  • Predicting Garden Path Sentences Based on Natural Language Understanding System
    International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2012
    Co-Authors: Du Jia-li, Yu Ping-fang
    Abstract:

    Natural language understanding (NLU) focusing on machine reading comprehension is a branch of natural language processing (NLP). The domain of the developing NLU system covers from sentence decoding to text understanding and the automatic decoding of GP sentence belongs to the domain of NLU system. GP sentence is a special linguistic phenomenon in which processing breakdown and backtracking are two key features. If the syntax-based system can present the special features of GP sentence and decode GP sentence completely and perfectly, NLU system can improve the effectiveness and develop the understanding skill greatly. On the one hand, by means of showing Octav Popescu's model of NLU system, we argue that the emphasis on the integration of syntactic, semantic and cognitive backgrounds in system is necessary. On the other hand, we focus on the programming skill of If-Then-Else Statement used in N-S flowchart and highlight the function of context free grammar (CFG) created to decode GP sentence. On the basis of example-based analysis, we reach the conclusion that syntax- based machine comprehension is technically feasible and semantically acceptable, and that N-S flowchart and CFG can help NLU system present the decoding procedure of GP sentence successfully. In short, syntax-based NLU system can bring a deeper understanding of GP sentence and thus paves the way for further development of syntax-based natural language processing and artificial intelligence.

  • an extension of the asc language compiler to support multiple instruction streams in the masc model using the manager worker paradigm
    Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications, 2006
    Co-Authors: Wittaya Chantamas, Johnnie W. Baker, Maximilian Scherger
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we describe and implement compiler extension for a parallel computer language called Associative Computing (ASC) language to support multiple instruction streams in a Multiple Associative Computing (MASC) model using manager-worker paradigm. A user directed MASC directive is used to enable concurrent executions of the THEN part and the ELSE part in a parallel IFTHEN-ELSE Statement by using two different workerinstruction streams. For most applications, this technique should substantially improves the performance of the system over its performance using only one instruction stream; moreover it is more effective than using multiple instruction streams to execute every parallel If-Then-Else Statements found in a program. When the overhead outweighs the benefit gained from using multiple instruction streams, a user can choose to use only one instruction stream to execute the If-Then-Else Statement. While not explicitly covered here, parallel CASE Statements can be handled similarly.
