In particular, insufficient attention has been paid to the complex demands this form places on TIE actors and as such, the artistry required of them. This thesis addresses these gaps by exploring the experiences of nine TIE actors engaged in two issue-based, interactive TIE works presented in Hong Kong.

No space between the 2 characters, for example, AUYEUNG, SZETO b. A hyphen (-) between the 2 characters, for example, AU-YEUNG, SZE-TO For a married female, her maiden name should be used as the employee’s surname. Solutions:- (A) Last Names made up of 2 Chinese characters should be entered as per the example below – in the "Last" name field of the People form: “AU YEUNG” should be entered as either “AUYEUNG” or “AU-YEUNG”. (B) For married female employees, the Last Name is taken from the "Previous Last Name” field in the "Further Name" tab (People form), if entered. Otherwise, it is obtained from the "Last" name field of the People form.

  • Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information
    Proceedings of PACLIC 19, the 19th Asia-Pacific Conference on Language, Information and Computation. Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information Shiho Nobesawa Ikuo Tahara Department of Information Sciences Department of Information Sciences Tokyo University of Science Tokyo University of Science 2641 Yamazaki, Noda 2641 Yamazaki, Noda Chiba, 278-8510, Japan Chiba, 278-8510, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Language identification has been an interesting and fascinating issue in natural language processing for decades, and there have been many researches on it. However, most of the researches are for documents, and though the possibility of high accuracy for shorter strings of characters, language identification for words or phrases has not been discussed much. In this paper we propose a statistical method of language identification for phrases, and show the empirical results for person names of 9 languages (12 areas). Our simple method based on n-gram and phrase length obtained more than 90% of accuracy for Japanese, Korean and Russian, and fair results for other languages except English. This result indicated the possibility of language identification for person names based on statistics, which is useful in multi-language person name detection and also let us expect the possibility of language identification for phrases with simple statistics-based methods. 1. Introduction The technology of language identification has become more important with the growth of the WWW. As Grefenstette reported in their paper (Grefenstette 2000) non-English languages are growing in recent years on the WWW, and the need for automatic language identification for both documents and phrases are increasing.
