Two astonishment

Yesterday night I found a nice paper about neural network used for word sense disambugation. But I did not read it over. This morning, when I did today's work scheme, I decided to read the paper firstly.
The idea of this paper is very nice, I think!
Through the context vector, we could build a lot of input models and output models, then train the network to get the optimal structure. Later we could input the openning testing corpus, simulated to get the results.
The idea is nice.

Just now I searched "灰色" in Super Star. And I got a book with a string "grey" on the cover. At the first glance, I thought it was wrong, as I thought it should be said "gray". In order to make sure the answer, I found "gray" and "grey" in a dictionary. The answer was that they are same but "grey system" usually to translate for "灰色系统". Had found this true, I searched the "grey system" in Internet. Wa! The returned answers were more related to "灰色系统" than "gray system".
I got the conclusion that when you needed to translate a English word to Chinese or Chinese word to English, you'd better search more and more detailed, or ask for other person.

WSD for research

This afternoon, when Mr.LZM came to 615 to read Journal of Harbin Institute of Technonoly(New Series) we talked much on the reserach on WSD. He told me there were a lot of reseraching points inWSD. And we discussed a lot of techniques which could be used for WSD,such as neural network, heredity arithmetic, Simulated Annealing Algorithm, Gray system, and so on. Firstly, we didn't know whether neural notwork had been used in WDS. After we searched in Internet, we found that neural network had been used at early 90's aboard, and at 2001 domesticly. So I thought it is a good way for WSD. And the other ways were also good for try.
There were so much could be researched on.

A very busy day！

It is true that this is a very busy day!

This morning we went to a whole morning's classes of VC++ and Soft Engineering. At 13:00, I went to visit harbin electric machinery factory. It is true that the factory is famous and of large scale. At 15:30, I came back to lab and do my work again. At 18:30, I went to join a check for a software that we have spent more than half a year. And the result was that we should modify nearly half of the evaluation algorithm modules.

Right now I must complete the soft engineer's study.

So busy……

the Notice for Transfering Deliver Paper

This afternoon I received the notice for transfering deliver paper from the Editorial Department of CONTROL AND DECISION. They told me that as there are too many papers to publish and the publishing period had been delayed and so the employing proportion of new papers was too low and my paper had not been employed. But they proposed me to transfering deliver the paper to the 2004 annual learing meeting of the control and decision and if I agree with it they would deliver it to the annual meeting directly and the annual meeting would employ the paper preferentially.
Later I found some information relating to the annual meeting. And I found that the meeting is one of the six authoritative learning meeting in China. And the meeting includes the areas which gray systems included. The meeting's organizers are six big organization.
I introduced the situation to Dr.Liu and Dr.Su. Dr.Liu suggested me not deliver the paper to the annual meeting and modify the paper again and deliver it to another periodical. Dr.Su suggested me deliver it to Hit periodical.
I have thought it for several hours and there is no conclusion.

design error

This morning, I meet Mr.Tliu at 615. After I started my computer, he told me there were a lot of design error in my program for the dictionary. And I started my program, he analysised some errors in the program, and gave me many constructive advices.
After the examing of the program I use a famous dictionary's program, and I found some other errors in my program.
Why there were so many errors? I think there were two reasons.
Firstly, when I was programing for it, I wanted to complete a primary version, and then to keep consummating it. And this is a good working model for me right now, I think.
Secondly, although I have completed a lots of small projets before I joined in IR, I have a lot of flaws in programing. I should improve it. Right now, we are studying Soft Engineering, I want to study it well firstly.

WSD's idea

At this noon, I studied for a paper which was written by Changling Huang. In this paper, there is a good idea for WSD. Usually, we do WSD by making choice of the number of the semantic classes. But we do not make very good language model for the words in the context. And in this paper, the context is fully used to construct the language model. There is a noun named observational window for every word. Make a statics of probability for the words in the window to the key word, and build a vector for the key word of the context. If you make the vectors for all words, you can get a vector space. Then choice some typical high-frequency words to imply the clustering algorithm to get a lot of sets of words.
In this paper, there is a conclusion that using this method for a large corpus, you can get a lot of semantic sets which is consistent with Cilin at average probability of 81%.
This is a very good idea for WSD. But I think there are lots of other good method for WSD. We should mine them.

编程任务完成

最近两日都在完成词典界面的设计任务，卢老师交给我的任务是采用较好的界面提供词典第五、四、三层的查找功能，要求使用vb实现，原因是可以快一些实现该任务。
参考了一些有名的词典后我决定采用treeview控件来实现第五层的查找功能。但是treeview控件我从来没有用过。 又一次采用摸着石头过河的思路，我逐一解决了各个难点。最后实现的界面的第一版。 稍候又将第四层和第三层的信息加入，昨天上午最后完成了final版。 今天中午给卢老师看看后，各项要求都已经实现了。
VB真的很强大，我算是体会到了。
今天又花了一些时间来学习一些VB编程经验。感觉很有成就感呀。
