A Pattern Matching method for finding Noun and Proper Noun Translations from Noisy Parallel Corpora
We present a pattern matching method for compiling a bilingual lexicon of
nouns and proper nouns from unaligned, noisy parallel texts of
Asian/Indo-European language pairs. Tagging information of one language is
used. Word frequency and position information for high and low frequency words
are represented in two different vector forms for pattern matching. New anchor
point finding and noise elimination techniques are introduced. We obtained a
73.1\% precision. We also show how the results can be used in the compilation
of domain-specific noun phrases.Comment: 8 pages, uuencoded compressed postscript file. To appear in the

On the topology of components of some Springer fibers and their relation to Kazhdan-Lusztig theory
We describe the irreducible components of Springer fibers for hook and
two-row nilpotent elements of gl_n(C) as iterated bundles of flag manifolds and
Grassmannians. We then relate the topology (in particular, the intersection
homology Poincare' polynomials) of the intersections of these components with
the inner products of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis elements of irreducible
representations of the rational Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type A corresponding
to the hook and two-row Young shapes.Comment: This work has been submitted to Advances in Mathematics (Academic
