CCS and object-oriented concepts
Buchanan, M.; Dickerson, R. (University of Hertfordshire, 1992)The visibility of using CCS as a formal specification language for classes of objects is investigated. The class based object-oriented paradigm is assumed throughout. It is concluded that CCS can be used to specify classes ... -
Exploiting statistical characteristics of word sequences for the efficient coding of speech.
Lyon, C.; Dickerson, R. (Chinese Information Processing Society of China, 1999)Characteristics of natural language can be illuminated through the application of well known tools in Information Theory. This paper shows how some of these characteristics can be exploited in the development of automated ... -
A fast partial parse of natural language sentences using a connectionist method
Lyon, C.; Dickerson, R. (Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., 1995)The pattern matching capabilities of neural networks can be used to locate syntactic constituents of natural language. This paper describes a fully automated--hybrid system, using neural nets operating within a grammatic ... -
Incremental Retrieval of documents relevant to a topic
Lyon, C.; Malcolm, J.; Dickerson, R. (2002) -
An investigation of types leading to an examination of some aspects of F-bounded interfaces and the type classes of Haskell
Buchanan, K.M.; Dickerson, R. (University of Hertfordshire, 1992)The treatment of types in programming and in type checking is considered briefly and types are distinguished from classes. The subtyping relation is discussed with particular emphasis on the consequences of combining the ... -
Plus ca change...but what changes and what stays the same
Dickerson, R.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Wernick, P. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)Since 1949 there have been some dramatic changes in the fabrication technology of computing devices but in the design of computing devices and in software technology the changes have been more limited. This short note ... -
Reducing the Complexity of Parsing by a Method of Decomposition.
Lyon, C.; Dickerson, R. (Association of Computational Linguistics, 1997)The complexity of parsing English sentences can be reduced by decomposing the problem into three subtasks. Declarative sentences can almost always be segmented into three concatenated sections: pre-subject, subject, ... -
The Segmentation of Speech and its Implications for the Emergence of Language Structure
Lyon, C.; Dickerson, R.; Nehaniv, C.L. (2003)This paper reports a phenomenon supporting the hypothesis that the emergence of structure in the evolution of language was a staged process. To develop a grammatical structure it seems necessary to first have discrete ...
