For applications of the natural language processing, such as spoken translation, it is the most important characteristic to accept various inputs. We analyze a speech input as a sequence of speech fragment and achieve high acceptability. But it is difficult to determine whether each fragment/unit should be interpreted separately or not. This sort of problem is shared by several applications. We...

Article history: Received 8 July 2015 Received in revised form 5 August 2016 Accepted 30 August 2016 Available online 8 September 2016 Stated preference studies eliciting welfare economic consequence of national policies, are often not considering the spatial variation in supply and demand. This spatial variation may however cause large distributional heterogeneity of policy changes. In this st...

Arc contractions in syntactic dependency graphs can be used to decide which graphs are trees. The paper observes that these contractions can be expressed with weighted finite-state transducers (weighted FST) that operate on stringencoded trees. The observation gives rise to a finite-state parsing algorithm that computes the parse forest and extracts the best parses from it. The algorithm is cus...

This work complements a parallel paper of a new finite-state dependency parser architecture (Yli-Jyrä, 2012) by a proposal for a linguistically elaborated morphology-syntax interface and its finite-state implementation. The proposed interface extends Gaifman’s (1965) classical dependency rule formalism by separating lexical word forms and morphological categories from syntactic categories. The ...

Several studies have shown that when a single wildlife stock is influenced by several adjacent forest stands, through production of habitat and/or forage, the optimal harvest timing of those stands can be interdependent. This study adds a second possible dependency between trees and wildlife browsing by the wildlife species may damage valuable trees. The optimal joint management of trees and wi...

Translation requires non-isomorphic transformation from the source to the target. However, non-isomorphism can be reduced by learning multi-word units (MWUs). We present a novel way of representating sentence structure based on MWUs, which are not necessarily continuous word sequences. Our proposed method builds a simpler structure of MWUs than words using words as vertices of a dependency stru...

Oil palm monoculture comprises one of the most financially attractive land-use options in tropical forests, but cropland suitability overlaps the distribution of many highly threatened vertebrate species. We investigated how forest mammals respond to a landscape mosaic, including mature oil palm plantations and primary forest patches in Eastern Amazonia. Using both line-transect censuses (LTC) ...

Identifying major drivers of deforestation and forest degradation has been an important task at the present context of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation “REDD+”. At present, many bilateral and multilateral projects are carrying out pilot activities for the REDD+ in developing countries and many Asian countries are being engaged in this process. Asian countries namely ...
