Quartet members 390.
(photo credit:REUTERS/ERIC THAYER)
Senior Quartet representatives will meet in Washington on Wednesday amid little
expectation that they will have more luck this time kick-starting direct
negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, EU foreign policy chief
Catherine Ashton, UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon and Quartet envoy Tony Blair
will meet on the sidelines of the G-8 foreign ministers' meeting in Washington
and discuss the Israeli-Palestinian diplomatic process.Blair and US
Middle East envoy David Hale were in the region last week holding meetings with
the sides and preparing for the Quartet parley.The meeting comes as a
framework for entering into negotiations that the Quartet unfurled in September
at the UN failed to bear fruit. That framework did lead to low-level talks under
Jordanian auspices in January, but that round ended on January 25 with the
Palestinians saying they would only continue if Israel stopped all settlement
construction, accepted the June 5, 1967, lines as the baseline for future talks
and released a number of Fatah prisoners incarcerated before the Oslo accords.
Israel refused those preconditions.The September Quartet framework
called for an initial meeting between the two sides within 30 days, leading to
the trading of comprehensive proposals on security and territory within three
months, and an overall agreement by the end of 2012.The Quartet, whose
overall effectiveness has been increasingly questioned because of Russian-US
rivalries that often play out and render reaching consensus decisions difficult,
last met at this level in March amid the fighting in the South. At that meeting,
where Ashton and Blair joined via video conference, the Quartet issued a bland
statement expressing "concern" about the violence in the South and calling on
the Israelis and Palestinians to "remain engaged" and "refrain from provocative
actions."US ambassador Dan Shapiro told The Jerusalem Post last week
that the Quartet wanted to see the discussions that began in Jordan "continue
and get increasingly into the core issues."Shapiro said efforts continue
to "get the parties to feel that they can have the kind of discussion that
ultimately could produce progress on some of these core issues – territory and
security being the first pair, and then moving to other issues."While
the prospects for immediate breakthroughs "are probably not very bright, that
doesn't mean you can't make some progress, and set the groundwork for larger
progress at some period of time," Shapiro said.There will likely be
"continuity" between the Quartet's statement in September and what will emerge
from Wednesday's meeting in Washington, the US envoy said.On the eve of
the Quartet meeting, the PA announced that it was seeking a UN Security Council
resolution condemning continued construction in West Bank settlements and east
Jerusalem.On Monday, the PA envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour, submitted a
letter to the Security Council members and Ban, calling on them to condemn
settlement activity Riyad al-Maliki told Agence France Press.He said that the letter called
for "urgent measures to put pressure on the occupying power, which is Israel, to
compel it to stop these actions and policies immediately."The letter,
according to Maliki, warns that Israel's "illegal and destructive plans not only
inflame tensions but further underscore the dubious nature of the occupying
power's claims of readiness to negotiate a peace settlement."The letter
accuses Israel of working toward destroying the two-state solution with its
continuing illegal settlement campaign.

City Of Hamilton Profile
- Date:
- Nov 11 2013
Hamilton offers all the key ingredients to become the next creative industrial hotbed in Canada. An excellent quality of life, affordable living options, easy access to major markets within a 100 km radius including Toronto and the northern U.S.A., and most importantly, a well-developed and growing local scene. For over 100 years Hamilton has had a vibrant and dynamic creative industries cluster that is in the beginning stages of yet another boom period. From our foundations as Canada's industrial heartland, Hamilton as a "city of artists" in many fields has driven local prosperity. Artists and creative businesses in most every discipline have thrived in our community as there is growing internal and external markets for local creativity, strong opportunities for presentation, excellent networks that are easy to access, and a growing population who engage in their local cultural community.
In 2012 and 2013, Site Selection Magazine out of Atlanta, GA named Hamilton the top investment city in Canada, and the Calgary-based Real Estate Investment Network ranked Hamilton the top location across the province of Ontario for investment in 2012 and 2013l. Hamilton has also been ranked in the top cities in North America by FDI Magazine (a publication of the world-famous Financial Times) for quality of life.
Hamilton also offers the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit (OFTTC) - a refundable tax credit (http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/credit/ofttc/). It is available to corporations for eligible Ontario labour expenses on Ontario film and television productions. A further credit of 10% of Ontario labour expenses is available for filming outside the Greater Toronto Area here in Hamilton!
With a talented and educated workforce, tax credit advantages, stunning natural amenities and a diverse, resilient economy, it's all happening here in Hamilton.

I'm trying to create an appwidget that has a standard size of 4x2 tiles. Currently, I'm using these values:
On my Desire running Gingerbread, the widget shows as 4x2.
On my Asus TF101 tablet running ICS, the widget gets a size of 4x2.
Finally, in an emulator 720x1280 running ICS, the widget gets a size of 4x3.
So I'm a bit confused here. What are the correct values (perhaps using different resource folders) to achieve a 4x2 widget on all devices?

Chevrolet just posted a new video on your their YouTube channel called "Candles" which features the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible with the 60th Anniversary Edition. As the length of the video is actually 30 seconds, we're hoping to see this commercial run during this weekend's broadcast of the 12 Hours of Sebring.
