Concurrent collections provide thread-safe, highly-scalable operations, and are widely used in practice. However, programmers can misuse these concurrent collections when composing two operations where a check on the collection (such as non-emptiness) precedes an action (such as removing an entry). Unless the whole composition is atomic, the program contains an atomicity violation bug. In this ...

Idioms of distress communicate suffering via reference to shared ethnopsychologies, and better understanding of idioms of distress can contribute to effective clinical and public health communication. This systematic review is a qualitative synthesis of "thinking too much" idioms globally, to determine their applicability and variability across cultures. We searched eight databases and retained...

This paper discusses the t reatment of fixed word expressions developed for our ITS-2 FrenchEnglish translation system. This t reatment makes a clear distinction between compounds i.e. mult iword expressions of X°-level in which the chunks are adjacent and idiomatic phrases i.e. mult iword expressions of phrasal categories, where the chunks are not necessarily adjacent.

Using well-known AspectJ idioms has been shown to increase the reusability of aspect libraries. Availability of such reusable libraries is an important motivating factor to drive the further adoption of AspectJ in industry and aspect-oriented-programming in general. Existing work, however, mostly presents the existing AspectJ idioms as relatively independent solutions. As experience grows in us...

In this senior design project, we solve part of the problem of teaching common speech to second language English learners by focusing on idioms. We chose to focus on idioms because their figurative nature make them difficult to understand to second language learners, as their meanings can not be deciphered though a literal translation. Thus in order to understand idioms, the user must have prio...

Idioms are an ideal testbed for studying the interplay of lexical (content preparing) and syntactic (structure building) mechanisms in language production. This article contributes to the debate about the nature of these mechanisms and their relationship from the viewpoint of computational modeling. We present a neural network model of sentence generation, which is able to produce continuous an...

Natural languages are full of idiomatic uses, which while translating through present NLP system do not extract variations of idioms and proverbs.
