The recognition of Hindi Characters is of two types, one is simple characters recognition that comprises of consonants and vowels and second is compound characters recognition.

In this paper some algebraic structures for linguistic fuzzy models are defined for the first time. By definition linguistic fuzzy norm, stability of these systems can be considered. Two methods (normed-based & graphical-based) for stability analysis of linguist fuzzy systems will be presented. At the follow a new simple method for linguistic fuzzy numbers calculations is defined. At the end tw...

However, it is widely debated what the task is testing and therefore how informative it is. Aims: The study aims to: i) evaluate the effects of different types of long-term linguisti...

In this paper, we describe the system developed for our participation in the Clinical TempEval task of SemEval 2016 (task 12). Our team focused on the subtasks of span and attribute identification from raw text and proposed a system that integrates both statistical and linguistic approaches. Our system is based on Conditional Random Fields with high-precision linguistic features.

The proliferation of country groupings indicates the need to assess the effectiveness of the current system for development cooperation and to explore better ways to manage the international system, as heterogeneity among developing countries increases. Great caution should be exercised in devising new country categories. Donors can use sound criteria for aid allocation without creating new gro...

We introduce SAPIENS, a platform for extracting quotations from news wires, associated with their author and context. The originality of SAPIENS is that it relies on a deep linguistic processing chain, which allows for extracting quotations with a wide coverage and an extended definition, including quotations which are only partially quotes-delimited verbatim transcripts. We describe the archit...

The central notion of structural linguistics is that of contrast or opposition: The linguistic value and role of a unit cannot be reduced to its physical substance, but is crucially determined by the network of relations that it enters into with other units of a similar kind: phoneme to phoneme, morpheme to morpheme, etc. A mid front vowel /e/ in a five-vowel system is something quite different...