427 Convertible
Chevy uploaded three new videos to their official Corvette website which promotes the upcoming 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition. The videos feature Corvette Racing driver Tommy Milner, who is seen both in front of the camera as well as behind the wheel as he aggressively drives the new special edition Corvette with the 60th Anniversary package on the track at Virginia International Raceway.
Fresh off its appearance at Barrett-Jackson, where VIN #001 raised $700,000 for charity, the 2013 427 Convertible featuring the 60th Anniversary Package is now on display at the Chicago Auto Show. Although absent in Scottsdale, the new two-toned striped convertible top is now on the car and thanks to our friends at Kerbeck Corvette, we can share the first photos of the newest ragtop Corvette from the Windy City.
We've finally reached the end of a frenzied month of collector car auctions in Florida and Arizona. Our DVR is still smoldering from the 72 hours of recording over the last couple of weeks. Since Top 10 lists can be a little cliché, we've sifted through all of the results and compiled a list of the top 11 January Corvette sales.
With much fanfare, the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition with the 60th Anniversary package drove up on the Barrett-Jackson auction block Saturday afternoon and was hammered sold for $600,000. Minutes later it was annouced that William Vannoy, the losing bidder in the auction, had also donated $100,000 to the sale to bring the total amount raised for charity to $700,000. Buying the rights to buy the VIN 001 2013 Corvette was Barrett-Jackson regular Ron Pratte.
As time ticks down to the sale of the first 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible at Barrett-Jackson this Saturday, interested buyers and enthusiasts alike are able to get up close and personal with the new car which is set up at the Chevrolet display. Our friend Chris Draper was in Scottsdale yesterday to take in Barrett-Jackson and provides these pictures of the 60th Anniversary car on display along with a first-year 1953 Corvette.
Chevrolet's fastest Corvette drop top, the new 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible, will be the talk of the internet today as it well should be. Somewhat buried in the press release is that the very first saleable Corvette 427 wearing what we assume will be VIN 001 is scheduled to be sold at Barrett-Jackson's collector car auction in Scottsdale next weekend.
With the 2013 model year being both the 60th anniversary of the Corvette as well as the C6′s final year of production, it has been widely anticipated that Chevrolet will offer something special for Corvette enthusiasts. This morning the rumors of anniversary packages and a new special model have been answered as we are very excited to introduce the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition as well as the all new 2013 60th Anniversary package.

Joe Jonas made his first planned public appearance since the whole Jonas Brothers brouhaha in Los Angeles last night (Oct. 17).
Is Joe Jonas' Drug Addiction at the Root of the Jonas Brothers Tour Cancellation?
Jonas Brothers fans were shocked and bummed when they cancelled their tour, citing a "deep rift within the band." While that explanation sounds shady, it may be a euphemism for a bigger problem: Joe Jonas is rumored to be dealing with addiction issues.

Joe Jonas Disses Taylor Swift … Again
It's ancient history at this point, but we all remember that Joe Jonas dumped Taylor Swift in 2008, before she was a huge superstar and while the Jonas Brothers were at the apex of their fame. The tables have turned, and now Swift is the biggest artist in pop music, far surpassing the Jo Bros' fame. While we'd like to think that Joe Jo might wish he could get those 27 seconds in which he broke up with Swift back and thus alter the course of their lives, he sorta dissed T. Swizzle … again.
Joe Jonas Plans to Get Nick Wasted on His 21st Birthday [AUDIO]

With Father Time catching up to the hunk who dates hotties like it's his job, Joe Jo is more interested in helping his little brother Nick Jonas wet his whistle for his 21st birthday this year.
That's Sept. 16, all you calendar watchers.

analyzing said input text on the basis of the at least one linguistic resource; and
based on a result of the analysis of said input text, generating said body of text on the basis of said at least one linguistic resource.
The present invention generally relates to the field of text processing including information extraction and more particularly to the generation of a reduced body of text, such as a summary containing relevant information provided in a natural language.
The development of electronic data processing systems in combination with storage media of immense capacity provides the potential for storing data in virtually infinite amounts and thus renders it increasingly difficult to extract relevant information from these data that is required for specified applications. The problem of selecting relevant pieces of information from an oversupply of information is even exacerbated by the rapid development of powerful networks, enabling high data transmission rates at moderately low cost. Hence, the creation and distribution of information, which is commonly per se considered a positive characteristic in view of social, economic, and scientific aspects, may become a problem since it may be extremely difficult and time consuming to assess and evaluate the information provided for a field of interest. Hence, fast and reliable techniques for �screening� information, for instance provided in the form of text from sources like the Internet, intranets, digital libraries, and the like, are of great importance, and considerable efforts have been made to develop techniques for extracting and obtaining the information needed.
