Linguistic Data Consortium has recently embarked on an effort to create integrated linguistic resources and related infrastructure for language exploitation technologies within the DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) Program. GALE targets an end-to-end system consisting of three major engines: Transcription, Translation and Distillation. Multilingual speech or text from a varie...

The present study examined whether surface acted empathy led to decreased burnout among providers of emotional support without adversely affecting recipients. Measures were tested via an in-lab simulated conversation between strangers and through an online survey asking participants about real-life conversations. Study 1 (95 pairs of female participants) had manipulation failure, but still part...

taknar deposit is located about 28 km to the north-west of bardaskan in the khorasan-e-razavi province, which is situated in the north-eastern part of iran. this deposit is unique, formed within the taknar formation in the ordovician time. as a result, it is of much interest to many researchers working in this field. by choosing the lithogeochemical study performed to recognize new exploration ...

background: in radiation treatment of moving targets located in thorax region of patient body, the delivered dose does not match with the planned treatment, resulting in some over and under dosage in the tumor volume, as a function of motion magnitude and frequency. several efforts have been done to investigate the target motion effects on dose distribution in the target and surrounding normal ...

During visual search, it is well known that items sharing visual similarity with the target create interference (e.g., searching for a baseball among softballs vs. a baseball among bats). Although such a task is inherently visual, might linguistic similarity between target and background items' names also create interference? We conducted several experiments in which people searched for either ...

Frame semantics is a linguistic theory that has been instantiated for English in the FrameNet lexicon. We solve the problem of frame-semantic parsing using a two-stage statistical model that takes lexical targets (i.e., content words and phrases) in their sentential contexts and predicts frame-semantic structures. Given a target in context, the first stage disambiguates it to a semantic frame. ...

This paper describes changing needs among the communities that exploit language resources and recent LDC activities and publications that support those needs by providing greater volumes of data and associated resources in a growing inventory of languages with ever more sophisticated annotation. Specifically, it covers the evolving role of data centers with specific emphasis on the LDC, the pub...
