The Slavic affricate represented by <č> is tacitly or explicitly assumed to be // for all Slavic languages. In this paper I revise the affricate inventories of Polish and Czech, showing that the symbol <č> stands for two different sounds: the postalveolar // in Czech and the retroflex // in Polish. This conclusion is supported by the results of an acoustic study of Polish and Czech aff...

This document presents the recommendations of the Polish Medical Society of Radiology (PLTR) and the Polish Society of Polish Society of Rheumatology (PTR) regarding the standards of collaboration between radiologists and rheumatologists so as to optimize the diagnostics and treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloa...

This article presents research and development aimed at creating a Polish speech database for speech synthesis and adapting BOSS (The Bonn Open Synthesis System) to the Polish language. First of all, the linguistic background for the design of Polish spoken resources for unit selection is presented, together with the presentation of the applied transcription and annotation methods. The next sec...

Poland's market reforms implemented in 1990 should possibly result in increasing price linkages between Polish and internationally traded agricultural commodities like wheat. Using regression and cointegration analysis Polish monthly wheat prices were found to be generally unrelated to selected world prices over the period of 1990/91 through 1996/97 mainly because of Polish government's interve...

We prove that for every homogeneous and strongly locally homogeneous Polish space X there is a Polish group admitting a transitive action on X. We also construct an example of a homogeneous Polish space which is not a coset space and on which no separable metrizable topological group acts transitively.

The paper presents a new online service for the dependency parsing of Polish. Given raw text as input, the service processes it and visualises output dependency trees. The service applies the parsing system – MaltParser – with a parsing model for Polish trained on the Polish Dependency Bank, and some additional publicly available tools.

A speech recognition system for the Polish language is described. The presentation will focus on an adjustment of the Kaldi toolkit for Polish, our own grapheme to phoneme conversion tool and a corpus of Polish we collected. The approaches to commercial applications will also be described.

We answer some questions from [4] by giving suitable examples of small Polish structures. First, we present a class of small Polish group structures without generic elements. Next, we construct a first example of a small nonzero-dimensional Polish G-group.

Preliminary experiments presented in this paper consist in the induction and evaluation of a dependency parser for Polish. We train data-driven dependency models with publicly available parser-generation systems (MaltParser and MSTParser) given a converted dependency structure bank for Polish. Induced Polish dependency parsers are evaluated against a set of gold standard dependency structures u...