The availability of powerful electronic tools, such as computers and networks, allows access to various kinds of information by various types of users who may have quite different requirements, different levels of education and expertise with respect to the type of information they wish to gather. For instance, if a person has health problems and is interested in finding information about his/her health status and possible therapies, a large amount of information, though accessible to the person, may not, however, be taken into consideration owing to a lack of expertise, which may reside in the fact that the person may not understand the language in which the information is provided, or the person may not be familiar with the terminology typically used in this field. Therefore, techniques have been developed so as to provide a text summary or abstract for one or more bodies of text in a comprehensible manner and in fluid natural language, thereby enabling the user to assess whether the full text should be consulted or not.
Document summarization is a well-established technique in the field of written texts, such as journal articles and the like, wherein an abstract is provided along with the article. However, summarizing the contents of a text that is not provided with a precise and comprehensible abstract is a time-consuming task and requires skill and experience of the person summarizing the text. Frequently, the text to be evaluated may include a plurality of different aspects, which are differently weighted by the author, while an interested user may have completely different priorities with respect to the importance of some aspects of the text which may be incompletely only or not at all reflected in the provided abstract. For these reasons, a great deal of research has been done so as to provide user specific text summaries.
For instance, in �Text Generation from Message Understanding Conference Templates�, PhD thesis by Nicola Cancedda, University of Rome, 1999, a method is disclosed to generate text using MUC (Message Understanding Conference) templates resulting from an information extraction system. The architecture proposed allows the generation of text from MUC templates and thus makes the template content directly accessible. However, the text generation based on MUC templates may not guarantee that for any MUC template a corresponding natural language text will be generated properly, thereby rendering this technique unreliable for certain applications.
�Multilingual Summarization by Integrating Linguistic Resources in the MLIS-MUSI Project�, by Alessandro Enzi, et al., Proceedings of the Third International Conference of Language Resources and Evaluation, May 29-31, 2002 in Spain, describes an automatic abstract production with multilingual output. The method is based on sentence extraction using pattern matching of expressions, user query processing, and sentence positions. Appropriate weights are assigned to sentences according to these parameters wherein the linguistic tools are then used to construct a conceptual representation from the sentences selected, wherein the representation then serves as an input for the text generator. Although the summarization is intended as a query biased process, thereby allowing the identification of user-specified information, this method relies on a statistic-based module for relevant sentence extraction, and hence may not provide for the required flexibility in the text analysis.
In �Using Information Extraction and Natural Language Generation to Answer Email� by Leila Kossein, et al., Fifth International Conference on Application of Natural Language to Information Systems, Versailles, France, 2001, a system is presented that combines the information extraction, extraction based summarization, and natural language generation to support user directed multi-document summarization. The information extraction phase is based on machine learning techniques, wherein a multi-document input text is worked with that requires a merging method, thereby rendering this approach complex and less flexible.
In U.S. patent application Publication Ser. No. 2002/0078090 A1, by Chung-Hee Hwung et al., entitled �Ontological Concept Based User Centric Text Summarization�, a method and a system are disclosed using a domain ontology to extract concepts. During the generation of the output text, a classical sentence selection method is used, thereby rendering this system less flexible with respect to the generation of output texts having a �level�, for instance in terms of type of language and/or terminology with respect to the input text.
In view of the situation described above, a need continues to exists for an improved technique that allows an efficient and reliable generation of an output text, possibly in a reduced version, for a given input text while at the same time providing for the potential of �adjusting� the content, the level of expertise (i.e., the terminology, or the language) of the output text.
The present invention is generally directed at a technique that enables the generation of a normalized summary or rundown from one or more raw texts belonging to a given domain. These rundowns or summaries may be generated in a natural language at different levels, that is, the terminology used in the raw text may be altered on the basis of specified criteria and/or the rundowns or summaries may be presented in one more different languages. Moreover, the technique according to the present invention provides the potential for selecting one or more criteria by a user so as to reflect the user's interests in the output text. Generally, the present invention is based on the concept that linguistic resources associated with a model of the domain that the one or more raw texts belong to are commonly used for an input text analysis and the output text generation.
According to one illustrative embodiment of the present invention a method of generating a body of text from an input text comprises establishing a domain model of the input text and associating at least one linguistic resource with the established domain model. Furthermore, the input text is analyzed on the basis of the at least one linguistic resource and then, depending on a result of the analysis of the input text, the body of text is generated on the basis of the at least one linguistic resource.
