This paper proposes using the opposition-based learning (OBL) strategy in the shuffled frog leaping (SFL). The SFL divides a population into several memeplexes and then improves each memeplex in an evolutionary process. The OBL by comparing the fitness of an individual to its opposite and retaining the fitter one in the population accelerates search process. The objective of this paper is to in...

Based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) informed genre theory, this paper investigates the interplay between narrative and analytical representations of past in texts used for history-educational purposes. In paper, it is argued that role merits further attention history descriptions. Thirteen texts, selected from a lower-secondary history-instructional unit about European colonization, ...

This paper reports on the use of corpora for the construction of a computational grammar of Spanish, contrastive with English, in the application context of Multilingual Natural Language Generation (MLG). The theoretical framework for this work is Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and the computational context provided by KPML (Komet Penman Multilingual), an extensive grammar development en...

Stop Flow Lithography (SFL) is a microfluidic-based particle synthesis method for creating anisotropic multifunctional particles with applications that range from MEMS to biomedical engineering. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been typically used to construct SFL devices as the material enables rapid prototyping of channels with complex geometries, optical transparency, and oxygen permeability....

This paper mainly presents noun and verbal group parts of a Turkish sentence generator to produce the actual text from its semantic description In order to concentrate on text generation rather than text planning we assume that the lexicalized semantic description of the text is produced in some way currently given by hand In the generation we need a linguistic theory to describe linguistic res...

This paper mainly presents a Turkish sentence generator for producing the actual text from its semantic description To concentrate on the text generation rather than text planning we assume that the lexicalized semantic de scription of the text is produced in some way currently given by hand In the generation we need a linguistic theory to describe the linguistic resources and also a software t...
