40 years of metaphors we live by: Remarks on lakoff and johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphors
In his essay Cognitive Linguistics and Autonomous Linguistics, published in the 2007 Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics, John R. Taylor suggests dialogue and even integration between cognitive linguistics and other approaches in language studies. Following Taylor’s line of argument this article reviews George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphor. This study intends to address both authors’ empirical and rhetorical excesses since publishing Metaphors we live by forty years ago as an outcome of their rejection of Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar. Thus, it is expected to further converge generativism and cognitivism, as already initiated by researchers such as Taylor, Ray Jackendoff, Peter Culicover, Alan Prince, and Paul Smolensky.

4D ASR: Joint modeling of CTC, Attention, Transducer, and Mask-Predict decoders
The network architecture of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) can be classified into several models, including connectionist temporal classification (CTC), recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T), attention mechanism, and non-autoregressive mask-predict models. Since each of these network architectures has pros and cons, a typical use case is to switch these separate models depending on the application requirement, resulting in the increased overhead of maintaining all models. Several methods for integrating two of these complementary models to mitigate the overhead issue have been proposed; however, if we integrate more models, we will further benefit from these complementary models and realize broader applications with a single system. This paper proposes four-decoder joint modeling (4D) of CTC, attention, RNN-T, and mask-predict, which has the following three advantages: 1) The four decoders are jointly trained so that they can be easily switched depending on the application scenarios. 2) Joint training may bring model regularization and improve the model robustness thanks to their complementary properties. 3) Novel one-pass joint decoding methods using CTC, attention, and RNN-T further improves the performance. The experimental results showed that the proposed model consistently reduced the WER.

4W1H keyword extraction based summarization model
In this internet era, with rapidly growing online information, there is a need for automatic summarization of textual documents from plethora of available information, making it an interesting area of research. Automatic keyword extraction and text summarization are Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks for extracting relevant information from the large text documents. 4W1H (Who, When, Where, What, How) keywords are crucial for sentence generation. Despite the potential of 4W1H keywords, there have not been approaches that utilize the keywords in NLP tasks, particularly summarization. In this paper, we propose a new summarization method based on 4W1H keywords extraction which extracts the answer to a question corresponding to each event in QA format. We apply our methods to BERT and ELECTRA models to generate a summary, which are well-known pre-trained Language Models (LMs) in NLP domain, as a baseline. In experiments, our 4W1H keyword extraction method shows promising performance on AI Hub∗∗https://www.aihub.or.kr/aidata/86 Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) dataset, recording an extraction performance of an F1-score as 84.93%. Moreover, we show the results of generating a rule-based summarization using keywords extracted with 4W1H.

50 years of syntactic research in Hungary
This is an overview of research in syntax since the mid-1960's, when a group of middle-aged professors introduced modern syntax in the curriculum and started to raise and support a number of young linguists in this country. Since then various avenues have opened up both in the variety of topics addressed and in international communication. Syntacticians from Hungary have been a constant feature in the linguistic scene at large. This paper, which was originally delivered as a keynote address at the 2020 meeting of the Society of Hungarian Linguistics, aims at tracking this development.

5G Performance Testing of Mobile Chatbot Applications
A Chatbot is an application that is designed to provide automated contextual communication. Today most chatbots are implemented on top of or as a gateway to popular messaging services, such as Facebook Messenger, Skype and Viber. Chatbots can be classified into many categories regarding their usage, such as conversational commerce, customer support, education, marketing and others. Due to their agile deployment ability on top of virtualized and serverless environments,chatbots are expected to play a pivotal role in the forthcoming 5G networks, which support virtualization capabilities at the edge of the network, making feasible the provision of diversified chatbot services customized to each user needs and requests. However, chatbot QoS might be affected under congested network conditions or in areas with poor signal reception quality. Currently, the performance of the chatbot has not been researched, while the users are experiencing only the results of the potential QoS degradation, such as loss or re-ordering of messages. This paper provides an experimental study of the chatbot apps performance/QoS under different network and reception conditions. The experiment was conducted using the 5G mobile network emulation testbed created and provided by the EU-funded TRIANGLE project.

