Several approaches have been implemented to generate the stem of A...

One of the main goals of this paper is to describe a formal procedure linking inflectional and derivational processes in Czech and to indicate that they can be, if appropriate tools and resources are used, applied to other Slavonic languages. The tools developed at the NLP Laboratory FI MU, have been used, particularly the morphological analyser ajka and the program I par for processing and mai...

In CT-based security screening, a challenging problem is to correctly identify and label objects in a scene from X-ray projection data. The presence of artifacts in the reconstructed image confounds traditional segmentation and labeling methods. In this work, we focus on integrating machine learning, physical modeling and Bayesian inference in a framework for direct material identifi cation and...

A finite-state morphological grammar for Southern Ndebele, a seriously under-resourced language, has been semi-automatically obtained from a general Nguni morphological analyser, which was bootstrapped from a mature hand-written morphological analyser for Zulu. The results for Southern Ndebele morphological analysis, using the Nguni analyser, are surprisingly good, showing that the Nguni langua...

In thts paper we wdl show how Itahan electronic dictionaries have been budt within the methodological framework of Lexicon-grammar We wdl see the structure of electromc d~ctlonanes of simple and compound words, and we wdl show how to analyse texts employing these hngmst~c tools within INTEX. a morphological analyser Finally, we wdl show how electromc grammars (budt w~th INTEX) interact with dlc...

We present a direct method of construction of a morphosyntactic guesser for Polish, which is a program producing morphosyntactic descriptions for word forms unknown to the morphological analyser. The core of the method is the construction of a statistical a tergo index, in which pseudo-suffixes (endings) extracted by a statistical tree define morpho-syntactic properties of corresponding word fo...

We evaluate the performance of an morphological analyser for Inuktitut across a mediumsized corpus, where it produces a useful analysis for two out of every three types. We then compare its segmentation to that of simpler approaches to morphology, and use these as a pre-processing step to a word alignment task. Our observations show that the richer approaches provide little as compared to simpl...

The reserve of a state of an abstract state machine was defined to be a “naked set”. In applications, it may be convenient to have tuples, sets, lists, arrays, etc. defined ahead of time on all elements, including the reserve elements. We generalize the notion of reserve appropriately. As an application, we solve a foundational problem in Gandy’s formalization of mechanical devices. Part

This paper presents the AnIta-Lemmatiser, an automatic tool to lemmatise Italian texts. It is based on a powerful morphological analyser enriched with a large lexicon and some heuristic techniques to select the most appropriate lemma among those that can be morphologically associated to an ambiguous wordform. The heuristics are essentially based on the frequency-of-use tags provided by the De M...
