Multimedia information fusion technology is currently a popular technology for data processing. The advanced productivity it brings is dozens of times that of traditional data information processing. The collected and processed information is not only efficient and accurate, but also has strong scalability. With the continuous development of…

In a wide range of fields, professional practice is being transformed by the increasing influence of digital analytics: the massive volumes of big data, and software algorithms that are collecting, comparing and calculating that data to make predictions and even decisions. Researchers in a number of social sciences have been calling attention to…

The advent of Web 2.0, also called the Social Web, has changed the way people interact with the Web. Assisted by the technologies associated with this new trend, users now play a much more active role as content providers. This Web paradigm shift has also changed how companies operate and interact with their employees, partners and customers. The…

Diagnosing begins by generating an initial diagnostic hypothesis by automatic information processing. Information processing may stop here if the hypothesis is accepted, or analytical processing may be used to refine the hypothesis. This description portrays analytic processing as an optional extra in information processing, leading us to…

The second edition of the directory presents information about the computer services provided to outside customers by commercial concerns, service bureaus, consultants, and educational and research establishments throughout the world. It lists the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and principal officers of institutions and companies, together…

Results of an attempt to extend the capabilities of a previously-existing automatic abstracting system by adding a modification procedure designed to make system-produced abstracts more acceptable to readers are reported. A rationale for this modification phase is presented, along with several modification rules and methods for improving…

The handbook was designed to serve as a job scheduling guide and general reference for the data control section of the Southern University Computer Center (SUCC). A description of the computer operations service procedure at Southern University is provided. For each computer job catalogued and inventoried by the SUCC, a summary page is included…

This paper describes how the problem of resolution of syntactic ambiguities is approached in the parser PHRASE, developed for use in experiments in automatic indexing and extracting. PHRASE is a multi-level parser for declarative sentences, in which the syntactic structure is built up in four stages. (10 references) (Author)

A method of constructing a check digit for nonconventional chemical codes is described. (5 references) (Author)

A listing of organizations providing computer searches of the ERIC data base. (JH)

This report describes the tasks and related efforts necessary to convert the present Qualitative Developments Requirements Information (QDRI) Program from a clerical operation into an automated information processing system. A description of the QDRI Program is presented whereby current operations, files, procedures, etc. are contrasted to planned…

Progress is reported on the development of a partial syntactic analysis technique for indexing text. Although over 500,000 words of text have been indexed, this report is limited to the analysis of results at the 115,000 word level. There is the expectation that the error rate of commission, the selection of grammatically incorrect word sequences,…

The boundary between two neighboring rings is called the fusion lines, which is enclosed by external segments called arcs. In the code, the separation of fusion line(s) from arcs takes place in such a way that proper matching is achieved. By this procedure, the structure of a compound is recreated. (Author)

A Teletype Model 37 machine has been modified for the coding of chemical structures. The coding rate of this model is higher than that of other machines of this type. The rationale for choosing this particupar type of input equipment is presented. (6 references) (Author/SM)
