Despite having a large number of speakers, the Kurdish language is among the less-resourced languages. In this work we highlight the challenges and problems in providing the required tools and techniques for processing texts written in Kurdish. From a high-level perspective, the main challenges are: the inherent diversity of the language, standardization and segmentation issues, and the lack of...

This paper describes the development of the first syntactically annotated corpus of Kurmanji Kurdish. The corpus was used as one of the surprise languages in the 2017 CoNLL shared task on parsing Universal Dependencies. In the paper we describe how the corpus was prepared, some Kurmanji specific constructions that required special treatment, and we give results for parsing Kurdish using two pop...

and Benjamin Davis for comments and discussions on the subject. Thanks are also due to David Gray, Xiaoen Huang, and Ayo Heinegg for their significant contributions in data preparation and analysis, and to Valentino Sorani for making available the digital data on soil, land use, and precipiation used here. Emmanuel Jimenez is the project manager.

Kurdish writing shows such an amazing fact which has been conducted through research in the domain of pattern recognition and computer vision. Later, there were a lot of different ways and methods which have been improved or implemented to progress an approach for writer identification. The thing that's very difficult to deal with in WI is that the handwriting of a person differs from one perso...

Hereditary cancer comprises more than 10% of all breast cancer cases. In patients with a family history suggestive of a hereditary component, a mutation is often identified in the high penetrant genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Several founder mutations have been detected in some Jewish communities, yet no BRCA1/2 founder mutation had been known in Kurdish Jews. Here, we describe the validation of a 22 h...

BACKGROUND Research has demonstrated a bidirectional relationship between physical function and depression, but studies on their association in migrant populations are scarce. We examined the association between mental health symptoms and mobility limitation in Russian, Somali and Kurdish migrants in Finland. METHODS We used data from the Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study (Maamu). Th...

IP addresses are allocated to Internet service providers (ISPs) by four Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), in turn the ISPs further assign addresses to end users. To understand the relationship, if any exists, between the address allocation and the global routing table growth, we present a quantitative analysis of the IPv4 address allocation and growth of the global BGP routing table over the...

The IP Lookup Process is a key bottleneck in routing due to the increase in routing table size, increasing traıc and migration to IPv6 addresses. The IP address lookup involves computation of the Longest Prefix Matching (LPM), which existing solutions such as BSD Radix Tries, scale poorly when traıc in the router increases or when employed for IPv6 address lookups. In this paper, we describe a ...
