The C&C CCG parser is a highly efficient linguistically motivated parser. The efficiency is achieved using a tightly-integrated supertagger, which assigns CCG lexical categories to words in a sentence. The integration allows the parser to request more categories if it cannot find a spanning analysis. We present several enhancements to the CKY chart parsing algorithm used by the parser. The firs...

Control chart techniques have been widely used in industries to monitor a process in quality improvement. Whenever we deal with variables data, we usually employ a combination of X-bar chart and R chart (or S chart) to monitor both the center and the spread of the process. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative, that is, we design a single chart to monitor both the center and the spread...

abstract. in recent years several studies have shown that  control charts with adaptive schemes or double sampling plans detect both small and moderate shifts in the process mean more quickly than the traditional shewhart  chart. in the classical double sampling  chart, the difference between two points were placed in the central region of first stage was not considered. in this study, a new co...

This paper describes a method to enhance the performance of a unification-style bottom-up chart parser by means of top-down filtering techniques. The filter developed consists of a syntactic module which prevents the construction of redundant edges in the chart by ensuring that a proposed edge in the chart can really be syntactically combined with neighboring edges later, and a semantic module ...

purpose: e is a commonly use letter for illiterates or those who could not read english to measure visual acuity. the e chart is the mainly used charts in iran. however, they do not have the standards. they are in different format, fixed for 6 meter test, with or without lighting, with unequal number of letters in each line and different contrasts. as a result, there is an essential need for a ...

BACKGROUND Temporal trends in clinical characteristics, management and prognosis of patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) remain to be elucidated in Japan. METHODSANDRESULTS From the Chronic Heart Failure Analysis and Registry in the Tohoku District-1 (CHART-1; 2000-2005, n=1,278) and CHART-2 (2006-present, n=10,219) Studies, we enrolled 1,006 and 3,676 consecutive symptomatic stage C/...

The CCC-r chart is developed based on cumulative count of a conforming (CCC) control chart that considers the cumulative number of items inspected until observing r nonconforming ones. Typically, the samples obtained from the process are analyzed through 100% inspection to exploit the CCC-r chart. However, considering the inspection cost and time would limit its implementation. In this paper, w...

A manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. Also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. This means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. In complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...
