Many biochemical and industrial applications involve complicated networks of simultaneously occurring chemical reactions. Under the assumption of mass action kinetics, the dynamics of these chemical reaction networks are governed by systems of polynomial ordinary differential equations. The steady states of these mass action systems have been analyzed via a variety of techniques, including stoi...

This paper describes an attempt at investigating some collocational properties of translated language. The notion of collocation is one of the cornerstones of corpus linguistics, and has been the subject of substantial speculation and empirical research (section 2.1). Within translation studies, few works have tackled this issue, partly because of methodological conundrums (section 2.2). Yet co...

The Mormon Lit Blitz contest has tapped into a rich reservoir of short-short fiction, reaching milestone this year with the publication its first anthology. With 1000-word limit, final winners selected by popular vote, and special rounds for translated translingual work, yielded panorama diverse results during decade. Co-founder James Goldberg answers Dialogue's fiction editor Jennifer Quist's ...

Shortage of available training data is holding back progress in the area of automated error detection. This paper investigates two alternative methods for artificially generating writing errors, in order to create additional resources. We propose treating error generation as a machine translation task, where grammatically correct text is translated to contain errors. In addition, we explore a s...

Expert summarizers employ a number of strategies to produce summaries. Teachers need to identify which strategies are used by students to help them improve their summary writing. However, the task is time consuming. This paper reports on our effort to develop an algorithm to identify the summarizing strategies employed by students using summary sentence decomposition. The summarizing strategies...