In this illustrative embodiment, one or more texts of a specified domain may be analyzed by using a model created for the specified domain, wherein the model may include well-defined or �salient� concepts and respective interactions or relations of these concepts. The relations or interactions may be represented by informative structures, which may, in a first step, be �filled� or instantiated by means of a linguistic analysis of the one or more input texts. The results of the linguistic analysis, i.e., the instantiated informative structures, then feed an automatic text generator so as to provide a natural language output of the input text. Since the output text generation is based on the linguistic analysis, the output text generation may be normalized and may be performed in a �parallel� fashion, thereby offering the potential for translating the contents of interest of the input text into different languages or different terminologies. For instance, information of interest contained in one or more input texts of the specified domain may be provided in a plurality of different natural languages so as to allow a user to screen texts written in a language which is unfamiliar to him/her. Similarly, the output text generation on the basis of the linguistic analysis enables�in addition or alternatively to providing different natural languages�to adapt the terminology of the domain text to, for instance, a user-specified or otherwise selected level of expertise or different terminology. For example, highly specific texts may be rendered accessible by an average person by correspondingly establishing the model of the domain or by providing a corresponding interaction grammar at the text generation section so as to �translate� the highly specific language to a language comprehensible by a non-expert. Moreover, performing the output text generation on the basis of the linguistic resources established for the input text analysis, a proper output text is guaranteed for every instantiated informative structure produced by the input text analysis. Consequently, the principle of commonly using the linguistic resources associated with the domain model for both input text analysis and output text generation provides for an increased flexibility compared to conventional systems in which typically the linguistic analysis is omitted or limited to a superficial chunking.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the domain model is established by defining a plurality of concepts and defining one or more relations for at least one of the concepts. The definition of concepts and relations thereof provides an effective means to represent, for instance, properties and functions that are attached to any domain entities or interactions between any domain entities.
In a further embodiment, the method comprises defining, as a linguistic resource, at least one informative structure representing the one or more relations. Hence, by defining the informative structure an effective means is provided for extracting and conveying information of interest during a subsequent analyzing step.
In a further embodiment, the at least one informative structure is defined in accordance with a user's interest. Hence, specific requirements on the contents to be extracted from the input text may readily be met by correspondingly defining the informative structure. The defining of the informative structure may readily be performed in advance when user or application specific requirements on the desired information are known ahead of time.
In a further embodiment, one or more informative structures are selected from the at least one informative structure by a user so as to specify information of interest. Hence, the provision of a plurality of informative structures, which may be selected by a user in conformity with their interests, a high degree of flexibility in screening input texts of the specified domain is achieved. Moreover, the selection of specified informative structures may be carried interactively or in advance, wherein particularly the interactive selection allows for an �immediate� response to the result of the presently or a previously obtained output text. The selection of an appropriate informative structure may be accomplished by directly selecting the structure of interest or by using representatives or symbols related to the informative structures.
In a further embodiment, the at least one linguistic resource includes one or more lexicons and/or one or more thesauri and/or one or more terminological resources and/or one or more entity recognizers to identify at least one basic concept of the domain model.
By providing one of these linguistic resources, powerful and efficient means are provided so as to analyze the input text. For instance, the provision of terminological resources enables the identification of concepts and/or interactions of these concepts even if provided with different technical languages or different levels of expertise of a technical language. Moreover, the provision of one or more of the above-identified linguistic resources may provide, in combination with a translator, the potential for entering input texts of different languages for the specified domain.
In a further embodiment, the method comprises identifying an equivalence between a first lexical or syntactic structure and a second lexical or syntactic structure when the first and second lexical or syntactical structures are associated with the same relation of the one or more relations associated with the one or more concepts.
The identification of equivalent lexical or syntactic structures provides for the potential of analyzing the input text in a highly flexible fashion and/or enables the adaptation of different levels of a technical language. For example, one or more equivalencies between first and second structures may be identified that relate a highly specified technical phrase to a more comprehensible �conversational� phrase, although both the first and the second structure may refer to substantially the same relation, i.e., interaction, function, properties, and the like of a specified concept.
In a further embodiment, the method further comprises establishing a representation of the identified equivalencies as an element of the at least one linguistic resource. By providing an appropriate representation of the identified equivalencies as one of the linguistic resources, the identified equivalencies are a part of the input text analysis and may assist in actually analyzing an input text so as to provide for an increased �coverage� of the input text with respect to information of interests and/or provide for the potential of adapting the input terminology to a desired output terminology.
According to a further embodiment, the step of analyzing the input texts comprises recognizing a basic concept in the domain model and extracting a syntactic relation involving the basic concept. Moreover, the extracted syntactic relation is normalized on the basis of lexical and structural equivalencies associated with the domain model.
As previously pointed out, the recognition of a basic concept and the extraction of a syntactic relation associated with the basic concept in the input text enables a highly efficient method for normalizing the extracted syntactic relation�especially when a set of lexical and structural equivalencies is provided in combination with the domain model�by, for instance, instantiating any informative structures associated with the extracted syntactic relation.
In a further embodiment, the definition of informative structures representing the one or more relations, the definition of structural equivalencies associated with the domain model, the parsing of the input text, the normalization of the parses of the input text according to the defined structural equivalencies and the instantiation of the one or more informative structures is accomplished by the same formalism.
Hence, a high degree of compatibility of the individual steps in analyzing the input text in accordance with the domain model is obtained by using the same formalism for the above-specified process steps.
In a further embodiment, the generation of the body of text further comprises receiving an informative structure representing one or more of the relations, wherein the informative structure is instantiated during the analysis of the input text. Then, the body of text is generated on the basis of the domain model and the instantiated informative structure.
As a consequence, since the body of text is generated on the basis of the domain model and its associated linguistic resources, a proper formalization of the body of text is guaranteed for any instantiated informative structure supplied thereto.