5G Service and Discourses on Hyper-connected Society in South Korea: Text Mining of Online News
This study explored social discourses on hyper-connected society by using text mining of online news articles in South Korea. Online news data was collected from a database of news articles provided by the Korea Press Promotion Foundation using the R3.5.3 program, and the data cleaning and tokenization was conducted. Then, a Topic Modeling (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) and Network Analysis (N-gram Language Model) was conducted. The number of topics was set to the best 10 topics based on the results of several LDA results. Many words related to 5G next-generation communications and innovative technologies are mentioned in several topics. In addition, the results showed that various social discourses, such as education, human life, societal changes, governmental support, and industry, are currently being discussed as major topics of a hyper-connected society. The results showed that hyper-connected society not only signifies the emergence and application of innovative communication technology, but also includes extensive changes to human life, social relations, education, and industry.

6IR: A configurable index for twig queries
This paper contains a presentation of our work in progress in the domain of information retrieval in base of semi-structured documents. We try to build a querying engine - called 6IR for Structure based IndeX Information Retrieval - which provides a list of documents similar in content and structure of a twig query. The extraction of documents is based on the identification of structure pattern. We detail the indexing process that consists of extracting all the patterns of the documents of the base useable for the process of interrogation. We show how to control the combinatorial explosion in the size of the index by setting the size of the patterns and the properties that followed on the documents obtained during the interrogation.

6VecLM: Language Modeling in Vector Space for IPv6 Target Generation
Fast IPv6 scanning is challenging in the field of network measurement as it requires exploring the whole IPv6 address space but limited by current computational power. Researchers propose to obtain possible active target candidate sets to probe by algorithmically analyzing the active seed sets. However, IPv6 addresses lack semantic information and contain numerous addressing schemes, leading to the difficulty of designing effective algorithms. In this paper, we introduce our approach 6VecLM to explore achieving such target generation algorithms. The architecture can map addresses into a vector space to interpret semantic relationships and uses a Transformer network to build IPv6 language models for predicting address sequence. Experiments indicate that our approach can perform semantic classification on address space. By adding a new generation approach, our model possesses a controllable word innovation capability compared to conventional language models. The work outperformed the state-of-the-art target generation algorithms on two active address datasets by reaching more quality candidate sets.

7. North America
J. E. JEFFRESS gives a succinct report of a survey on training facilities in trans cultural psychiatry presently offered in psychiatric residency programs in the United States. A. E. HIPPLER interprets the apparent swing from a “passive weak” to an “active dangerous” stereotype and posture of many young American Negroes. It would appear that the stable elements of these stereo typed responses are being preserved even while they seem to change on the surface. E. M. PATTISON, N. A. LAPINS, and H. A. DOERR report the construc tion of a personality and social profile of faith-healed members of various sects known to practice faith healing in the Seattle area. Many common psychological characteristics which they found are interpreted as the ego defense mechanisms of denial, externalization, and projection, whereas shared beliefs would serve as ego-integrative and sociointegrative systems adapted to particular subcultures. E. M. PATTISON and R. L. CASEY discuss some psycho logical interpretations of glossolalia derived from their studies of the psycho linguistic aspects of this phenomenon. The following papers are devoted to Canadian and American aboriginal groups. For the first time in Canada a mental health team headed by a psychiatrist visited ten Indian reserves in Saskatchewan for the purpose of finding active psychiatric cases. C. ROY reports on the data, which was compared with that obtained from the adjoining non-Indian communities. Statistical analysis revealed that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the Indian communities was significantly higher. Similar conclusions, although only partially supported by the material presen ted, are drawn by C. P. HELLON from psychiatric case histories of Indians, Metis, and Eskimos admitted to the Alberta Hospital, Oliver, as compared to a nonaboriginal control group. According to the author, personality disorders are more frequent in aborigines, and such factors as violence, promiscuity, and criminality correlate with crude measures of acculturation. In two papers on the psychological implications of culture change affecting Cree Indians in Quebec, R. M. WINTROB and P. S. SINDELL describe the discontinuities in enculturation which result from Cree children being sent to distant towns to attend school. The authors focus on the nature of identity conflict among adolescent students, their efforts to resolve it, and the psychopathology charac teristic of failure to resolve it. After a description of how she gradually succeeded in establishing positive therapeutic relations with Indian patients of the upper Fraser Valley, British Columbia, L. JILEK-AALL argues that private psycho therapy for native Indian patients can be given effectively only by a therapist who has a good knowledge of and a deep interest in specific problems of the aboriginal population. This section ends with a brief historical reminder by R. C. DAILEY of the Jesuit missionaries' perceptions of the Indians' drinking behavior. The author thinks that such a behavior was an extension of pre contact cultural patterns. © 1970, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.

