Differences in linguistic representations of concepts in Japanese and English complex noun terms
This paper compares the characteristics of Japanese complex noun terms with those of English in the field of documentation, based on a multilingual corpus. It first presents the basic characteristics of Japanese and English terms at the formal and grammatical level, then it examines the different ways of linguistic representation of concepts in Japanese and English terms, showing that these two languages sometimes adopt different ways of representing concepts, which reflect their linguistic differences.
Abstract We initiate a multi-parameter analysis of two well-known NP-hard problems on deterministic finite automata (DFAs): the problem of finding a short synchronizing word, and that of finding a DFA on few states consistent with a given sample of the intended language and its complement. For both problems, we study natural parameterizations and classify them with the tools provided by Parameterized Complexity. Somewhat surprisingly, in both cases, rather simple FPT algorithms can be shown to be optimal, mostly assuming the (Strong) Exponential Time Hypothesis.
