The present paper introduces approach to improve English-Russian sentence alignment, based on POS-tagging of automatically aligned (by HunAlign) source and target texts. The initial hypothesis is tested on a corpus of bitexts. Sequences of POS tags for each sentence (exactly, nouns, adjectives, verbs and pronouns) are processed as “words” and DamerauLevenshtein distance between them is computed...

The idea of measuring distance between languages seems to have its roots in the work of the French explorer Dumont D'Urville (D'Urville 1832). He collected comparative words lists of various languages during his voyages aboard the Astrolabe from 1826 to1829 and, in his work about the geographical division of the Pacific, he proposed a method to measure the degree of relation among languages. Th...

Codebooks with small maximum cross-correlation amplitudes are used to distinguish the signals from different users in code division multiple access communication systems. In this paper, several classes of codebooks introduced, whose asymptotically achieve corresponding Welch bound and Levenshtein bound. Specially, a class optimal respect is obtained. These construct...
