. Some users abuse the anonymity and disrupt communications in a community site. Authorship identification based on analyzing stylistic features of messages is effective in detecting these inadequate users. However, in this method, the scope of target users was often limited because the criteria for selecting learning examples were strict. …...

. This work is based on a terminological ontology method proposed by Madsen et al. (2004; 2005). The main purpose is to bridge a semantic relation between domain specific terms in two languages by mapping two language-dependent terminological ontologies. To explain why this method is preferable from the view of …...

. This paper presents two different approaches for identifying emotion holders from Bengali blog sentences. Two types of strategies yield average agreement measures of 0.78 and 0.80 for annotating emotion holders with respect to all emotion classes. The baseline model is developed based on the combinations of various part-of-speech (POS) …...

. This paper describes the work on automated Information Extraction that accepts arbitrary text and extracts information from the text. A new approach to implement Information Extraction system is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the article will be decomposed according to paragraph, sentence and phrase. Every sentence will be compared …...

: The aim of this study is to build natural language resources for languages with limited resources or minority languages. Manually building these resources is tedious and costly. These natural language resources such as a language corpora and lexicon will be used for natural language processing research and system development. …...

. Clitics in Arabic language can be attached to a stem or to each other without orthographic marks such as an apostrophe. In this paper we present a statistical study of clitics and its effect in Arabic language. We tokenize large Arabic text using white-spaces and an automatic clitics tokenizer …...

. Since Talmy (2000 a&b) introduced his linguistic typology based on event conflation, it has been the source of much debate and ongoing research. One area that can particularly benefit from such research is the field of Second Language Acquisition. Cadierno (2008), Inagaki (2002) and many others have attempted to …...

. Unlike Erteschik-Shir (1997) and de Swart (1999), we argue that the so-called Davidsonian arguments both in stage-level and individual-level predicates are able to function as topics, namely, existential stage topics and generic situation topics, respectively, which conforms with the well-known definiteness topic constraint. These two types of topics, however, …...

. In this paper, we describe the construction of a machine learning framework that exploit syntactic information in the recognition of biomedical terms and present the limits of machine learning in generating a novel term candidate list. Conditional random fields (CRF), is used as the basis of this framework. We …...

. In this paper, we present an application-driven low-cost concept of building a multi-purpose language resource for Czech which is based on currently available results of previous work by various research teams active in the area of natural language process- ing. We particularly focus on the first phase which consists …...

. The present paper describes the development of a query focused multi-document automatic summarization. A graph is constructed, where the nodes are sentences of the documents and edge scores reflect the correlation measure between the nodes. The system clusters similar texts having related topical features from the graph using edge …...

. In this paper, we focus on the task of identifying the best answer for a user- generated question in Collaborative Question Answering (CQA) services. Given that most existing research on CQA has focused on non-textual features such as click-through counts which are relatively difficult to access, we examine the …...

. Multilingual linguistic resources are usually constructed from parallel corpora, but since these corpora are available only for selected text domains and language pairs, the potential of other resources is being explored as well. This article seeks to explore and to exploit the idea of using multilingual web-based encyclopedias such …...

. Wikipedia is a potentially very useful source of information, but intuitively it is difficult to have confidence in the quality of an encyclopedia that anyone can modify. One aspect of correctness is writing style, which we examine in a computer based study of the full Japanese Wikipedia. This is …...

. This paper describes a preliminary effort in identifying many different types of relations among words in Thai sentences based on dependency grammar. The relation is represented as a triple containing the pair of words and their relation. So far, the current representation contains 35 grammatical relations. The dependencies are …...

. This paper discusses the semantic and pragmatic properties of Japanese benefac- tives with the main focus on the yaru-construction. The benefactive sentence is judged to be acceptable if the transitive verb complement falls into a certain semantic class in which the meaning of transfer of possession is expressed. Hence, …...

. This paper is aimed at uncovering a unifying computational grounding beneath a diverse range of cases of quantificational scope effects both within and across languages. Since quantificational scope readings are quite variable and interspersed with issues of modularity and interfaces of grammar, an underlying and universal generalization is certainly …...

. We present a new method for translating unrestricted natural language texts into predicate logic formulas. This relies on the semantic evaluation procedure of Scope Control Theory (SCT), a variant of Dynamic Semantic formalisms. The key benefit is that parsed syntactic structures are shown to form sufficient input for semantic …...

. This paper deals with an aspectual classification of Korean and Japanese verbs based on Vendler (1967). Both of Korean and Japanese verbs are classified into 12 distinctive aspectual categories by their restrictions on time adverbials, progressive tenses and logical entailments. A well-established aspectual verb classes provide us not only …...

. Despite the a priori desiratum of assimilating the derivation and interpretation of wh-questions in Japanese to that in English, empirical evidence shows that overt displacement of wh-phrases in Japanese is not the same as overt wh-movement in English. The syntax of wh-phrases in Japanese is essentially the same as …...
