THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO DEVISE AN ALGORITHM FOR A STEM RECOGNITION PROGRAM DESIGNED TO SEARCH FOR THE ROOT OF ANY HEBREW WORD AS WELL AS TO DETECT INNER CHANGES ON THE GIVEN ROOT. SUCH AN ALGORITHM COULD BE USED IN LIBRARY CATALOGING AND IN CREATING INDEXES AND CONCORDANCES OF TEXTS IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE. IN THIS STUDY THE HEBREW…

A comprehensive system for transformational grammar has been designed and is being implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax." The major innovations include a full and formal description of the syntax of a transformational…

Provides a solution method for the problem of finding an optimal traffic network in its simplest form where there are no congestion costs. (Author)

This Noun Reference Dictionary is divided into two sections: nouns derived from verb roots and those not so. The following features are noted in each entry: (1) class index; (2) occurrence in idiomatic expression; (3) part of speech; (4) declinability; (5) occurrence with prefixes "B,""K,""L," and "M," or…

This document comprises the second part of the pure nominal section of the Noun Reference Dictionary. See AL 002 267 for the first part, and AL 002 269 and AL 002 270 for the verb root-nominal sections. ED 019 668 and AL 002 296 contain a description of the project. (DO)

Some of the major results of future goals of an automatic program synthesis project are described in the two papers that comprise this document. The first paper gives a detailed algorithm for synthesizing a computer program from a trace of its behavior. Since the algorithm involves a search, the length of time required to do the synthesis of…

This document comprises the first part of the section of the Noun Reference Dictionary concerned with nouns derived from verb roots. See AL 002 270 for Part II. The format of this section is the same as that described in AL 002 267 for the pure nominal section of the dictionary. Roots are indicated. For other related documents, see ED 019 668, AL…

This document comprises the second part of the section of the Noun Reference Dictionary concerned with nouns derived from verb roots. See AL 002 269 for the first part, ED 019 668 and AL 002 296 for a description of the project, and AL 002 267 and AL 002 268 for the section of the dictionary dealing with pure nominals. (DO)

This paper describes PAL--a new computer language. It is used as a pedagogical vehicle in an undergraduate subject called "Programming Linguistics." This subject is designed primarily for sophomores who anticipate a major professional interest in computer science and has two objectives. The first is to study linguistic constructs for the…

The papers in this volume describe computer runs with six different transformational grammars, in each case using the computer system for transformational grammar described in AL 002 220. They are collected as examples which, it is hoped, will encourage other linguistics to use the system. The motivation for the first three projects described was…

The first section of this course on programming introduces LISP as a programming language designed to do symbol manipulation, with consequent prevalence in auto-instructional (AI) work. A programming language specifies in its description a number of primitive operations which the computer knows how to perform. An algorithm is the set of…

Chapter I, an introduction to machine translation of languages, contains a simplified description of electronic computing machines, and a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of machine translation research. A historical background of machine translation of languages is given, together with a description of various machine translation…

THE INVESTIGATION IS CONCERNED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC INDEXING, ABSTRACTING, AND EXTRACTING SYSTEMS. BASIC INVESTIGATIONS IN ENGLISH MORPHOLOGY, PHONETICS, AND SYNTAX ARE PURSUED AS NECESSARY MEANS TO THIS END. IN THE FIRST SECTION THE THEORY AND DESIGN OF THE "SENTENCE DICTIONARY" EXPERIMENT IN AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION IS OUTLINED. SOME OF…

Using string-manipulation algorithms, FORTRAN computer programs were designed for analysis of written material. The programs measure length of a text and its complexity in terms of the average length of words and sentences, map the occurrences of keywords or phrases, calculate word frequency distribution and certain indicators of style. Trials of…
