In this paper, we propose a new language model, namely, a dependency structure language model, for information retrieval to compensate for the weakness of bigram and trigram language models. The dependency structure language model is based on the Chow Expansion theory and the dependency parse tree generated by a dependency parser. So, long-distance dependencies can be handled by the dependency ...

Syntactic structures have been analysed in terms of constituent hierarchies and also in terms of dependency relations. While these two traditions have sometimes been presented as competing with each other, there is no reason in principle why syntactic dependencies and constituent hierarchies should not both be part of the grammar, complementing each other. Indeed, within transformational gramma...

The paper presents a transition from the crisp rough set theory to a fuzzy one, called Alpha Rough Set Theory or, in short, a-RST. All basic concepts or rough set theory are extended, i.e., information system, indiscernibility, dependency, reduction, core, de®nability, approximations and boundary. The resulted theory takes into account fuzzy data and allows the approximation of fuzzy concepts. ...

Whereas the field of International Political Economy (IPE) included a diversity voices at its outset, histories tend to marginalize certain contributions - particularly those from Global South. The endeavor decolonize IPE offers an opportunity look back IPE’s history, re-discover marginalized voices, and imagine new possible futures. This article engages with contemporary calls proposes alterna...