80,000,000 HOOLIGANS: Discourse of resistance to racism and xenophobia in German punk lyrics 1991–1994
The late eighties and early nineties in Germany were not only marked by the fall of the Wall and German unification, but also by the dramatisation of the political issue of asylum, resulting in outbreaks of xenophobic violence. In the context of the asylum debate of the early nineties, a number of punk bands produced songs between 1991 and 1994 which criticise the xenophobic climate created by the asylum debate and undermine an exculpatory official discourse about the violent attacks. The lyrics of these songs will be analysed as instances of counter-discourse emerging from a subcultural sphere that nurtures a critical distance from hegemonic public and political discourse, arguing that Critical Discourse Analysis should pay more attention to defiance of hegemonic discourse.

800 languages and counting: Lessons from survey research across a linguistically diverse continent
Using data on more than 800 home languages identified during Afrobarometer Round 5 surveys in 35 countries, as well as information on multilingualism gathered in 20 countries in Round 4, this chapter explores linguistic diversity and multilingualism at the individual level, within communities, and across countries. Afrobarometer data offer a unique perspective on the distribution of languages and language capabilities from the viewpoint of the users of language rather than those who study it. The chapter also identifies some of the challenges encountered in collecting public opinion data in linguistically diverse environments. The findings reveal that even in many rural zones many Africans are living within ethnically and linguistically diverse communities, and preliminary analysis suggests this may have important implications for social and political attitudes. The data have untapped potential for understanding language evolution and for studying language both as a product and as a variable driving attitudes and outcomes.

82 Treebanks, 34 Models: Universal Dependency Parsing with Multi-Treebank Models
We present the Uppsala system for the CoNLL 2018 Shared Task on universal dependency parsing. Our system is a pipeline consisting of three components: the first performs joint word and sentence segmentation; the second predicts part-of-speech tags and morphological features; the third predicts dependency trees from words and tags. Instead of training a single parsing model for each treebank, we trained models with multiple treebanks for one language or closely related languages, greatly reducing the number of models. On the official test run, we ranked 7th of 27 teams for the LAS and MLAS metrics. Our system obtained the best scores overall for word segmentation, universal POS tagging, and morphological features.

9/11, image control, and the graphic narrative: Spiegelman, Rehr, Torres
This essay examines three graphic narratives - Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers, Rehr's Tribeca Sunset, and Torres's American Widow - as individual responses to the events of September 11, and, more importantly, to the dominant reconstructions that emerged in the ensuing months. The depersonalization of the event - inevitable in the (re)presentation of a limited set of images - is countered by those presented in the graphic narrative. These authors re-appropriate sometimes iconic images to speak of their own experiences of 9/11 and its aftermath. In the interplay of images and text (and the blank spaces between) meanings multiply. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

:telephone::person::sailboat::whale::okhand:; or "Call me Ishmael" - How do you translate emoji?
We report on an exploratory analysis of Emoji Dick, a project that leverages crowdsourcing to translate Melville's Moby Dick into emoji. This distinctive use of emoji removes textual context, and leads to a varying translation quality. In this paper, we use statistical word alignment and part-of-speech tagging to explore how people use emoji. Despite these simple methods, we observed differences in token and part-of-speech distributions. Experiments also suggest that semantics are preserved in the translation, and repetition is more common in emoji.

