a sentence generation system. In this paper, we discuss the generation of paraphrases from predicate/argument structure using a simple, uniform generation methodology. Central to our approach are lexico-grammatical resources which pair elementary semantic ...

Abstract Behavioral addictions, also known as non-substance or non-drug refer to a range of compulsive behaviors that individuals engage in despite the negative consequences result from these behaviors. Research on behavioral addiction women has shown are at higher risk for certain types such shopping and internet addiction, compared men. Studies suggest may be more susceptible addictions becau...

We describe a set of paraphrase patterns for questions which we derived from a corpus of questions, and report the result of using them in the automatic recognition of question paraphrases. The aim of our paraphrase patterns is to factor out different syntactic variations of interrogative words, since the interrogative part of a question adds a syntactic superstructure on the sentence part (i.e...