In another embodiment, the method further comprises the retrieval of a textual element from the input text, wherein the textual element is associated with an instantiated informative structure.
In this way, textual elements such as clauses, modifiers, neighboring sentences, etc. appearing in the context of a specified instantiated informative structure may be achieved, even if the textual element is not selected as an argument in instantiating the specified informative structure. For instance, relevant information may be contained in a sentence that does not directly refer to a basic concept, but instead a pronoun may be used in this sentence. The sentence containing the pronoun may nevertheless be retrieved for further analysis, even though instantiating a corresponding informative structure requires the basic concept as an argument of the informative structure.
In a further embodiment, one or more textual elements outside of the informative structure are selected as contextual elements for the informative structure, wherein the body of text is also generated on the basis of the selected contextual elements.
In this way, the body of text produced may be enriched or complemented by using the selected contextual elements so that normalized, possibly translated, text may be provided within its original context
In a further embodiment, a second body of text is generated for the contextual elements by means of a text generator that is based on a model other than the domain model. By providing the second body of text, the output text based on instantiated informative structures may be provided vis-a-vis the second body of text representing the contextual elements, wherein the second body of text is not controlled by the established domain model. For instance, a controlled and non-controlled translation of output text may be provided at the same time.
In a further embodiment, the body of text is edited upon user request. Preferably, the request for amendment may be entered interactively so as to provide a high degree of flexibility in creating an output text containing the required information. In other embodiments, the request for editing the body of text may be supplied in advance, wherein specific criteria regarding the desired amendments may be stored and activated upon completing the body of text or upon providing the body of text. For instance, editing the body of text may merely include amendments of the text format, or in other cases may, additionally or alternatively, semantic and/or syntactic amendments.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises a storage element containing data representing a model of a specified domain and representing linguistic resources associated with the domain. Moreover, an input text analyzer is operatively connected with the storage element, wherein the input text analyzer is configured to receive an input text and provide normalized informative structures representative of at least a portion of the input text on the basis of the linguistic resources and the domain model. Furthermore, the system comprises an output text generator configured to receive normalized informative structures from the input text analyzer. The output text generator is further configured to provide natural language output text on the basis of the informative structures and the linguistic resources.
The system of the present invention is thus configured to perform the methods as specified above, thereby providing substantially the same advantages.
These and other aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein the same reference numerals have been applied to like parts, and in which:
As summarized, the present invention is based on the concept of analyzing an input text and providing an output text in natural language, wherein in many applications the output text may be reduced in volume compared to the input text. Thereby, in some embodiments, the reduction in volume is related to application and/or user specific criteria. Moreover, it is to be noted that the term �text� as used herein is to be understood as a definite amount of information that may be conveyed by natural language, irrespective of the specific representation of the amount of information. That is, an input text according to the present invention may represent information conveyed by natural language in the form of speech, a written text, or coded data that may be readily converted or reconverted into comprehensible text, i.e., in speech or written text. Thus, an audio file including information containing a text passage may be considered as an input text. Since text specific information is typically looked for and extracted from text portions in written form, in the following detailed description a written text is referred to wherein it should be borne in mind that the term �text� may be used in the more general form as described above unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the appended claims.
In a first step 111, prominent or salient concepts attached to any domain entities are defined. These salient concepts may be represented by specified product types, such as toxic chemical agents, wherein the concepts may be organized in any parallel or hierarchic structure. For instance, if �toxic chemical agent� represents a basic concept, �natural chemical agents� and �manufactured chemical agents� may represent concepts that are hierarchically arranged below the basic concept. However, the concepts of the domain model may be defined and selected in any manner appropriate for a specified application and/or specified user's interests. The definition and recognition of the salient concepts of a specified domain may be performed on the basis of a given input text so as to provide a high degree of �coverage� of information contained in the input text, wherein in other embodiments the salient concepts may be established without referring to a specified input text. In this case, a reference to one or more specified texts, serving as illustrative examples of the specified domain, may facilitate the extraction of salient concepts.
In a next step 112, relations between the concepts may be identified, wherein these relations may represent, for instance, properties and functions attached to the domain entities or may represent interactions between such entities. The identification of the relations in step 112 may, in combination with the definition of the salient concepts, provide for a first means for controlling �amount� and �direction� of an �information vector�, that is, the accuracy and the topic of information to be extracted in a subsequent text analysis step, since the diversity of the relations in combination with the diversity of the concepts basically determines the degree of information extraction and thus the diversity of different topics that may be addressed by a user. For instance, if only a few toxic chemical agents are identified and only a few properties of each of the toxic chemical agents are specified as relations, the subsequent text analysis is substantially restricted to these few chemical agents, irrespective of whether the user actually aims at obtaining information on other chemical agents.
