Joana Vieira, uma menina de 14 anos com um tumor, realizou seu sonho de ver o Papa Bento XVI no Vaticano. A visita deu-lhe nova esperança para resistir à sua doença. Agora em casa, ela incentiva outras crianças doentes a nunca desistirem da esperança.
HANDLING UNKNOWN WORDS IN NAMED ENTITY RECOGNITION USING TRANSLITERATIONijnlc
The document discusses handling unknown words in named entity recognition using transliteration. It proposes an approach where named entities in training data are transliterated into other languages and stored in transliteration files. During testing, if an unknown entity is encountered, it is checked against the transliteration files and assigned the corresponding tag if found. The approach is shown to achieve 95.8% recall, 96.3% precision and 96.04% F-measure on a multilingual named entity recognition task handling words from English, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi and Urdu. Performance metrics for named entity recognition systems such as precision, recall and F-measure are also discussed.
Hybrid part of-speech tagger for non-vocalized arabic textijnlc
The document presents a hybrid part-of-speech tagging method for Arabic text that combines rule-based and statistical approaches. Rule-based tagging alone can misclassify words and leave some untagged, so the method integrates it with a Hidden Markov Model tagger. The hybrid approach is evaluated on two Arabic corpora and achieves accuracy rates of 97.6% and 98%, outperforming the individual rule-based and HMM taggers.
The fires occurred in Victoria, Australia during the summer of 2009. Multiple fires broke out across the state due to a combination of high temperatures and strong winds. Over 200 individual fires were recorded, destroying over 2,000 homes and claiming 173 lives making it Australia's worst natural disaster.

1. The document proposes SmartGrammar, a new method for developing spoken language understanding grammars for inflectional languages like Italian.
2. SmartGrammar uses a morphological analyzer to convert user utterances into their canonical forms before parsing, allowing the grammar to contain only canonical word forms rather than all possible inflections.
3. This significantly reduces the complexity and size of grammars for inflectional languages by representing many possible inflected forms with a single canonical form entry, making grammar development and management easier.
Chemistry is an important subject that the author is introducing on their new web page. The short message welcomes everybody and states that chemistry will be the focus of the new web page.
The document announces a symposium titled "From Mice to Mankind: The Lines That Connect" to be held on October 6, 2009 at Haifa University. The symposium will include several presentations on topics related to environmental health such as the behavioral effects of developmental exposure to organophosphates, the use of environmental geology in epidemiological studies, and the health impacts on children in the Haifa Bay area. Coffee will be served during a break and the day will conclude with a discussion of the precautionary principle and other safety principles as well as the "Seven Deadly Sins of Environmental Health Research".
(1) The document summarizes discussions from a forum on social networks in Chinese-speaking societies. Key topics included the political significance of language in multiethnic Malaysia and challenges of anonymity, cyber troopers, and censorship.
(2) In Malaysia, the Chinese community sees Chinese literacy as important to their social and ethnic identity in the country's racially divided politics. A Chinese blog called "blook.my" was created to encourage writing and community among Chinese speakers.
(3) Issues discussed included some social networks requiring a primary language that can exclude others, and localized Chinese dialects/languages in Malaysia forming barriers between language groups even within the country. Cyber troopers called "Wu-Mao Party
(1) The document summarizes key takeaways from a forum on the future of social networking in Taiwan. It discusses how social change groups can use social media to form alliances, support other groups' work, and verify their scale of support.
(2) It also notes that social media provides new opportunities for participation like expression, learning, and activism. While audiences on social media still have a demassified structure, groups can use social media to communicate strategically like managing a brand.
(3) The forum involved a discussion of a research report on the future of social networking. Participants discussed individual behaviors on social media and how social change groups engage through social media. They suggested additional ways for groups
