TL;DR: This paper matched fragments of a source language sentence to be translated to source language portions of an example in example base, and then replaced the aligned target language phrases from the matched examples for the matched fragments in the source language sentences in the same example.
Abstract: The present invention performs machine translation by matching fragments of a source language sentence to be translated to source language portions of an example in example base. When all relevant examples have been identified in the example base, the examples are subjected to phrase alignment in which fragments of the target language sentence in each example are aligned against the matched fragments of the source language sentence in the same example. A translation component then substitutes the aligned target language phrases from the matched examples for the matched fragments in the source language sentence.

TL;DR: In this article, a co-occurrence ranker was used to identify topics of document data, and a phrase selector for selecting the highest ranking phrases as the topic or topics of the document data; and an output device for outputting data relating to the selected topics.
Abstract: Apparatus for identifying topics of document data has: a word ranker (171) for ranking words that are present in or representative of the content of the document data; a co-occurrence ranker (172) for ranking co-occurrences of words that are present in or representative of the content of the document data; a phrase ranker (170) for ranking phrases in the document data; a word selector (174) for selecting the highest ranking words; a co-occurrence identifier (176) for identifying which of the highest ranking co-occurrences contain at least one of the highest ranking words; a phrase identifier (177) for identifying the phrases containing at least one word from the identified co-occurrences; a phrase selector (178) for selecting the highest ranking one or ones of the identified phrases as the topic or topics of the document data; and an output device (40) for outputting data relating to the selected topics.

TL;DR: This article found that difficulty of reanalysis was not affected by the position of the head noun within the ambiguous phrase, and interpreted these results in terms of theories of structural change such as Sturt and Crocker (1996).

TL;DR: A lexical decision paradigm was used to examine syntactic influence on word recognition in sentences and results showed noun targets yielded lower RTs than did verb targets after contexts of a transitive verb followed by a prepositional phrase.
Abstract: A lexical decision paradigm was used to examine syntactic influence on word recognition in sentences. Initial fragments of sentences were presented visually (CRT display) one word at a time (at reading speeds), from left to right. The string terminated with the appearance of a lexical decision target. The grammatical structure of the incomplete sentence affected lexical decision reaction time (RT). In Experiment 1, modal verb contexts followed by main verb targets and preposition contexts followed by noun targets produced lower RTs than did the opposite pairings (i.e., modal/noun and preposition/verb). In Experiment 2, transitive verb contexts followed by noun targets and subject noun phrase contexts followed by verb targets yielded lower RTs than did the opposite pairings. Similar contrasts for adjective targets did not yield comparable effects in Experiment 2, but did when the adjective was the head of a predictable phrase (Experiment 4). In Experiment 3, noun targets yielded lower RTs than did verb targets after contexts of a transitive verb followed by a prepositional phrase. An account of these effects is offered in terms of parsing constraints on phrasal categories.