In step 113, one or more linguistic resources are built such that these resources reflect the domain model and possibly the interests of a user. The linguistic resources may include thesauri, lexical and terminological resources, entity recognizers, and grammars associated with the concepts. Moreover, the linguistic resources comprise informative structures representing at least some of the relations between concepts, wherein the definition of the informative structures may be made in conformity with application specific requirements and/or user specific requirements. That is, assuming that a sufficient variety of concepts and relations is defined and identified in the steps 111 and 112, the building of informative structures or the selection of informative structures after building the same enables control of the information extraction according to application specific and/or user specific requirements. The informative structures are �filled� (i.e., instantiated) with particular values or arguments during the input text analysis 140 so as to convey extracted information in a normalized fashion. The linguistic resources including the informative structures thus define the �information vector space� of the associated domain model, i.e., they represent the type of information that can be extracted and the corresponding accuracy. In combination with the domain model, the linguistic resources also represent an important portion of the input text analysis 140 and the output text generation 180.
In some embodiments, the instantiated informative structures may be evaluated prior to being supplied to the output text generation so as to allow a rejection or scoring of informative structures. For instance, a user or an application may require the screening of a large amount of input texts, wherein merely the summarization of highly relevant text portions is considered appropriate. In this case, a �relevance level� may be defined and selected, interactively or in advance, so as to avoid the generation of undesired output texts when an informative structure does not match the relevance level. A corresponding relevance level may be established on the basis of the degree of instantiation of one or more specified informative structures or on the number of instantiated informative structures, and the like. For example, if an input text results in a low number of instantiated informative structures and/or when a specified type of informative structure is only filled with a number of arguments that is considered too low, the creation of an output text may be denied so as to save on computational resources and to not overburden the user. Hence, for the screening of a large amount of input texts, an output text generator is not unduly occupied by the generation of less relevant output texts. Moreover, the output text generation may be delayed until the relevance level of each of a plurality of input texts is established, thereby also saving on computational resources.
With reference to
An example of an informative structure is denoted as use (product, function, introduction-function, purpose, introduction-purpose, time), wherein: the argument �product� has to be instantiated with the name of the toxic product described; the argument �function� has to be instantiated with a nominal expressing its function; the argument �introduction-function� represents the correct preposition used in generating an output text so as to correctly introduce the name of the product conveyed by the argument product; the argument �purpose� has to be substantiated with a nominal expression describing the purpose of the use of the toxic product; the argument �introduction-purpose� represents the correct preposition to be used during the generation of output text so as to correctly introduce the name conveyed by the argument purpose; and the argument �time� is to be instantiated as present or past, depending on whether the produce is still being used or not. Another example of an informative structure is denoted as physical-property (toxic product, property verb), wherein the argument �toxic product� is to be instantiated with the name of the toxic product, and the argument �property verb� is to be instantiated with a verb characterizing a physical property of the product.
It should be noted that some of the informative structures defined may not necessarily be �filled� or instantiated with respect to all arguments if the text does not provide all the information of interest. Moreover, two or more informative structures of the same type may be instantiated if the text refers to two or more relations, which the informative structure refers to. For instance, the same toxic product may readily burn and may readily evaporate so that two informative structures of the type physical-property may be instantiated. It should be appreciated that the system 200 may comprise any means for establishing the linguistic resources and the informative structures and provide them to the storage element 210 in any appropriate representation required for the further usage during the text analysis and the text generation.
The system 200 further comprises a text analyzer, which is embodied in the present example as the incremental parser described in the Xerox Incremental Parser Publications detailed above. The incremental parser offers a formalism that, among other things, enables the extraction of syntactic dependencies between lexical units in a text. Domain specific lexical knowledge, that is, names of chemical elements, color names, and the like, which are derived from the domain model, are implemented in the text analyzer 240. Moreover, structural equivalencies may be implemented in the analyzer 240 by identifying pertinent facts and relations in the domain. For instance, expressions like �the product is flammable� and �the product burns easily� are considered as semantically equivalent to convey the information that a product can burn. It should be noted that a plurality of structural equivalencies may be coded and implemented into the incremental parser. For instance, correspondingly coded equivalencies may also be used to adapt different levels of a technical language. For example, the expression �the product has a high activation energy� may be considered equivalent to the expression that �the product does not react easily with other products�.
The system 200 further comprises an output text generator 280, which may be provided in the form of an interactive high-level document authoring system. In one example, the high-level document authoring system may be designed for assisting monolingual writers in the production of controlled multilingual or monolingual documents. The high-level document authoring system used in this example enables to interactively establish documents under the control of the system, wherein the semantic consistency is a result of possible choices of the user.
In one embodiment, the high-level document authoring system is the MDA (Multilingual Document Authoring) system developed by Xerox Corporation which is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/XXX,XXX, entitled �Systems And Methods For Semantic Stenography� by Dymetman et al., which is incorporated herein by reference, as well as in, the following references, which are incorporated herein by reference: Caroline Brun, Marc Dymetman, Veronika Lux, �Document Structure and Multilingual Text Authoring�, in the Proceedings of INLG'2000, Mitzpe Ramon, Israel, 2000; Marc Dymetman, Veronika Lux, Aarne Ranta, �XML and Multilingual Document Authoring: Converging Trends�, in the Proceedings of COLING'2000, Saarbrucken, Germany, 2000; Aur�lien Max, Marc Dymetman, �Document Content Analysis through Fuzzy Inverted Generation�, in AAAI 2002 Spring Symposium on Using (and Acquiring) Linguistic (and World) Knowledge for Information Access, Stanford University, United States, 2002; Marc Dymetman, �Document Content Authoring and Hybrid Knowledge Bases�, in the Proceedings of KRDB-02 (Knowledge Representation meets Knowledge Bases), Toulouse, France, 2002; and Marc Dymetman, �Text Authoring, Knowledge Acquisition and Description Logics�, in the Proceedings of COLING-02, Taiwan, August 2002.
