Composing text on the computer is usually heavily dependent on editing, such as moving text around, correcting spacing, and inserting punctuation characters. Dictation systems, based on automatic speech recognition, are not known for their efficiency as an editing tool—something that significantly reduces their potential for freeing the user from the keyboard. Speech recognition has almost inva...

Introduction In aliased images, pixels from different parts of the field of view overlap. The task of parallel imaging reconstruction is equivalent to extracting each individual pixel from the sum. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has long sought to extract a signal of interest from overlapping signals at the same frequency using various spectral editing techniques. One very effective spec...

This paper focuses on the relationship between source text characteristics (ambiguity, complexity and style compliance) and machine-translation post-editing effort (both temporal and technical). Post-editing data is collected in a traditional translation environment and subsequently plotted against textual scores produced by a range of systems. Our findings show some strong correlation between ...

Designing appropriate materials and activities to enhance vocabulary learning is one of the primary goals of language courses. Among the claims about efficient pedagogical tasks is the Involvement Load Hypothesis (Laufer & Hulstijn, 2001) according to which vocabulary development is contingent on the amount of cognitive process a task involves. Building on the previous research on this hypothes...

The majority of the world’s languages have little to no NLP resources or tools. This is due to a lack of training data (“resources”) over which tools, such as taggers or parsers, can be trained. In recent years, there have been increasing efforts to apply NLP methods to a much broader swathe of the worlds languages. In many cases this involves bootstrapping the learning process with enriched or...

Recent advances in Programming by Example (PBE) have supported new applications to text editing, but existing approaches are limited to simple text strings. In this paper we address transformations in richly formatted documents, using an approach based on the idea of least general generalizations from inductive inference, which avoids the scalability issues faced by stateof-the-art PBE methods....

Making decorated logos requires image editing skills, without sufficient skills, it could be a time-consuming task. While there are many on-line web services to make new logos, they have limited designs and duplicates can be made. We propose using neural style transfer with clip art and text for the creation of new and genuine logos. We introduce a new loss function based on distance transform ...

Freud's Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality is one of the grounding texts of 20th century European thinking. In it Freud develops a highly original theory of sexuality for which hysteria (and pathology in general) serves a model to understand human existence. Freud published this text five times during his lifetime. This article wants to reconstruct the first edition with regard to the stat...
