I think that text summaries can be considered as a separate genre of text because summary texts have unique stylistic features. For example, narrator change, features such as length and brevity of the text, deleted of detailed information, conjunctions that point to logical connections, discourse markers etc. But the important thing is that the purpose of the discourse, which determines the genre of text, changes. The communicative purpose in narrative texts is not the same as the purpose of the summary of that text. In some studies, summary is considered as a genre of academic text. I'm dealing with genre here in the context of a text schema. Although van Dijk claims that the summary is "reach the great proposition", it does not make it a dependent text just because the topic/content does not change in a text and sticking to the original text. Rather, it uses distinctive linguistic markers. If the situation were only the topic or content of the text, there would be no art or literature.

Answer
It depends on the text type in some cases your proposition is correct but in some cases, it may not work, for example, medical text, scientific text, and text of similar nature.

There is a regex engine I used for the NLP processing from Apache: https://opennlp.apache.org/docs/.
My own favorite is though the regex engine in Python that simply works. However, you have to instantiate the Python engine first before you use regexps http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/JythonAndJavaIntegration.html

Hi ,
I know that most of existing probabilistic and statistical term-weighting schemes (TF-IDF and its variation) are based on linked independence assumption between index terms. On the other hand, semantic information retrieval are seeks the importance of linked dependence between index terms each other.
Please, I am wondering when linked dependence between index terms is vital ? When also can we neglect linked dependence between index terms?
Note: dependence assumption: if two index terms have the same occurrences in the document, this will tend to that index terms are dependent and they should have the same term-weight values. 
Thanks
Osman

Answer
Hi Vladimir,
Thank you for your answer, but in Information Retrieval, the partially judged document collections  have an issue with relevance judgement values. Thus, I think,  term- weights should have partially semantic relation such as term-weights dependence in unjudged documents. However, the text classification problem has not this issue.

Hello!
I'm a student of a university and trying to interpret indicator diagram of internal combustion engine. as a part of this, I have to find average specific heat ratio of gas inside the cylinder. and to do that, I have to find out specific heat at constant pressure(Cp). my professor gave me the three approximate expressions(but only its name.). Danisi(?), Khül, JANAF. (I'm not sure about the 'Danisi' because it's a name of Japanese and I can't find his name in anywhere... so I just transcribe it as pronounced in my language. But since the professor says don't use it because he used it for example so it doesn't really matter... in fact it does matter but I don't have enough time for that now...)
I tried thermodynamics textbooks in the university library, I tried to google it, I tried asking professor(he gave me a textbook but it's all Japanese... and I never learn Japanese...). I found about who is Khül and what is JANAF(and JANAF table...) but I can't find approximate expression about specific heat. So I hope, someone teaches me about it but that's unrealistic... so just, I would very glad if someone gives me a link to a page that explains about it, or where/how to find it.
-In short, I want to find about JANAF approximate expression of specific heat and Khül's approximate expression of specific heat... 
I'll attach an example that my professor offered.
Thank you for your time!

The problem you are facing depends on the molecule you are considering. There is no general approximate equation. Anyway for some mixtures databases exists considering piecewise polynomial expression. I attach a report with these quantities for martian atmosphere species.

Question

I have some files containing a Persian sentence, a tab and then an English word in each line. The English words show the sentence class. some files have 2 classes, some 3 and some more. I extracted 1000 words from the file and made a term document matrix. The columns of the matrix are the classes and the rows are the words. Now I want to change this matrix to SVD which returns u, sigma and V (Vt) and then do dimension reduction. 1) How can I do that? (I've enclosed the code (python3) but I'm not sure if it's right or no. I copied from the net)
2) when I print the term document matrix, it only returns the start and last lines of the matrix (because it's too large). How can I print all of the matrix?
Then I have to find each word's vector according to u*sigma. 3) How should I make such vector (actually a matrix which is the indexes of each row of u*sigma matrix)?
hint: this a part of LSA project.

Hello Vahideh,
If your original matrix is M*N and you want to transform it to M*n, then you can use the following piece of code.
from sklearn.decomposition import TruncatedSVD
svd = TruncatedSVD(n_components=n, n_iter=7, random_state=42)
svd.fit(term_document_matrix)
svd.transform(term_document_matrix)

I have a file containing a Persian sentence, a tab and then an English word. I have to delete stop words and punctuation in the file. I wrote the code in python 3, but because in some words the punctuation attaches to the word, and it is counted as a part of the word and not punctuation, it can't be deleted. So I need to use regular expression to delete stop words. I tried to use that in the code below, but I couldn't. How can I change the code below that it works correctly? (in fact, what should I write exactly?) thanks.

