Automatic Text Alignment Using Recursive Hapax-Based Cut-Through Fragmentation

Communication over the Internet becomes the necessity of life. Multi-lingual machine translation systems are developed to support such communication. One of the most commonly used approaches is the example-based approach which requires a large set of examples as reference. These examples are prepared by aligning the parallel texts either manually or semi-automatically with human intervention. This requires much effort and is time-consuming considering the large number of examples needed to ensure the quality of the translation. Moreover, the fact that humans make mistakes and has preferences raises the consistency issue. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic aligner

Identifying And Classifying Unknown Words In Malay Texts.

In this paper, we propose a method based on a chain of filters to handle the problem of identifying and classifying unknown words in Malay texts. A word is identified as unknown when it is not listed in the lexicon

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES STUDY OF DURIO ZIBETHINUS SKIN FIBER REINFORCED POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITE

Composite materials have been continuously innovated and developed so that they can be improved in almost any criteria as their characteristics are preferable to singlephase materials. Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites can sustainably reduce inorganic and organic wastes, aside from serving as materials with improved mechanical properties. In this study, fiber extracted from Durio zibethinus (durian) skin was examined. Durio zibethinus (DZ) fiber was fabricated into fiber paper sheets and underwent hotpress lamination to produce a composite. This study investigates the differences between fibers extracted from DZ skin and husk. Tensile and micro Vickers tests were performed on the fabricated composites. The results show that the tensile behaviour of the composite fabricated from DZ skin fiber had a value of 20.1 MPa compared with the composite fabricated from a mixture of skin and husk which had a value of 19.4 MPa. These findings suggest that using durian skin resulted in better tensile strength with a FVF (fiber volume fraction) of 18%, compared with using a mixture of skin and husk which had a FVF range of between 8% and 23%. The hardness, meanwhile, increased with the FVF for the composite fabricated from a mixture of DZ skin and husk. This natural fiber composite has the potential to be used in households, automotive parts, lightweight furniture and many other composite engineering applications

Large-Scale Whole-Genome Sequencing of Three Diverse Asian Populations in Singapore

Because of Singapore's unique history of immigration, whole-genome sequence analysis of 4,810 Singaporeans provides a snapshot of the genetic diversity across East, Southeast, and South Asia.</p
