We present a robust full-featured architecture to preprocess text before parsing. This architecture, called SXPipe, converts raw noisy corpora into word lattices, one by sentence, that can be used as input by a parser. It includes sequentially named-entity recognition, tokenization and sentence boundaries detection, lexicon-aware named-entity recognition, spelling correction, and non-determinis...

O'Brien, Shank, Myers, and Rayner (1988) reported that readers generated elaborative inferences only when a text contained characteristics that virtually eliminated the possibility of an inference being disconfirmed. We reanalyzed the data of O'Brien et al. (1988) and also conducted an experiment in which we varied (a) whether or not there was an anaphoric relation between a target word and its...

This paper presents a set of phonetics teaching resources as modules in a more generic framework for web-based tutoring in the areas of phonetics, multimedia communication and spoken language research. Currently the toolkit consists of standalone interactive modules and lecture notes on a number of areas of phonetics, phonology and the lexicography of spoken language. The interactive presentati...

We present a set of tools used to enhance the optical colonoscopy procedure in a novel manner with the aim of improving both the accuracy and efficiency of this procedure. In order to better present the colon information to the gastroenterologist performing a conventional (optical) colonoscopy, we undistort the radial distortion of the fisheye view of the colonoscope. The radial distortion is m...
