On Embedding Domain-specific Languages with User-friendly Syntax

I present a strategy to define domain-specific languages with a natural-language syntax in an object-oriented host language. I describe ScalaDBC, a database library with an embedded DSL to encode queries in SQL-like syntax and that uses this strategy. ...

Nonlinear modelling of double and triple period pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli, Fritz Menzer

This paper reports a study on short-time subharmonic pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration, which are found to be a common feature of the human voice in spoken language. The observed pitch breaks correspond to a change in periodicity of the electrolaryngogr ...

Natural Language Techniques for Model-driven Semantic Constraint Extraction

Martin Rajman, Marita Ailomaa

This report describes a model-driven approach to natural language understanding (NLU) in which the “meaning” of natural language queries is extracted based on a domain model composed of a set of concepts and relations specified in the system’s domain. The ...

OCL and Graph-Transformations – A Symbiotic Alliance to Alleviate the Frame Problem

Many popular methodologies are influenced by Design by Contract. They recommend to specify the intended behavior of operations in an early phase of the software development life cycle. In practice, software developers use most often natural language to des ...

Two approaches to Robust Stochastic Parsing

Marita Ailomaa

NLP applications in all domains require more than a formal grammar to process the input in a practical way, because natural language contains phenomena that a formal grammar is usually not able to describe. Such phenomena are typically disfluencies and ext ...

Modèles syntaxiques probabilistes non-génératifs

Antoine Rozenknop

This work deals with models used, or usable in the domain of Automatic Natural Language Processing, when one seeks a syntactic interpretation of a statement. This interpretation can be used as additional information for subsequent treatments, that can aim ...

Cognitive language engineering towards robust human-computer interaction

Vincenzo Pallotta

Intelligent information processing seems to be one of the most challenging task among those involved in human-computer interaction. A central issue is how to model the various types of interaction among artificial and natural entities at different levels o ...

Intégration de connaissances syntaxiques et sémantiques dans les représentations vectorielles de textes

Romaric Besançon

The notion of similarity between texts is fundamental for many applications of Natural Language Processing. For example, this notion is particularly useful for the applications designed for the management of information in large textual databases, such as ...

Fast latent semantic indexing of spoken documents by using self-organizing maps

This paper describes a new latent semantic indexing (LSI) method for spoken audio documents. The framework is indexing broadcast news from radio and TV as a combination of large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR), natural language processing ...
