Abstract The notion of complexity is evasive and often left to intuition, yet it invoked when studying heritage language grammars. In this article, we propose a first pass at decomposing the into smaller components in formal grammatical model. particular, argue that distributed model lexicon (i.e., one assumes principles generate both words phrases are same) allows us identify three components:...

We discuss a method for augmenting and rearranging a structured lexicon in order to make it more suitable for a topic labefing task, by making use of lexical association information from a large text corpus. We first describe an algorithm for converting the hierarchical structure of WordNet [13] into a set of flat categories. We then use lexical cooccurrence statistics in combination with these...

This paper presents the HITSZ_CITYU system in the CIPS-SIGHAN bakeoff 2010 Task 3, Chinese person name disambiguation. This system incorporates person name string recognition, person identity string recognition and an agglomerative hierarchical clustering for grouping the documents to each identical person. Firstly, for the given name index string, three segmentors are applied to segment the se...

Premature birth, birth before gestational week 37, is one of the most common risk factors associated with learning skill development. A review of literature suggests inconsistent results on the...
