Tags:Chinese Computing Linguistics Microsoft Research word parsing
微软公司中国研究开发中心 has a brief intro to the word segmentation problem in Chinese. It is meant for the general audience but it does a good job in laying out the basic issue, general solutions, and examples of applications.
摘要 中文软件需要具有对中文文本的输入、显示、编辑、输出等基本功能，而且随着计算机技术的发展，对于计算机的文本处理 能力提出了更高的要求，诸如智能拼音语句输入、手写和语音自动识别输入；文章的校对；简体和繁体中文的自动转换；信息检索和信息摘录；文本分类和自动文 摘；语音合成；自然语言的理解和自动翻译；自然语言接口等。 而所有这些中文处理功能都要建立在对汉语文本的分词处理这一基本功能之上。因而，汉语分词是中文信息处理的基础，在中文信息处理系统中具有广泛的应用前 景。

Tags:Chinese Computing Linguistics word parsing 海量 provides a limited version of their Chinese segmentation system 海量智能分词研究版（点击下载）. Haven’t tried but it is based on the idea of granularity of words:
我们认为各种应用对分词要求的颗粒度是不同的. 比如自动分类、关键词抽取比搜索需要的分词颗粒度要大, 因为这样表示文本语义特征时效果会更好, 而检索有一个查全率的要求, 就需要把分词单位做的更为细致, 不然就会造成漏查. 海量系统现在提供了两种颗粒的规则, 其中, 默认的为大颗粒接口, 主要用于自动分类、信息挖潜、机器翻译、语音合成、人工智能等领域, 用于提升信息分析的有效性和准确性; 另外一种应用为小颗粒度分词也叫检索优化分词接口, 用于信息检索领域, 用于提升查全率. 例如: 对"中华人民共和国"进行分词: 大颗粒度分词(默认方式)结果为: 中华人民共和国 小颗粒度分词(检索优化)结果为: […]

Tags:algorithm Computing ica Research statistics A. Hyvärinen pointed out an intriguing analogy between ICA and Projection Pursuit (Wikipedia stub) — both involve rotating N-D space to look for interesting — defined as nongaussian — distributions or structures in the data. Conceptually, ICA explicitly defined "interesting" as nongaussian and requires successive components to […]

The logic for the following paper is simple: Do ICA, identify the artifact component, and do a high-pass filter with Wavelet to take out the oculomotor signals, then to put everything back again. This leaves "leaked" brain signals untouched in the supposedly […]
