Abstract: A computer system, method, and article of manufacture for extracting a term from electronic document data that includes a text segment. The system includes: a first extraction unit that uses a first text processing information to extract a noun word from the document data; a second extraction unit that uses a second text processing information to extract a term candidate in relation to the noun word or a corpus that includes text data described in the same language used in the document data; a weight assignment unit that uses a third text processing information to select which type to assign a weight from the plurality of types and assigns the weight to the selected type for each noun word and term candidate; a determination unit that determines the type to which the noun word and term candidate belong; and an output unit to output the noun word and term candidate.

Abstract: A keyword search system including a text input unit for inputting subtexts obtained by dividing each text into parts, while associating the subtexts with an event through a process recorded in the text; a prediction device adjuster for adjusting a corresponding event prediction device to maximize the percentage of text in which the inputted event is identical to a prediction result in a first text group selected from the subtexts; a prediction processor for generating a prediction result for each section, by inputting each text in a second text group selected from the corresponding subtexts in the adjusted event prediction device; and a search unit for calculating the prediction precision for the second text group of the event prediction device using a comparison between the inputted event and the prediction result for each subtext, and searching for keywords in sections with a certain degree of prediction precision.

Abstract: Sentence boundaries in noisy conversational transcription data are automatically identified. Noise and transcription symbols are removed, and a training set is formed with sentence boundaries marked based on long silences or on manual markings in the transcribed data. Frequencies of head and tail n-grams that occur at the beginning and ending of sentences are determined from the training set. N-grams that occur a significant number of times in the middle of sentences in relation to their occurrences at the beginning or ending of sentences are filtered out. A boundary is marked before every head n-gram and after every tail n-gram occurring in the conversational data and remaining after filtering. Turns are identified. A boundary is marked after each turn, unless the turn ends with an impermissible tail word or is an incomplete turn. The marked boundaries in the conversational data identify sentence boundaries.

Abstract: In the transmission of measurement data from a rotating body to a stationary receiver, a rotary signal transmitter mounted on a rotating shaft employs a printed circuit. A printed circuit board assembly for the rotary transmitter has a plurality of evenly circumferentially distributed printed circuit boards which have their electronic components facing radially inwardly so as to resist damage due to centrifugal force resulting when the shaft and boards rotate. Connecting wires connect the assembly to a temperature sensor and the signal corresponding to the temperature is transmitted via a light-emitting element to a light-sensitive element of the receiver. Another arrangement employs rotationally balanced printed circuit discs extending radially. Multiplexing means may also be provided.
