    Thymic Atrophy and Immune Dysregulation in Infants with Complex Congenital Heart Disease

    Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, and up to 50% of infants with CHD require cardiovascular surgery early in life. Current clinical practice often involves thymus resection during ...

    Incident-Driven Machine Translation and Name Tagging for Low-resource Languages

    We describe novel approaches to tackling the problem of natural language processing for low-resource languages. The approaches are embodied in systems for name tagging and machine translation (MT) that we cons...

    Applications of Weighted Automata in Natural Language Processing

    We explain why weighted automata are an attractive knowledge representation for natural language problems. We first trace the close historical ties between the two fields, then present two complex real-world p...

    Backward and Forward Bisimulation Minimisation of Tree Automata

    We improve an existing bisimulation minimisation algorithm for tree automata by introducing backward and forward bisimulations and develo** minimisation algorithms for them. Minimisation via forward bisimula...

    Bisimulation Minimisation for Weighted Tree Automata

    We generalise existing forward and backward bisimulation minimisation algorithms for tree automata to weighted tree automata. The obtained algorithms work for all semirings and retain the time complexity of th...

    Tiburon: A Weighted Tree Automata Toolkit

    The availability of weighted finite-state string automata toolkits made possible great advances in natural language processing. However, recent advances in syntax-based NLP model design are unsuitable for thes...