?q(n) 'Wood' in the aramaic ostraca from idumea: A note on the reflex of proto-semitic /*s̊ / in imperial Aramaic
A new spelling of the Aramaic lexeme 'wood' has been revealed. The note deals with the paleographic, orthographic, phonetic and phonemic implications of this spelling. It is claimed that in Idumean Aramaic of the fourth century BCE the reflex of the Proto-Semitic lateral fricative emphatic was realized as pharyngeal approximant ayin, what brought to the dissimilation of the first of two pharyngeals in this lexeme. © 2006 BRILL.

@Note: A workbench for Biomedical Text Mining
Biomedical Text Mining (BioTM) is providing valuable approaches to the automated curation of scientific literature. However, most efforts have addressed the benchmarking of new algorithms rather than user operational needs. Bridging the gap between BioTM researchers and biologists' needs is crucial to solve real-world problems and promote further research. We present @Note, a platform for BioTM that aims at the effective translation of the advances between three distinct classes of users: biologists, text miners and software developers. Its main functional contributions are the ability to process abstracts and full-texts; an information retrieval module enabling PubMed search and journal crawling; a pre-processing module with PDF-to-text conversion, tokenisation and stopword removal; a semantic annotation schema; a lexicon-based annotator; a user-friendly annotation view that allows to correct annotations and a Text Mining Module supporting dataset preparation and algorithm evaluation. @Note improves the interoperability, modularity and flexibility when integrating in-home and open-source third-party components. Its component-based architecture allows the rapid development of new applications, emphasizing the principles of transparency and simplicity of use. Although it is still on-going, it has already allowed the development of applications that are currently being used. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A "Babelish" world (Genesis 11:1-9) and its challenge to cultural-linguistic theory
After decades of optimism, interreligious dialogue is now confronted with a considerable amount of skepticism. In theology, this skepticism is primarily being fed by the cultural-linguistic theory of religion. This theory seems to be in keeping with what the Babel narrative has always said: people belonging to different "language" communities can do no more than babble at one another. The author asks, first of all, whether the story of Babel indeed affirms the cultural- linguistic argument for the end of interreligious dialogue. After showing that there are theological and exegetical reasons to doubt the classical interpretation of the Babel narrative, the author demonstrates how a renewed hermeneutic of this story actually challenges the cultural-linguistic discourse concerning the incommensurability of religions. Indeed, she argues, ultimately, the Babel story is not a narrative about the end of communication, but about its beginning.

A "natural" approach to text complexity
Recent studies on linguistic complexity (Miestamo 2006, 2009, Miestamo et al. 2008) offer me the opportunity for comparing and re-discussing some major theoretical concepts that were at the basis of my model on textual complexity (2002, 2003, 2004) and which are also fundamental assumptions in those studies. Comparability is limited by the different objects of analysis, text in my research vs. cross-linguistic grammars there, but it is justified by a strong similarity in the very conceptualisation of complexity and in the criteria for defining it. The aim of this paper is to re-propose and further elaborate on my theoretical approach and confirm its validity. Text complexity is viewed as an instance of system complexity and text as a complex system. The analysis of text complexity under this light presupposes conceiving of the text as a dynamic configuration of components that, in the course of the text progression, variously interplay and with varied effects. The theory of complex systems offers good instruments for modelling this type of interplay and for explaining the changes and readjustments that follow. A theory of naturalness/ markedness can help motivate and predict the emergence, type and scope of textual complexity. © School of English, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.

A "white elephant" on Natal’s dunes? A post-developmentalist analysis of the discourses surrounding the construction of the Arena das Dunas
One of the big controversies surrounding the holding of the World Cup soccer finals in Brazil involved the construction of new stadiums, especially those considered as potential "white elephants", such as the Arena das Dunas in Natal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the arguments that constituted the different discourses relating to the construction of the Arena das Dunas. To this end, we looked at three different discursive positions on this subject: those of the organizers of the event, those of the media and those of civil society. The data was obtained through interviews, direct observation and documents. The method adopted was Foucauldian archeology and its discourse analysis. In opting for a theoretical perspective, we adopted post-development theory. Our findings pointed to two opposing discursive formations: one favorable and the other contrary to the investment made in the construction of the stadium.