Answer
In your code you're trying to remove stop words and then delete punctuation from the remaining string.
If this is exactly what you want to achieve I would start with removing punctuation:
some_text.translate(None, string.punctuation)
and then simply:
' '.join([word for word in some_text.split() if word not in StopWords])

1/ If we consider a context defining a term as a set of sentences giving necessary information about the meaning of this term, would it be a contextual definition or a definitional context?
2/ Can we find other types of definitions in one definitional context?

Answer
Contextual definition: a definition of a phenomenon that is context dependent vs Definitional context: a situation or context that is of cardinal importance in the definition of a phenomenon. As can be seen, therefore, though the two are related, they may not mean the same thing: one is in essence A DEFINITION, while the other is A CONTEXT.

does anyone express the relationship between the word order and communication ?
Relevant answer
Answer
If one was able to come up with a formula for the relationship between word order and communication, you would be on the way to winning something like a Nobel prize. You would resolve some very difficult NLP challenges. However, without getting into the deeper problem, lets have a look at what we are talking about. Word order refers to the conventional arrangement of words in a phrase. In other words, it is the sequence of words in a sentence, especially as governed by grammatical rules such as SVO which is a relatively fixed pattern in English (in affirmative sentences). The primary word orders that are of interest are the constituent order of a clause – the relative order of subject, object, and verb; the order of modifiers (adjectives, numerals, demonstratives, possessives, and adjuncts) in a noun phrase; and the order of adverbials. You can then play around with these and see how they impact on meaning. OSV is marked in English "Bread they ate". But you can always contextualise "Bread they ate all the time because there was nothing else to eat".

I am trying to develop software to get suitable attributes for entities names depending on entity type.
For example if I have entities such doctor, nurse, employee , customer, patient , lecturer , donor, user, developer, designer, driver, passenger and technician, they all will have attributes such as name, sex, date of birth, email address, home address and telephone number because all of them are people.
Second example word such as university, college, hospital, hotel and supermarket can share attributes such as name, address and telephone number because all of them could be organization.
Are there any Natural Language Processing tools and software could help me to achieve my goal. I need to identify entity type as person or origination then I attached  suitable attributes according to the entity type?
I have looked at Name Entity Recognition (NER) tool such as Stanford Name Entity recognizer which can extract Entity such as Person, Location, Organization, Money, time, Date and Percent But it was not really useful.
I can do it by building my own gazetteer however I do not prefer to go to this option unless I failed to do it automatically.  
Any helps, suggestions and ideas will be appreciated.  
Relevant answer
Answer
Mussa,
This might not be a very helpful answer, but from my understanding NLP techniques often rely on context to understand what is being discussed.  So a single word like "doctor" is very difficult to understand unless it is in some kind of context like "a doctor treats sick people".  From the sentence, an NLP machine might recognize that doctor is a noun and might infer something about relating to people.  Without this context, it will be tough to discern the categorical differences between single words. 
It might be less complicated (although more time-consuming) to create a predefined list of terms that you would like to classify and then simply match words to those lists in order to create your associated list of features for a given entity.
Hope that helps.

CDA framework has been widely used by Chinese linguistic analysts recently.

Each animal has a unique animal number and each enclosure has a unique enclosure number. An animal can live in only one enclosure. An enclosure can have several animals in it or it can be currently empty. A zookeeper has a unique employee number. Every animal has been cared for by at least one and generally many zookeepers; each zookeeper has cared for at least one and generally many animals. Each time a zookeeper performs a specific, significant service for an animal the service type, date, and time are recorded. A zookeeper may perform a particular service on a particular animal more than once on a given day.
A sponsor, who has a unique sponsor number and a unique National Insurance number, sponsors at least one and possibly several animals. An animal may have several sponsors or none. For each animal that a particular sponsor sponsors, the zoo wants to track the annual sponsorship contribution and renewal date.

A simplified definition of a token in NLP is as follows: A token is a string of contiguous characters between two spaces, or between a space and punctuation marks. A token can also be an integer, real, or a number with a colon (time, for example: 2:00). All other symbols are tokens themselves except apostrophes and quotation marks in a word (with no space), which in many cases symbolize acronyms or citations. A token can present a single word or a group of words (in morphologically rich languages such as Hebrew) as the following token "ולאחי" (VeLeAhi) that includes 4 words "And to my brother".
