Although term extraction has been researched for more than 20 years, only a few studies focus on under-resourced languages. Moreover, bilingual term mapping from comparable corpora for these languages has attracted researchers only recently. This paper presents methods for term extraction, term tagging in documents, and bilingual term mapping from comparable corpora for four under-resourced languages: Croatian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Romanian. Methods described in this paper are language independent as long as language specific parameter data is provided by the user and the user has access to a part of speech or a morpho-syntactic tagger.
South African linguist George Poulos, who has specialized in the study of the phonetics of African languages, has found clues in the evolution of the human mouth to the origins of human language. A South African of Greek descent, he is now Professor Emeritus at the University of South Africa.
This article touches upon the problem of inequalities in academia resulting from neoliberal capitalism and existing publishing policy and discusses its possible consequences. Building on the author’s own experiences as a researcher working on linguistic minorities and as an academic administrator, it explores how power relations work in parts of the scientific world situated on the peripheries of the Western “centre” – via the neoliberal economy, access to funding and international recognition. Publishing in high-status, English-language journals requires “non-centre” academics to adopt Western conventions of publishing, including in the style of reasoning, the structure of the text, and preferring references from the Anglo-American academic tradition. Only by complying can such researchers secure a place in academia and further their careers. However difficult it may be, the author argues, the hegemony of Western-model knowledge construction may only be questioned from inside, by the “centre” academics.
Modern JavaScript Tutorial: simple, but detailed explanations with examples and tasks, including: closures, document and events, object oriented programming and more.
uly 16, 2019: "Elon Musk’s Neuralink, the secretive company developing brain-machine interfaces, showed off some of the technology it has been developing to the public for the first time. The goal is to eventually begin implanting devices in paraplegic humans, allowing them to control phones or computers.
24 April 2019 Nature "News and views": A brain–computer interface device synthesizes speech using the neural signals that control lip, tongue, larynx and jaw movements, and could be a stepping stone to restoring speech function in individuals unable to speak. A brain–computer interface synthesizes speech using neural signals.
"GPT-3 is the latest and greatest in the AI world, achieving state-of-the-art in a range of tasks. Its main breakthrough is eliminating the need for task-specific fine-tuning. In terms of size, the model drastically scales up once again, reaching 175 billion parameters, or 116x the size of its predecessor."
In 2017, researchers asked: Could AI write most code by 2040? OpenAI’s GPT-3, now in use by beta testers, can already code in any language. Machine-dominated coding is almost at our doorstep. GPT-3…

[I]nstead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.
Learn more about how the Rust programming language shares many of the advantages offered by Haskell such as a strong type system, great tooling, polymorphism, immutability, concurrency, and great software testing methodologies. Rust is a good choice when you need to squeeze in extra performance.
A comprehensive list of new ES features, including ES2015 (ES6), ES2016 (ES7), ES2017 (ES8), ES2018 (ES9), ES2019 (ES10) - daumann/ECMAScript-new-features-list
In some domains of programming it’s common to want to write a data structure or algorithm that can work with elements of many different types, such as a generic list or a sorting algorithm that only needs a comparison function.
ECMAScript 2019 has landed! It's time to look what's new and... go beyond that! ECMA-262 and ECMAScript 2019 release cycle, features, proposals and more!
Not all compilers are created equal There are many ways to skin a cat, and for each one there is a statically typed language that compiles to JavaScript. Among the most known we have TypeScript (TS), PureScript (PS), Elm, Reason, Flow and Dart. But why are there so many? Why do they exist and what is […]
Who knows — probably? That’s not the point of this article – I am not going to talk about what Elm could be, I am going to tell you what it is today. Elm is a functional language that compiles to…
Alla språk likställs när Fittja biblioteket öppnar sina dörrar nästa vecka. Istället för egna hyllor för böcker på andra språk än svenska sorteras nu böckerna efter teman och språken blandas på hyllan. – Ett helt unikt system för Botkyrka, säger bibliotekarien Pethra Öster.

C’est le sous-titre de l’ouvrage de Florence Montreynaud, Le roi des cons, publié aux éditions Le Robert, en janvier 2018. Il ne s’agit pas d’un prolongement de la magnifique chanson du « maître » Georges Brassens ou de la série de dessins du très regretté Georges Wolinski.
"I began writing my novel Soul Mountain to dispel my inner loneliness at the very time when works I had written with rigorous self-censorship had been banned. Soul Mountain was written for myself and without the hope that it would be published."
COATI – the Collective for Autonomy in Interpreting Technology- was formed in Barcelona in 2009, bringing together people who had participated in anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation movements. We had supported the peasant farmers of Via Campesina in the creation of the movement for Food Sovereignty, and had volunteered as interpreters (sometimes in very precarious conditions) and seen the value of good alternative technology; we had learnt to organise horizontally and by consensus in the Do-It-Yourself culture of anarchist and anti-capitalist social centres all over Europe; we had built an understanding of technology in the squatted hacklabs and free software communities; we learnt about sound systems running hardcore punk festivals, street parties and independent, community-based radio stations; and it was those experiences, and the values of those communities, that inspired the project.
