The concept of software quality is more complex than what common people tend to believe. However, it is very popular both for common people and IT professionals. If we look at the definition of quality in a dictionary, it is usual to find something like the following: set of characteristics that allows us to rank things as better or worse than other similar ones. In many cases, dictionaries men...

This work presents an approach towards the representation theory of the braid groups Bn. We focus on finite-dimensional representations over the field of Laurent series which can be obtained from representations of infinitesimal braids, with the help of Drinfeld associators. We set a dictionary between representation-theoretic properties of these two structures, and tools to describe the repres...

We present a method for extracting verbal (diathesis) alternations from a valency dictionary, based on comparison of selectional restrictions. The quality of match between selectional restrictions is evaluated according to an entropy-based measure with backing-off facility. We use the proposed method to derive a provisional listing of the range and distribution of verbal alternations in Japanese.

We explicitly prove the equivalence and construct a dictionary between two different supersymmetric formalisms for five-dimensional theories commonly used in the literature. One is the real formalism, which consists in doubling the number of degrees of freedom and then imposing reality constraints and the other is the usual superfield formalism.

Are today’s neologisms indicating that we are all a bunch of pessimists? New words are produced at the rapid rate of about 15 per day and distributed online. Some words last only a week contained to a small circle of friends while others find a permanent residence in the dictionary. But, as with the words that came before them, they are subject to the force of language evolution. We track a set...

PART III In this part the general theoretical model is developed, in terms of constituent types and participation classes, to give methods for constructing syntactic dictionary entries for particular languages.

This paper describes the functional design of an interface for an online scholarly dictionary of contemporary standard Dutch, the ANW. One of the main innovations of the ANW is a twofold meaning description: definitions are accompanied by ‘semagrams’. In this paper we focus on the strategies that are available for accessing information in the dictionary and the role semagrams play in the dictio...