A &lt;word, part of speech&gt; embedding model for text classification
Existing word embeddings learning algorithms only employ the contexts of words, but different text documents use words and their relevant parts of speech very differently. Based on the preceding assumption, in order to obtain appropriate word embeddings and further improve the effect of text classification, this paper studies in depth a representation of words combined with their parts of speech. First, using the parts of speech and context of words, a more expressive word embeddings can be obtained. Further, to improve the efficiency of look-up tables, we construct a two-dimensional table that is in the <word, part of speech> format to represent words in text documents. Finally, the two-dimensional table and a Bayesian theorem are used for text classification. Experimental results show that our model has achieved more desirable results on standard data sets. And it has more preferable versatility and portability than alternative models.

A 'Gibbs-Newton' Technique for Enhanced Inference of Multivariate Polya Parameters and Topic Models
Hyper-parameters play a major role in the learning and inference process of latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). In order to begin the LDA latent variables learning process, these hyper-parameters values need to be pre-determined. We propose an extension for LDA that we call 'Latent Dirichlet allocation Gibbs Newton' (LDA-GN), which places non-informative priors over these hyper-parameters and uses Gibbs sampling to learn appropriate values for them. At the heart of LDA-GN is our proposed 'Gibbs-Newton' algorithm, which is a new technique for learning the parameters of multivariate Polya distributions. We report Gibbs-Newton performance results compared with two prominent existing approaches to the latter task: Minka's fixed-point iteration method and the Moments method. We then evaluate LDA-GN in two ways: (i) by comparing it with standard LDA in terms of the ability of the resulting topic models to generalize to unseen documents; (ii) by comparing it with standard LDA in its performance on a binary classification task.

A 'companion' ECA with planning and activity modelling
In this paper, we describe the development of an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) implementing the concept of a companion, i.e. an agent supporting the persistent representation of user activities and dialogue-based communication with the user. This first experiment implements a Health and Fitness companion aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle. The system operates by generating an 'ideal' plan of daily activities from background knowledge and dialogue interaction with the user. This plan then becomes an activity model, which will later be instantiated by reports from the user and analysed by the agent from the perspective of initial objectives. At various stages of the day, the plan can still be adapted through further dialogue. The agent is embodied using a wireless rabbit (Nabaztag™) device situated in the user's home. After describing the planning component, based on Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) and the spoken dialogue system, we present a working example from the system illustrating its behaviour through various phases of user activity generation, updating and re-planning.

A (Neo)Gricean account of irony: An answer to relevance theory
Wilson and Sperber purport to reveal several problems in Grice's approach to irony and propose the echoic account for explaining ironic communication. In this article, I claim that some of the criticisms Wilson and Sperber level at Grice's view are not well founded, whereas others can be addressed from a (neo)Gricean approach. I also note certain weaknesses in the echoic account. Finally, I propose the Asif-Theory, which is based on Critical Pragmatics and is Gricean in spirit, for explaining irony from a pragmatic perspective. This theory develops (and corrects) Grice's ideas on irony, but it also accommodates powerful aspects of the echoic account and articulates a full-fledged theory for explaining ironic communication.

A (Psycho-)Linguistically Motivated Scheme for Annotating and Exploring Emotions in a Genre-Diverse Corpus
This paper presents a scheme for emotion annotation and its manual application on a genre-diverse corpus of texts written in French. The methodology introduced here emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the main concepts implied by the analysis of emotions as they are expressed in texts, before conducting a manual annotation campaign. After explaining whatentails a deeply linguistic perspective on emotion expression modeling, we present a few NLP works that share some common points with this perspective and meticulously compare our approach with them. We then highlight some interesting quantitative results observed on our annotated corpus. The most notable interactions are on the one hand between emotion expression modes and genres of texts, and on the other hand between emotion expression modes and emotional categories. These observation corroborate and clarify some of the results already mentioned in other NLP works on emotion annotation.

