All rights reserved. Author............................................................. Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science September 3, 2010 Certified by . Regina Barzilay Associate Professor Thesis Supervisor Accepted by. Terry P. Orlando Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Students 2 Unsupervised Multilingual Learning by Benjamin Snyder Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on September 3, 2010, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract For centuries, scholars have explored the deep links among human languages. In this thesis, we present a class of probabilistic models that exploit these links as a form of naturally occurring supervision. These models allow us to substantially improve performance for core text processing tasks, such as morphological segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, and syntactic parsing. Besides these traditional NLP tasks, we also present a multilingual model for lost language decipherment. We test this model on the ancient Ugaritic language. Our results show that we can automatically uncover much of the historical relationship between Ugaritic and Biblical Hebrew, a known related language. Thesis Supervisor: Regina Barzilay Title: Associate Professor 3 Acknowledgments This thesis would not be possible without my collaborators: Tahira Naseem, Ja- cob Eisenstein, Kevin Knight, and most importantly, my advisor Regina Barzilay. Regina has been a brilliant and tireless advisor throughout my five years at MIT. She has set consistently high standards and has always provided the support and guidance needed to meet those standards.

Units And Credits Throughout this booklet, undergraduate Arts courses, except in first year, are given or deemed to have a unit value. A one-unit course consists of one lecture/tutorial per week for a twelve-week period or represents an equivalent proportion of the year’s work. Courses of two or three units are pro rata. Normally a student would take courses to the value of twenty-four units in a full year. In addition, University College Dublin has adopted a system of credits, awarded for work successfully completed. In line with the European Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS), a full year’s work successfully completed will be allotted 60 credits. Exchange students and others involved in ECTS transfer of courses should note that to determine the number of credits which will be allotted to a successfully completed day Arts course, the Arts Faculty unit value should be multiplied by 2.5. Thus: A one-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 2.5 credits; a two-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 5 credits; a three-unit course, successfully completed, will be awarded 7.5 credits; and twenty-four units, successfully completed, will be awarded 60 credits. N.B. Enquiries on the award of credits should be addressed to the Registrar, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4. 2 Arts – Undergraduate Contents Information For Exchange Students Re.

    2018-2019 | Academic Catalog We Train Men Because Lives Depend On It Dear Minister of the Gospel, You will certainly agree with me that there is nothing more thrilling and, at the same time, humbling than to be called by the God of the universe to be one of His special representatives to His church and to a needy and lost generation. If our wonderful Lord has laid His hand upon you for such an exciting ministry, it is critical that you receive the very best training that is available. In fact, choosing a seminary is one of the most crucial ministry decisions you will ever make. This is true because your life, and later the lives of those to whom you minister, will reflect the character and quality of your study and experience in seminary. At The Master’s Seminary we offer theological education that is centered in the inerrant Word of God, sustained by scholarly study and research, nurtured in discipling relationships and ministry experiences, characterized by personal growth, and directed toward effectiveness in evangelism and edification. Here you will find seminary training that majors on personal holiness, exegetical study, and biblical theology and does so right in the context of a vital local church. If God is calling you to a special ministry, if you aspire to effectiveness in a ministry of the Word, if you are willing to submit yourself to the discipline of diligent study and to discipleship by godly men. then we invite you to prayerfully consider the exciting potential for study with us at The Master’s Seminary.

    THE JEWISHQUARTERLY REVIEW, XCI, Nos. 1-2 (July-October, 2000) 191-196 Review Essay WILFREDG. E. WATSONAND NICOLASWYATT, eds. Handbook of Ugaritic Studies. Handbuchder Orientalistik,Abteilung 1, Band 39. Leiden: Brill, 1999. Pp. xiii + 892. The size of this volume attests to the fact that Ugaritic studies is a thriv- ing field unto itself. For much of the 20th century, Ugaritic studies served largely as the handmaidto biblical studies-and indeed it still has much to offer in that regard-but in recent decades, the study of Ras Shamra (the modern name of ancient Ugarit) and its treasures has developed into an independent field, worthy of the volume under review. The editors inform us in the Preface that Johannes de Moor conceived the project and served as its original editor, though later he ceded the work to W. G. E. Watson and N. Wyatt. We are grateful to all three scholars for the production of this excellent and most useful work, presenting in very convenient fashion a complete survey of Ugaritic studies. Watson deserves additional credit for having translated a number of the contributions from German, Italian, and Spanish. Readers of reviews do not always enjoy a listing of the chapters in a reference work, but a list will give an idea of the scope and breadth of the volume. The essays are as follows: Watson and Wyatt, "General Introduc- tion"; A. Curtis, "Ras Shamra, Minet el-Beida and Ras Ibn Hani: The Ma- terial Sources"; W. van Soldt, "The Syllabic Akkadian Texts"; W. Pitard, "The Alphabetic Ugaritic Tablets";M.

  • Josef Tropper. Ugaritische Grammatik. 1056 Pp. Münster, Ugarit-Verlag, 2000
    Josef Tropper. Ugaritische Grammatik. 1056 pp. Münster, Ugarit-Verlag, 2000. (Alter Orient und Altes Testament 273). The disadvantage of a dead language attested by a small corpus of texts is that it leaves many lacunae in our knowledge of text-dependent aspects of the culture that are revealed by that language; the advantage for the grammarian is that it permits an exhaustive inclusion of the data in a grammatical description. This T. has done in the volume under review, which explains why one of the more poorly attested of the ancient Near-Eastern languages now boasts one of the thickest grammars. The disadvantageous side for the grammarian wishing to exploit these data exhaustively is that, for many grammatical categories, they are very few, all too often a single datum or none at all. The danger is always lurking, therefore, that any given datum is for one reason or another atypical or misunderstood and that a rule be proposed that in fact has no basis. In a relatively brief time, the author has established himself as one of the principal authorities on the ancient Semitic languages, with forty-nine titles cited under his name in the bibliography, dated from 1989 to 2000, including three important monographs. Though he is familiar with the major Semitic languages, indeed has published on several of them, he has concentrated on the Northwest-Semitic languages and particularly on Ugaritic. His grammatical work has always been of the highest order and all who will in the future have reason to investigate any aspect of Ugaritic grammar will do well to start here.
