This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on TEX, XML, and Digital Typography, held jointly with the 25th Annual Meeting of the TEX User Group, TUG 2004 in Xanthi, Greece in August/September 2004. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers reflect the state of the art of digital typography using TEX or its offsprings. Besides typesetting issues, the papers deal with topics like multilingual document preparation, XML document processing and generation, complex bibliographic databases, and automatic conversion.
The finite-state paradigm of computer science has provided a basis for natural-language applications that are efficient, elegant, and robust. This volume is a practical guide to finite-state theory and the affiliated programming languages lexc and xfst. Readers will learn how to write tokenizers, spelling checkers, and especially morphological analyzer/generators for words in English, French, Finnish, Hungarian, and other languages. Included are graded introductions, examples, and exercises suitable for individual study as well as formal courses. These take advantage of widely-tested lexc and xfst applications that are just becoming available for noncommercial use via the Internet.
The papers in this volume deal with various topics in Arabic Linguistics. Most of the papers focus on new issues and introduce new empirical generalizations that haven't been studied before within the context of Arabic linguistics. The syntax and morphosyntax papers explore issues ranging from the nature of extraction strategies to various types of Construct State representations and the proper analysis of the distribution of the nominal, adjectival and verbal mophological features. The computational linguistics papers focus on the challenge posed by the non-concatenative nature of Arabic morphology. The authors illustrate how their programs can handle Arabic morphology. The papers in morpho-phonology and historical linguistics deal with the development of the Arabic complementizer system and the empirical and theoretical problems that arise in the context of hypocoristic formation in Arabic. The sociolinguistics papers take up the issues of sociolinguistic variation as they pertain to the phenomenon of diglossia and regional uses of the Standard variety of Arabic.
The 7th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Au- mata (CIAA 2002) was held at the Universit ́ e Fran ̧ cois Rabelais of Tours, in Tours, France, on July 3–5, 2002. This volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science contains all the papers that were presented at CIAA 2002, as well as the abstracts of the poster papers that were displayed during the conference. The conference addressed issues in automata application and implemen- tion.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2006, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in August 2006. The 22 revised full papers and 7 revised poster papers presented together with the extended abstracts of 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. The papers cover various topics in the theory, implementation, and applications of automata and related structures.
This volume contains the latest in the series of ICAPR proceedings on the state-of-the-art of different facets of pattern recognition. These conferences have already carved out a unique position among events attended by the pattern recognition community. The contributions tackle open problems in the classic fields of image and video processing, document analysis and multimedia object retrieval as well as more advanced topics in biometrics speech and signal analysis. Many of the papers focus both on theory and application driven basic research pattern recognition.
A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic understanding of natural language processing and/or machine learning, we seek to bridge the gap between the two fields. Approaches to decoding (i.e., carrying out linguistic structure prediction) and supervised and unsupervised learning of models that predict discrete structures as outputs are the focus. We also survey natural language processing problems to which these methods are being applied, and we address related topics in probabilistic inference, optimization, and experimental methodology.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata, CIAA 2001, held in Pretoria, South Africa in July 2001.The 23 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The topics addressed from theoretical as well as application-oriented viewpoints range from foundational and methodological issues to novel applications in object-oriented modeling, finite transducers in natural language processing, and non-deterministic finite-state models in communication protocols.nbsp;
This book provides system developers and researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics with the necessary background information for working with the Arabic language. The goal is to introduce Arabic linguistic phenomena and review the state-of-the-art in Arabic processing. The book discusses Arabic script, phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and semantics, with a final chapter on machine translation issues. The chapter sizes correspond more or less to what is linguistically distinctive about Arabic, with morphology getting the lion's share, followed by Arabic script. No previous knowledge of Arabic is needed. This book is designed for computer scientists and linguists alike. The focus of the book is on Modern Standard Arabic; however, notes on practical issues related to Arabic dialects and languages written in the Arabic script are presented in different chapters. Table of Contents: What is "Arabic"? / Arabic Script / Arabic Phonology and Orthography / Arabic Morphology / Computational Morphology Tasks / Arabic Syntax / A Note on Arabic Semantics / A Note on Arabic and Machine Translation