A (Simplified) Supreme Being Necessarily Exists, says the Computer: Computationally Explored Variants of Gödel's Ontological Argument
An approach to universal (meta-)logical reasoning in classical higher-order logic is employed to explore and study simplifications of Kurt G\"odel's modal ontological argument. Some argument premises are modified, others are dropped, modal collapse is avoided and validity is shown already in weak modal logics K and T. Key to the gained simplifications of G\"odel's original theory is the exploitation of a link to the notions of filter and ultrafilter from topology. The paper illustrates how modern knowledge representation and reasoning technology for quantified non-classical logics can contribute new knowledge to other disciplines. The contributed material is also well suited to support teaching of non-trivial logic formalisms in classroom.

A 16-nm SoC for Noise-Robust Speech and NLP Edge AI Inference With Bayesian Sound Source Separation and Attention-Based DNNs
The proliferation of personal artificial intelligence (AI)-assistant technologies with speech-based conversational AI interfaces is driving the exponential growth in the consumer Internet of Things (IoT) market. As these technologies are being applied to keyword spotting (KWS), automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), and text-to-speech (TTS) applications, it is of paramount importance that they provide uncompromising performance for context learning in long sequences, which is a key benefit of the attention mechanism, and that they work seamlessly in polyphonic environments. In this work, we present a 25-mm2 system-on-chip (SoC) in 16-nm FinFET technology, codenamed SM6, which executes end-to-end speech-enhancing attention-based ASR and NLP workloads. The SoC includes: 1) FlexASR, a highly reconfigurable NLP inference processor optimized for whole-model acceleration of bidirectional attention-based sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) deep neural networks (DNNs); 2) a Markov random field source separation engine (MSSE), a probabilistic graphical model accelerator for unsupervised inference via Gibbs sampling, used for sound source separation; 3) a dual-core Arm Cortex A53 CPU cluster, which provides on-demand single Instruction/multiple data (SIMD) fast fourier transform (FFT) processing and performs various application logic (e.g., expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and 8-bit floating-point (FP8) quantization); and 4) an always-ON M0 subsystem for audio detection and power management. Measurement results demonstrate the efficiency ranges of 2.6-7.8 TFLOPs/W and 4.33-17.6 Gsamples/s/W for FlexASR and MSSE, respectively; MSSE denoising performance allowing 6 × smaller ASR model to be stored on-chip with negligible accuracy loss; and 2.24-mJ energy consumption while achieving real-time throughput, end-to-end, and per-frame ASR latencies of 18 ms.

A 18th century French-Turkish dictionary in Latin alphabet
After the treaty between the state of Ottoman and France which is known as capitulations in history, France seek the opportunity of trading in rich Ottoman lands and for this purpose they came and went to provinces of Ottoman. The best way of making trade with a foreign state is knowing its language. So French planned to maintain its relationships with Ottoman State by using orientalists who were educated and knew the languages of native people very well. Therefore they opened the school named as Language Boys in Istanbul with the desician given by the Parliament of France in 18 November 1669 in order to educate translators called language boys. In my paper it'll be considered about the specialites and importances of the dictionary called François-Turc with the respects of Turkish language, consequently Turkish culture history in which there are Latin printed Turkish words that were used in 18th century Turkish between the pages (355-456) of the grammer book named as Elemens de la Langue Turque "The Elements of Turkish Language" that was written by a French called P.F. Viguier for the purpose of helping French who were trading with Ottomans and living in the Ottoman lands and giving a basic material for the students in the translation school that is called Language Boys.

A 2-Tier Bengali Dataset for Evaluation of Hard and Soft Classification Approaches
Document classification is an open problem in library, information, and computer sciences towards assigning documents to one or more classes. The interest of linguistic researchers in this domain has increased day by day due to interesting applications like language identification, readability assessment, sentiment analysis, spam filtering, etc. However, researchers focussing on natural language processing of resource-scaring languages have faced many hurdles due to the absence of benchmark datasets. Bengali is among the most-spoken resource-scaring or low-resource language. Although Bengali NLP researchers have endeavoured towards creating their own datasets, they are only useful for performance evaluation of their proposed document classification techniques only. Therefore, there is a gap in the literature on the availability of benchmark datasets. To overcome this barrier, this paper presents a benchmark dataset for Bengali document classification, which is publicly accessible and freely available. This dataset consists of a two-tier architecture, the first-tier for hard classification and the second-tier for soft classification techniques. Hard classification techniques follow supervised learning based models for the classification of documents, while on the other hand, soft classification techniques follow unsupervised learning based models for the clustering of documents. The proposed dataset consists of thirteen unique characteristics. This paper also introduces four new feature sets to evaluate the performance of the proposed dataset, namely: location revealing factor, part of speech tagging factor, relative frequency, and prominence factor.

