From the perspective of structural linguistics, we explore paradigmatic and syntagmatic lexical relations for Chinese POS tagging, an important and challenging task for Chinese language processing. Paradigmatic lexical relations are explicitly captured by word clustering on large-scale unlabeled data and are used to design new features to enhance a discriminative tagger. Syntagmatic lexical rel...

For half a decade model-based testing has been applied at Microsoft in the internal development process. Though a success story compared to other formal quality assurance approaches like verification, a break-through of the technology on a broader scale is not in sight. What are the obstacles? Some lessons can be learned from the past and will be discussed. An approach to MBT is described which...

This paper 1 presents a language to express morphological processes, concatenative or nonconcatenative. The language allows the definition of two kinds of paradigms: helping paradigms, which define partial morphological forms, and main paradigms, which combine two or more helping paradigms to define fully specified forms. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n This paper presents a language to express morph...

Paradigmatic analysis consists in the segmentation of a musical piece through the identification of relations between different parts of the piece, and the classification of the identified segments into categories. In this paper we describe how a genetic programming system can be used to make the paradigmatic analysis of monophonic musical pieces, using a simple fitness function inspired in the...
