Verbal chunk extraction in French using limited resources

A way of extracting French verbal chunks, inflected and infinitive, is explored and tested on effective corpus. Declarative morphological and local grammar rules specifying chunks and some simple contextual structures are used, relying on limited lexical information and some simple heuristic/statistic properties obtained from restricted corpora. The specific goals, the architecture and the formalism of the system, the linguistic information on which it relies and the obtained results on effective corpus are presented

The Injury Test under the US and EEC Antidumping and Courntervailing Law

Antidumping and countervailing legislation contain two tests. First, is the import product dumped or subsidized? Second, is it causing injury to the domestic producers? The latter test, which is the most controversial in the history of antidumping and countervailing legislation, is, in a comparative perspective between the EEC and the USA, the focus of this thesis

An Experience With Space

Gabriel begins his essay on a philosophical note, describing the poetics of life that are evident in architecture and are a necessity for survival. The rest of the essay describes the design process through the lens of an introductory architectural design class

The Geodesic X-ray Transform with a GL (n, C)-Connection

We derive reconstruction formulas for a family of geodesic ray transforms with connection, defined on simple Riemannian surfaces. Such formulas provide injectivity of such all transforms in a neighbourhood of constant curvature metrics and non-unitary connections with curvature close to zero. If certain Fredholm equations are injective in the absence of connection, then for any smooth enough connection multiplied by a complex parameter, the corresponding transform is injective for all values of that parameter outside a discrete set. Range characterizations are also provided, as well as numerical illustrations