A 2-phase frame-based knowledge extraction framework
We present an approach for extracting knowledge from natural language English texts where processing is decoupled in two phases. The first phase comprises several standard NLP tasks whose results are integrated in a single RDF graph of mentions. The second phase processes the mention graph with SPARQL-like mapping rules to produce a knowledge graph organized around semantic frames (i.e., prototypical descriptions of events and situations). The decoupling allows: (i) choosing different tools for the NLP tasks without affecting the remaining computation; (ii) combining the outputs of different NLP tasks in non-trivial ways, leveraging their integrated and coherent representation in a mention graph; and (iii) relating each piece of extracted knowledge to the mention(s) it comes from, leveraging the single RDF representation. We evaluate precision and recall of our approach on a gold standard, showing its competitiveness w.r.t. the state of the art. We also evaluate execution times and (sampled) accuracy on a corpus of 110K Wikipedia pages, showing the applicability of the approach on large corpora.

A 2-poisson model for probabilistic coreference of named entities for improved text retrieval
Text retrieval queries frequently contain named entities. The standard approach of term frequency weighting does not work well when estimating the term frequency of a named entity, since anaphoric expressions (like he, she, the movie, etc) are frequently used to refer to named entities in a document, and the use of anaphoric expressions causes the term frequency of named entities to be underestimated. In this paper, we propose a novel 2-Poisson model to estimate the frequency of anaphoric expressions of a named entity, without explicitly resolving the anaphoric expressions. Our key assumption is that the frequency of anaphoric expressions is distributed over named entities in a document according to the probabilities of whether the document is elite for the named entities. This assumption leads us to formulate our proposed Co-referentially Enhanced Entity Frequency (CEEF). Experimental results on the text collection of TREC Blog Track show that CEEF achieves significant and consistent improvements over state-of-the-art retrieval methods using standard term frequency estimation. In particular, we achieve a 3% increase of MAP over the best performing run of TREC 2008 Blog Track. Copyright 2009 ACM.

A 2020 perspective on “Mine is yours? Using sentiment analysis to explore the degree of risk in sharing economy”
Sentiment analysis has been widely applied to different contexts. In practice, companies use sentiment analysis to understand the voices of consumers. The extracted keywords can be converted to concepts from messy data and transformed into valuable information. By shifting the focus from the consumer to the provider, the relationship between roles has become different in the sharing economy. Sentiment analysis can further assist companies to enhance their value co-creation capabilities, create innovative new services, and restore the functionality and effectiveness of their failed services.

A 3-steps algorithm for morphological disambiguation using untagged corpora
This article presents a three steps algorithm for morphological disambiguation between the definite article and the personal pronoun in French language. Tested accuracy in a large untagged corpora exceeds 98% with less than 1% of error. Our method has been also experimented on unlabeled Greek corpora and the results prove the system's portability to other languages with similar structure. Not any prior knowledge is available. The rule-based procedure is robust and self-correcting. If can also be used as a shallow parser for verbal and nominal groups identification. The last step of the algorithm consists on the creation of a dictionary with classification of the entries in two grammatical categories; nominal and verbal.