This MDA high-level document authoring system is further configured to extend conventional syntax driven editors so that semantic choices down to the level of words are possible when authoring the document content. Moreover, dependencies between distant parts of the document can be specified in such a way that a change in one part of the document is reflected in a change in some other part of the document. The content of a document is described within the MDA high-level document authoring system in a formalism denoted as interaction grammar, which is derived from Prolog's definite clause grammars (DCG). In the present example, the interaction grammar of the output text generator 280 is designed in conformity with the domain model and the informative structures implemented in the storage element 210. Moreover, the interaction grammar of the text generator 280 may include two or more parallel versions to produce the output texts in different languages and/or different levels of a technical language.
Furthermore, the system 200 comprises a network 250, which is connected to the storage element 210, the text analyzer 240, and the output text generator 280. The network 250 may represent any appropriate platform for providing data in an appropriate format to the individual components, wherein the network 250 may provide a temporary connection or a permanent connection, depending on the requirements. For instance, the network, 250 may represent a data BUS in a computer system that enables data transfer between any input/output portions, one or more central processing units, and any storage means required for the operation of the system 200. In other embodiments, the network 250 may represent a wireless communications system that provides for the data transfer between the individual components of the system 200. Moreover, the network 250 may have the capability so as to access a desired input text from a specified source, such as any volatile and non-volatile storage media, the Internet, and intranet, and the like.
During the operation of the system 200, the storage element 210 provides the linguistic resources, including the informative structures, defined, for instance, in a way as previously explained. Then, a respective input text is provided to the input text analyzer 240, for instance, via the network 250. Based on the linguistic resources, including the informative structures and any structural or lexical equivalencies, the relevant informative structures may be instantiated, wherein application specific requirements and/or user interests may be taken into account as is described above with reference to
For instance, the analysis may be divided into two stages. In the first stage, the incremental parser of the analyzer 240 may extract syntactic functions such as subject, object, modifier, quantification between the lexical units of the input text. To this end, the incremental parser may be adapted so as to be able to process the whole text without being restricted to a single sentence. Moreover, the incremental parser may have implemented a mechanism for anaphora resolution for possessives and pronouns, which in the present example may be readily accomplished since the toxic product is always the anaphoric referent. Moreover, the incremental parser may then be applied with a new grammar after the general dependency analysis, wherein the newly applied grammar combines the previously calculated general syntactic dependencies, properties of derivational morphology, deep syntactic properties, such as passive-active correspondence, verb class alternation, and the like, and domain specific synonymy, thereby producing deep syntactic and normalized relations between lemmas representing the lexical units of the text.
In a second stage of the analysis, the informative structures are instantiated with particular terms. Consequently, these instantiated, informative structures convey the information to be extracted, wherein the task of instantiating is performed on the basis of the results produced by the first stage of analysis. For example, assuming that the informative structure �physical-property� is to be instantiated, and the previous stage of analysis has detected that a linguistic expression denoting a toxic product, say atrazine, is linked to the adjective �flammable� by the attribute �dependency�, the informative structure physical-property is instantiated as physical-property (atrazine, burn), since the previously coded structural equivalence assigns the adjective �flammable� to the verb �burn�.
After the instantiation of a plurality of informative structures, these structures are conveyed to the output text generator 280 via the network 250 so as to produce one or more desired bodies of texts having respective characteristics with respect to type of language and/or type of terminology and/or format and/or style, and the like, depending on the capabilities and instruction set encoded in the text generator 280. As previously explained, in one embodiment the MDA system from Xerox is implemented in the text generator 280 contains an interaction grammar, wherein the interaction grammar may comprise a realization grammar representing a first set of rules enabling the linguistic realization of the informative structures contained in the domain model. For instance, these rules may be designed so as to produce a short paragraph to describe a particular toxic substance with respect to characteristics such as, what it is, what it looks like, what its origin is, what its synonyms are, what is it used for. A second layer of the interaction grammar may be considered as a domain specific grammar representing a second set of rules encoding the knowledge extracted from the instantiation of the informative structures. In the present example, these rules encode the different characteristics of a given toxic substance to be described. As previously noted, the realization grammar and the domain specific grammar may each be provided in parallel versions so as to produce output texts in different languages, different technical languages, different styles, and the like.
