Vācu filoloģija: Tekstu analīzes paraugi
1992
Krājuma mērķis ir parādīt, ka jebkurš teksts var būt interesants kā teksta analīzes objekts. Katra atsevišķā pētītā valodas paradība gala rezultātā tomēr kalpo teksta viengabalainības realizēšanai.
Simplifying instructional texts in French and German Easy Language – Comparaison of Easy Language rules and analysis of their limits
2022
Contexte: Dans le contexte du développement d’une société plus inclusive, l’étude de la simplification du langage constitue un réel enjeu, aussi en termes scientifiques. Cette simplification a en effet pour ambition de profiter à différents types de publics, allant de l’éducation des élèves à l’accès à l’information pour des personnes présentant un handicap, des personnes vieillissantes, mais également pour des personnes allophones arrivant dans un pays donné. A l’échelle européenne, l'association Inclusion Europe, à travers son projet Easy-to-Read, a ainsi établi une liste de principes visant à standardiser la rédaction dans des variantes adaptées des langues nationales. Question de recher…
On the impact of forgetting on learning machines
1995
People tend not to have perfect memories when it comes to learning, or to anything else for that matter. Most formal studies of learning, however, assume a perfect memory. Some approaches have restricted the number of items that could be retained. We introduce a complexity theoretic accounting of memory utilization by learning machines. In our new model, memory is measured in bits as a function of the size of the input. There is a hierarchy of learnability based on increasing memory allotment. The lower bound results are proved using an unusual combination of pumping and mutual recursion theorem arguments. For technical reasons, it was necessary to consider two types of memory : long and sh…
Efficient evaluation for a subset of recursive queries
1991
Abstract We consider the efficient evaluation of recursive queries in logic databases where the queries are expressed using a Datalog program (function-free Horn-clause program) that contains only regularly or linearly recursive predicates. Using well-known results on graph traversal, we develop an efficient algorithm for evaluating relations defined by a binary-chain program. We also present a transformation by which the evaluation of a subset of queries involving nonbinary relations can be reduced to the evaluation of binary-chain queries. This transformation is guided by the choice of bound arguments in the query, and the bindings are propagated through the program so that in the evaluat…
Algorithmic Analysis of Programs with Well Quasi-ordered Domains
2000
AbstractOver the past few years increasing research effort has been directed towards the automatic verification of infinite-state systems. This paper is concerned with identifying general mathematical structures which can serve as sufficient conditions for achieving decidability. We present decidability results for a class of systems (called well-structured systems) which consist of a finite control part operating on an infinite data domain. The results assume that the data domain is equipped with a preorder which is a well quasi-ordering, such that the transition relation is “monotonic” (a simulation) with respect to the preorder. We show that the following properties are decidable for wel…
A Problem Structuring Method
1991
Given a formal definition of problem and a formal definition of system, the equivalence between both concepts is studied. Considering a problem as a 3-tuple , where D is the set of possible data, R is the set of possible results, and P the set of conditions of the problem, classes of problems are constructed as combinations of types of data, types of results and types of conditions. For example, data can be either literal or numerical, either with uncertainty or not; conditions can be determined by rules, tables, equations, it may have uncertainty, etc. As a case of application it is outlined how some of the most common problems (knowledge representation, search, reasoning and planning, etc…
Gradation of Fuzzy Preconcept Lattices
2021
Noticing certain limitations of concept lattices in the fuzzy context, especially in view of their practical applications, in this paper, we propose a more general approach based on what we call graded fuzzy preconcept lattices. We believe that this approach is more adequate for dealing with fuzzy information then the one based on fuzzy concept lattices. We consider two possible gradation methods of fuzzy preconcept lattice—an inner one, called D-gradation and an outer one, called M-gradation, study their properties, and illustrate by a series of examples, in particular, of practical nature.
Researching Conditional Probability Problem Solving
2014
The chapter is organized into two parts. In the first one, the main protagonist is the conditional probability problem. We show a theoretical study about conditional probability problems, identifying a particular family of problems we call ternary problems of conditional probability. We define the notions of Level, Category and Type of a problem in order to classify them into sub-families and in order to study them better. We also offer a tool we call trinomial graph that functions as a generative model for this family of problems. We show the syntax of the model that allows researchers and teachers to translate a problem in terms of the trinomial graphs language, and the consequences of th…
Multi-Dimensional motivic pattern extraction founded on adaptive redundancy filtering
2005
Abstract We present a computational model for discovering repeated patterns in symbolic representations of monodic music. Patterns are discovered through an incremental adaptive identification along a multi-dimensional parametric space. The difficulties of pattern discovery mainly come from combinatorial redundancies, that our model is able to control efficiently. A specificity relation is defined between pattern descriptions, unifying suffix and inclusion relations and enabling a filtering of redundant descriptions. Combinatorial proliferation caused by successive repetitions of patterns is managed using cyclic patterns. The modelling of these redundancy control mechanisms enables an autom…
Descriptional and Computational Complexity of the Circuit Representation of Finite Automata
2018
In this paper we continue to investigate the complexity of the circuit representation of DFA—BC-complexity. We compare it with nondeterministic state complexity, obtain upper and lower bounds which differ only by a factor of 4 for a Binary input alphabet. Also we prove that many simple operations (determining if a state is reachable or if an automaton is minimal) are PSPACE-complete for DFA given in circuit representation.
