We describe in this paper an approach for synchronous parsing of syntactic and semantic dependency structures that combines recent advances in the area to get a very high accuracy as well at the same time very good parsing times. The time for parsing, the time for training and the values of the memory footprint are to our knowledge the best results reported while the parsing accuracy are as hig...

The question of subjecthood has dogged linguistic science since ancient times. However, in current versions of Minimalism, subjects do not have primitive status and can only be defined in derived terms. However, subjects and the broader theoretical notion of SUBJECT remain important in linguistic description. This paper develops a definition of SUBJECTHOOD in terms of set-theoretic notions of F...

This study explores the resource dependency and relational exchange theories of understanding firms’ participation in e-procurement, and seeks to determine the degree to which the resource dependency theory variables — supply importance, supply complexity, supply market dynamism, and availability of alternatives — affect information exchange and operational linkages, the relational exchange the...

The paper aims at using the Conceptual Dependency (CD) Theory [4] (Schank, 1975), to represent dependency amongst words in Marathi sentences. Context is the set of circumstances, time, place, background and the environment within which something takes place. Text has sense and words have meanings. The way a word is used with the text, determines its sense. Context sensitivity is inherent in nat...

This paper describes some operational aspects of a language comprehension model which unifies the linguistic theory and the semantic theory in respect to operations. The computational model, called Augmented Dependency Grammar (ADG), formulates not only the linguistic dependency structure of sentences but also the semantic dependency structure using the extended deep case grammar and fleld-orie...

This paper tries to investigate valency theory as a linguistic tool in machine translation.There are three main areas in which major questions arise: (i) Valency theory itself. I sketch a valency theory in linguistic terms which includes the discussion of the nature of dependency representation as an interface for semantic description. (2) The dependency representation in the translation proces...

Following the development of fuzzy logic theory by Lotfi Zadeh, its applications were investigated by researchers in different fields. Presenting and working with uncertain data is a complex problem. To solve for such a complex problem, the structure of relationships and operators dependent on such relationships must be repaired. The fuzzy database has integrity limitations including data depen...

Document summarization is a technique aimed to automatically extract main ideas from electronic documents. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, called TriangleSum for key sentence extraction from single document based on graph theory. The algorithm builds a dependency graph for the underlying document based on co-occurrence relation as well as syntactic dependency relations. The nodes r...

This work adds realistic dependency structure to a previously developed analytical stochastic network loading model. The model is a stochastic formulation of the link-transmission model, which is an operational instance of Newell’s simplified theory of kinematic waves. Stochasticity is captured in the source terms, the flows, and, consequently, in the cumulative flows. The previous approach cap...
