will be employed in the analysis of the principle properties of the collocation approximations; the extension to nonlinear equations is straightforward (cf. [1, p. 225]). High-order numerical methods for VIDEs with weakly singular kernels may be found in [1,2,6,7,8]. In this note we shall consider collocation methods for VIDE (1.1), based on Brunner's approach [1]. The following method and nota...

In order to further research on the impact of collocations on readability, we have developed a software tool called ACFCalc. This tool calculates the Average Collocation Frequency for a sample text, based upon collocation frequency data from the sample text and from a reference corpus. The present paper describes the features of the ACFCalc application and details its requirements, in terms of ...

This paper reports on the development of a collocation extraction system that is designed within a commercial machine translation system in order to take advantage of the robust syntactic analysis that the system offers and to use this analysis to refine collocation extraction. Embedding the extraction system also addresses the need to provide information about the source language collocations ...

Simplest results presented here are the stability criteria of collocation methods for the second-order Volterra integrodifferential equation (VIDE) by polynomial spline functions. The polynomial spline collocation method is stable if all eigenvalues of a matrix are in the unit disk and all eigenvalues with |λ| = 1 belong to a 1× 1 Jordan block. Also many other conditions are derived depending u...

Three different spline-based approaches for solving Bratu and Bratu-type equations are presented. The classical cubic spline collocation method, an adaptive spline collocation on nonuniform partitions, and an optimal collocation method are derived for solving Bratu-type equations. Numerical examples are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of these methods when compared to other nume...

The domain adaptation capability of information extraction (IE) systems relies on automatic acquisition of domain specific knowledge. The domain specific knowledge contains domain relevant terms, semantic relations for ontology building, or lexicosyntactic patterns for template filling [Riloff & Jones 1999 and Yangarber et al 2000]. Recently, an ever-growing interest in automatic term extractio...

The collocation problem for noisy data with a piecewise constant noise variance is considered. An equivalence to the WIENERKOLMOGOROV equations in stationary collocation theory is constructed. A numerical solution based on HAAR wavelets is given.

The collocation of software development teams is common, especially in agile software development environments. However little is known about the impact of collocation on the team’s effectiveness. This paper explores the impact of collocating agile software development teams on a number of team effectiveness factors. The study focused on South African software development teams and gathered dat...

Dissertation Abstract comprise words for which neither word can be substituted by a synonym or hyponym. Potential colloca-tions comprising certain adjacent part-of-speech tags are extracted from text. An online thesaurus and a lexical database of word classes are queried for synonyms and hypo nyms, respectively, for each potential collocation. These queries create potential challenger pairs, su...
