Models of Modals
Modal verbs in English communicate delicate shades of meaning, there being a large range of verbs both on the necessity side (must, have to, should, ought to, need, need to) and the possibility side (can, may, could, might, be able to). They therefore constitute excellent test ground to apply and compare different methodologies that can lay bare the factors that drive the speaker’s choice of modal verb. This book is not merely concerned with a purely grammatical description of the use of modal verbs, but aims at advancing our understanding of lexical and grammatical units in general and of linguistic methodologies to explore these. It thus involves a genuine effort to compare, assess and c...

Models of Modals
The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.
Cross-Lingual Word Embeddings
The majority of natural language processing (NLP) is English language processing, and while there is good language technology support for (standard varieties of) English, support for Albanian, Burmese, or Cebuano--and most other languages--remains limited. Being able to bridge this digital divide is important for scientific and democratic reasons but also represents an enormous growth potential. A key challenge for this to happen is learning to align basic meaning-bearing units of different languages. In this book, the authors survey and discuss recent and historical work on supervised and unsupervised learning of such alignments. Specifically, the book focuses on so-called cross-lingual wor...
Finite-State Text Processing
Weighted finite-state transducers (WFSTs) are commonly used by engineers and computational linguists for processing and generating speech and text. This book first provides a detailed introduction to this formalism. It then introduces Pynini, a Python library for compiling finite-state grammars and for combining, optimizing, applying, and searching finite-state transducers. This book illustrates this library's conventions and use with a series of case studies. These include the compilation and application of context-dependent rewrite rules, the construction of morphological analyzers and generators, and text generation and processing applications.
De Ridder
Iedereen kan in aanraking komen met justitie. Maar recht en rechtvaardigheid zijn niet altijd synoniemen. Wat gebeurt er als het fout loopt? Aan een stakingspiket komt het tot een woordenwisseling tussen enkele vakbondsmilitanten en een jonge medewerker. Er wordt wat over en weer geroepen, en dan valt de jongen op een brandende pallet. Hij wordt met zware brandwonden afgevoerd naar het ziekenhuis. Was het een ongeval of werd hij geduwd? De stakers doen het voorval af als een ongeval, maar Helena De Ridder gelooft hen niet. Tot haar grote frustratie loopt het onderzoek moeizamer dan verwacht. Maar dan neemt de zaak een plotse wending.
AGILE VISUALIZATION
Crafting a visualization requires short and incremental developments, often costly both in time and effort. Agile Visualization promotes the use of the Pharo interactive development environment to significantly reduce the creation of a visualization. Pharo significantly leverages a visualization development against traditional visualization frameworks and toolkits. This book focuses on the Roassal visualization engine. Agile Visualization first presents the basic and necessary tools to visualize data. The development environment is subsequently described. The book then covers a domain-specific language framework to design and implement expressive and composable visualizations. Several applications are presented, covering epidemiological models, geographical information, network latency, and source code software analysis. Agile Visualization covers aspects that are relevant for practitioners, businesses, and academics to successfully design and implement a visualization.