It should be appreciated that the examples illustrated and described above are of illustrative nature only and a variety of modifications may be performed without departing from the principles of the present invention. For instance, the output text generator 280 may provide interactive capabilities so as to enable an amendment of the output text upon request. Also, if an output text is obtained by operating the system 200, which lacks information required, the missing information may be readily introduced by a domain expert interactively editing the output text. The same applies with respect to any amendments regarding linguistic aspects, such as reduction or enrichment of technical terms and the like. Moreover, a plurality of multilingual input texts may be entered, wherein preferably the domain model and the informative structures are adapted to the different languages. For instance, a plurality of sets of informative structures, each set corresponding to a specified language, may be established and the input text analyzer may be provided in a parallel version so as to be able to instantiate the different sets of informative structures. Furthermore, a correlation between the different multilingual sets may be established in advance so that the multilingual sets of instantiated informative structures may be replaced by a single set of informative structures, which then may be processed as previously described.
Using the foregoing specification, the invention may be implemented as a machine (or system), process (or method), or article of manufacture by using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce programming software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the flow diagrams described in the specification are meant to provide an understanding of different possible embodiments of the invention. As such, alternative ordering of the steps, performing one or more steps in parallel, and/or performing additional or fewer steps may be done in alternative embodiments of the invention.
Any resulting program(s), having computer-readable program code, may be embodied within one or more computer-usable media such as memory devices or transmitting devices, thereby making a computer program product or article of manufacture according to the invention. As such, the terms �article of manufacture� and �computer program product� as used herein are intended to encompass a computer program existent (permanently, temporarily, or transitorily) on any computer-usable medium such as on any memory device or in any transmitting device.
Executing program code directly from one medium, storing program code onto a medium, copying the code from one medium to another medium, transmitting the code using a transmitting device, or other equivalent acts may involve the use of a memory or transmitting device which only embodies program code transitorily as a preliminary or final step in making, using, or selling the invention.

The Good Man in Hell
If a good man were ever housed in Hell
By needful error of the qualities,
Perhaps to prove the rule or shame the devil,
Or speak the truth only a stranger sees,
Would he, surrendering quick to obvious hate,
Fill half eternity with cries and tears,
Or watch beside Hell's little wicket gate
In patience for the first ten thousand years,
Feeling the curse climb slowly to his throat
That, uttered, dooms him to rescindless ill,
Forcing his praying tongue to run by rote,
Eternity entire before him still?
Would he at last, grown faithful in his station,
Kindle a little hope in hopeless Hell,
And sow among the damned doubts of damnation,
Since here someone could live, and live well?
One doubt of evil would bring down such a grace,
Open such a gate, and Eden could enter in,
Hell be a place like any other place,
And love and hate and life and death begin.

to think of half of eternity is no doubt to think of eternity still. and there is a temp to bring hope to the hopeless but this is nothing and in it still there is hope. i disagree with the message (if i understand the message) but the idea of bringing peace to those who may have none as an everlasting effort is well worth fighting for living and dying for (Report) Reply

Potential Obama VP Is Pro-War, Pro-Patriot Act Neo-Con
Posted By admin On August 20, 2008 @ 7:23 am In Featured Stories | Comments Disabled
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet [1]
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
The man who many are tipping to become Barack Obama's running mate is a pro-war, pro-patriot act, Bilderberg member who was an honorary co-chair of the neocon Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, a group that aggressively propagandized for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Ladies and gentlemen – meet Senator Evan Bayh.
"Top Democratic Party officials are expecting Sen. Barack Obama to select Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh as his running mate as early as midweek," according to US News and World Report. [2]
So exactly where do the sympathies of the Indiana Senator lie and do they jive with Barack Obama's proclaimed platitude to be offering "change" in the upcoming presidential election?
According to Wikipedia [3], "On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and Congressional leaders in a Rose Garden ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War, and was thanked by Bush and Senator John McCain for co-sponsoring the resolution."
Not only that, but Bayh served as an honorary co-chair of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq along with John McCain, Obama's Republican adversary.
As Talking Points Memo [4]notes, "The Committee is a neo-con group that was formed to propagandize the country into war. It boasted such illustrious neocon members as Bill Kristol, former CIA director James Woolsey, and even McCain senior foreign policy adviser and Chalabi-bamboozler Randy Scheunemann."
In a February 2006 interview with the Washington Post [5], Bayh "refused, as some of his fellow Senators already had, to renounce his support for the war".
Bayh also voted for the re-authorization of the USA Patriot Act in 2006.
The Senator is also a keen supporter of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC, having previously described his "lifelong affection for the state of Israel" at an AIPAC luncheon.
Bayh has warned that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon, despite the National Intelligence Estimate [6] having refuted this claim, and the Senator has also introduced sanctions against Iran, repeatedly denouncing the country with heated rhetoric on national television.
Bayh is also a Bilderberg Group kingpin, having not only attended its meeting but also giving a keynote speech at their 1999 confab [7] in Sintra, Portugal.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Bayh is nothing more than another pro-war, pro destruction of the constitution, elitist neocon scumbag. What makes him more dangerous is that he is – just like Obama himself – a wolf in sheep's clothing, camouflaging himself amidst the mindless rhetoric of "change" while in reality representing nothing more than the status quo.