A 3-year evolution of linguistic disorders in aphasia after stroke
Aphasia recovery after stroke has been the subject of several studies, but in none the deficits on the various linguistic levels were examined, even though in the diagnosis and treatment of aphasia the emphasis lays more and more on these linguistic level disorders. In this observational prospective follow-up study, we explored whether it is meaningful to investigate the recovery of semantics, phonology, and syntax separately. Fifteen patients with aphasia poststroke were assessed at 3 and 10 days, 7 weeks, 4 and 7 months, and 3 years postonset with the ScreeLing, a linguistic level test, the Aphasia Severity Rating Scale (spontaneous speech) and the Token Test. Group results showed improvement for the overall ScreeLing (P<0.01) and its subparts semantics (P<0.01) and syntax (P<0.01) up to 7 weeks, just as the Token Test (P<0.01). Phonology improved up to 4 months (P<0.05) and spontaneous speech up to 7 months (P<0.05). The recovery pattern of the three linguistic levels did not follow a parallel course, with a great deal of variability in linguistic recovery curves between and within patients. These results suggest that it is meaningful to assess the recovery of the linguistic levels separately, starting from the acute stage poststroke. © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

A 360-Degree View of a Hospital by Analysing Patient’s Online Reviews Using Fuzzy Sentiment Analysis
Millions of people use Internet for developing new skills, booking online tickets, socialising, etc. Out of the sundry activities, giving online reviews by customers has become very customary these days and the fastest medium to make one’s voice heard. With the advent of analytics, more specifically, text mining, the online reviews of the customers have made a huge difference in shaping the future strategies of the companies and have also helped them to study the customer responses of their rivals. In an effort to help hospitals analyse the patient’s reviews present online on various social media platforms, this paper analyses the 659 reviews of people across the nation, on one of the best medical college and hospital of India, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. An attempt is made in this article to develop fuzzy sentiment analysis model with integration of naïve base classifier, which helps to analyse reviews of different hospitals and can come up with their own social media competitive analysis strategy. The results reveal the value text mining can bring to the table for any hospital and the immense business value that it holds.

A 3D communication platform based on text-to-visual speech sythesis
A 3D real-time communication platform based on text-to-visual speech (TTVS) synthesis is proposed. Partners of a communication pair exchange messages with words. At each end interface, TTVS technology is adopted to synthesize received textual messages into speeches. Simultaneously, a 3D avatar expresses embedded human emotions and intentions with body languages and facial expressions. Structure of such a communication platform is introduced. Expression models of human emotions and intentions are proposed. Autonomous interaction models of avatar whose master falls into operation silence are proposed. Driven by program, avatar's movement is obtained by controlling joint angles along its freedom and their varying rates based on proposed methods. A prototype of 3D communication platform with function of TTVS is developed under VB6.0 and OpenGL. ©2009 IEEE.

A 3D conversational agent for presenting digital information for deaf people
Sign languages appear to be the major communication tool for the deaf community. As a minor community, Vietnamese deaf people often have to rely on a small numbers of interpreters who are hearing people knowing sign language in order to communicate with hearing people. It would be very beneficial for deaf as well as hearing people to develop an automated translation system between spoken/written languages and sign language. In this paper, we present our attempt to graphically decompose the gestures in Vietnamese Sign Language so that they can be easily synthesized in a 3D conversational agent. In order to describe the signs in Vietnamese Sign Language, we proposed an animation-level markup language. Based on this, we presented our 3D conversational agent for presenting multi-modal information for deaf people. The 3D agent can assist deaf people easier and in a more natural way. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.

A 3D face animation system for mobile devices
In this paper, we present a 3D face animation system rendered on mobile devices. The system automatically creates realistic facial animation from text input with emotion tags. First, an input string is converted into synthetic voice and phonetic information. Then, 3D head model performs facial movements synchronized to the speech. The proposed system offers an affordable quick solution for applications that require virtual actors speaking text in which human-machine interfaces on mobile devices can profit. © 2014 IOS Press and the authors.

A 3D multi-scale interface for the visualization and navigation of large XML documents
The visualization of large documents such as technical reports or professional manuals is an important issue. For this purpose, we have developed 3D-XV, an interface for visualizing large structured documents through a hierarchical 3D-model. In addition to textual and structural information, the model associates thematic content with colors. In the query mode, passage relevance is described through local histograms. The core textual content can be accessed through textured block faces or through a Web browser. Future work on paragraph signalling and variations of the geometrical model are proposed. 3D-XV is compared to previous approaches to passage retrieval and visualization of thematic links.
