In three experiments, we investigated Hebb repetition learning (HRL) differences between children and adults, as a function of the type of item (lexical vs. sub-lexical) and the level of item-overlap between sequences. In a first experiment, it was shown that when non-repeating and repeating (Hebb) sequences of words were all permutations of the same words, HRL was slower than when the sequence...

are developing a Trans-lator's Workstation to assist users in the translation of newspaper articles in the area of finance from Spanish or Japanese into English. At its core is a multi-engine MT system, consisting of a knowledge-based, interlin-gum system, an example-based system, and an extensive glossary and bilingual dictionary system. Results from all systems are combined in a chart structu...

Marchand, Tim. 2013. Speech in written form? A corpus analysis of computer-mediated communication. Linguistic Research 30(2), 217-242. This paper investigates the nature of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and examine whether CMC more closely resembles written or spoken language in its structure and organization. The CMC in this paper refers to messages posted on the BBC’s Have Your Say we...

Abstract We present a C++ header-only parallel sparse matrix library, based on quadtree representation of matrices using the Chunks and Tasks programming model. The library implements number algorithms for distributed memory parallelization that are able to dynamically exploit data locality avoid movement data. This is demonstrated example block-sparse matrix–matrix multiplication appl...

In deduplication-based backup systems, the chunks of each backup are physically scattered after deduplication, which causes a challenging fragmentation problem. The fragmentation decreases restore performance, and results in invalid chunks becoming physically scattered in different containers after users delete backups. Existing solutions attempt to rewrite duplicate but fragmented chunks to im...

In this paper, we introduce a Web-scale linguistics search engine, Linggle, that retrieves lexical bundles in response to a given query. The query might contain keywords, wildcards, wild parts of speech (PoS), synonyms, and additional regular expression (RE) operators. In our approach, we incorporate inverted file indexing, PoS information from BNC, and semantic indexing based on Latent Dirichl...

Chunking is the subdivision of sentences into non recursive regular syntactical groups: verbal chunks, nominal chunks, adjective chunks, adverbial chunks and propositional chunks etc. The chunker can operate as a preprocessor for Natural Language Processing systems. This study aims to propose new phrase chunking algorithm for Myanmar natural language processing. The developed new algorithm acce...
