Revisiting corpus creation and analysis tools for translation tasks

2016

Many translation scholars have proposed the use of corpora to allow professional translators to produce high quality texts which read like originals. Yet, the diffusion of this methodology has been modest, one reason being the fact that software for corpora analyses have been developed with the linguist in mind, which means that they are generally complex and cumbersome, offering many advanced features, but lacking the level of usability and the specific features that meet translators’ needs. To overcome this shortcoming, we have developed TranslatorBank, a free corpus creation and analysis tool designed for translation tasks. TranslatorBank supports the creation of specialized monolingual …

Discovering the Senses of an Ambiguous Word by Clustering its Local Contexts

2005

As has been shown recently, it is possible to automatically discover the senses of an ambiguous word by statistically analyzing its contextual behavior in a large text corpus. However, this kind of research is still at an early stage. The results need to be improved and there is considerable disagreement on methodological issues. For example, although most researchers use clustering approaches for word sense induction, it is not clear what statistical features the clustering should be based on. Whereas so far most researchers cluster global co-occurrence vectors that reflect the overall behavior of a word in a corpus, in this paper we argue that it is more appropriate to use local context v…

Aspects Concerning SVM Method’s Scalability

2008

In the last years the quantity of text documents is increasing continually and automatic document classification is an important challenge. In the text document classification the training step is essential in obtaining a good classifier. The quality of learning depends on the dimension of the training data. When working with huge learning data sets, problems regarding the training time that increases exponentially are occurring. In this paper we are presenting a method that allows working with huge data sets into the training step without increasing exponentially the training time and without significantly decreasing the classification accuracy.

A Controllable Text Simplification System for the Italian Language

2021

Text simplification is a non-trivial task that aims at reducing the linguistic complexity of written texts. Researchers have studied the problem by proposing new methodologies for addressing the English language, but other languages, like the Italian one, are almost unexplored. In this paper, we give a contribution to the enhancement of the Automated Text Simplification research by presenting a deep learning-based system, inspired by a state of the art system for the English language, capable of simplifying Italian texts. The system has been trained and tested by leveraging the Italian version of Newsela; it has shown promising results by achieving a SARI value of 30.17.

FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI MENTALI SUPERIORI III

2010

Questo saggio riprende alcuni concetti di anatomia comparata e di fisiologia, sviluppati in una mia precedente ricerca dal titolo Termodinamica, campi quantici e funzioni mentali. Il fine è di chiarire alcuni punti controversi posti dall’analisi scientifica, in riguardo a teoremi di neuro anatomia e di neurofisiologia. Il filosofo Heiddegger H. riteneva che il pensiero umano non può affidarsi interamente all’indagine scientifica, traducendo in schemi ed in formule la vivente realtà della natura, sia fisica che biologica. La ricerca scientifica si basa su un sapere rigoroso e preciso, altamente dimostrativo che può competere con la matematica, ritenuta la scienza delle scienze. Nonostante ci…

FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI CEREBRALI SUPERIORI (II)

2010

Data una semplice perturbazione, il processo lineare tende a rimanere leggermente alterato. Data la stessa perturbazione, un processo non lineare tende a tornare al suo punto di partenza. Huygens C. (fisico olandese del XVI sec.) inventò l’orologio a pendolo e la disciplina classica della dinamica. S’imbatté in uno dei grandi esempi di questa forma di regolazione. Huygens notò che vari orologi a pendolo, appoggiati contro una parete stavano oscillando in modo perfettamente sincronizzato. Sapeva che gli orologi non potevano essere così precisi. Huygens ipotizzò che gli orologi fossero coordinati da vibrazioni trasmesse attraverso la parete. Al presente, il fenomeno è definito agganciamento d…

Canopy Architecture Appraisal by Fractal Dimension of 'Flordastar' Peach Trees Grafted onto Different Rootstocks

2007

The objective of this research was to evaluate the modification of canopy architecture of ''Flordastar'' peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) grafted onto rootstocks with different vigour, by the use of fractal dimension (D). The hypothesis was that different vigour rootstocks are able to modify the complexity of the branching pattern and that this effect can be assessed by a geometric parameter such as the fractal dimension (D) of the 2D projection of tree branching structure. The observations were carried out in a four-year-old experimental orchard of cv. ''Flordastar'' peach trees grafted onto Ishtara, Barrier, GF677 and MrS 2/5 rootstocks. On digital pictures of leafless, dormant peach tree…

Droghe leggere e criminalità organizzata: una relazione problematica

2022

Il contributo analizza il tema dei rapporti tra trattamento penale delle droghe c.d. “leggere” e contrasto alla criminalità organizzata dedita al narcotraffico, con riguardo all’ordinamento europeo, internazionale e di alcuni Paesi dell’UE (Spagna, Portogallo, Grecia, Germania e Italia). Seguendo un approccio di tipo integrato, all’analisi del dato normativo si affianca la descrizione della fenomenologia dei traffici e la valutazione dei primi effetti che le riforme antiproibizioniste entrate in vigore in alcuni ordinamenti del Nord e del Sud America hanno prodotto sul fronte del mercato illecito. Il fine è di evidenziare i punti di forza e di debolezza dei modelli di depenalizzazione, tene…
