Topic: Parsec (disambiguation)


In the News (Fri 10 Jul 09)

  
  Parsec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One parsec is defined to be the distance from the Earth to a star that has a parallax of 1 arcsecond.
The parsec follows naturally from this method, since the distance (in parsecs) is simply the reciprocal of the parallax angle (in arcseconds).
The Oort cloud is approximately 0.6 parsec in diameter.

Alternatively, the parsec is the distance at which two objects, separated by 1 astronomical unit, appear to be separated by an angle of 1 arcsecond.
The greater the parallax of the star the closer it is to the Earth, and the smaller its distance in parsecs.
The measurement of distances of celestial bodies from the Earth in parsecs is a key aspect of astrometry, the science of making positional measurements of celestial bodies.

 Angular diameter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In astronomy the size of objects in the sky are often measured in terms of their angular diameter as seen from Earth, rather than their actual size.
The angular diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun, from a distance of one parsec, is 2" (two arcseconds).
The angular diameter of the Sun, from a distance of one lightyear, is 0.03", of the Earth 0.0003".

A second of arc or arcsecond is a unit of angular measurement which comprises one-sixtieth of an arcminute, or 1/3600 of a degree of arc or 1/1296000 ≈ 7.7×10
It is the angular diameter of an object of 1 unit diameter at a distance of 360×60×60/(2π) ≈ 206,265 units, such as (approximately) 1 cm at 2.1 km, or 1 astronomical unit at 1 parsec, which is the definition of the parsec.
The angular diameter of the Sun, from a distance of one light year, is 0.03", of the Earth 0.0003".

It is an F7 supergiant (Ib) or bright giant (II), with two smaller companions: an F3 V main sequence star about 2000 AU away and a close companion in an orbit with a 5 AU semi-major axis.

 Citebase - SCREEN: Learning a Flat Syntactic and Semantic Spoken Language Analysis Using Artificial Neural Networks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In summary, the syntactic (semantic) plausibility of a word hypothesis sequence is evaluated by the degree of agreement between the disambiguated syntactic (semantic) category of the current word and the predicted syntactic (semantic) category of the previous word.
This semantic disambiguation is learned in a simple recurrent network which provides the mapping from the ambiguous semantic word representation to the disambiguated semantic word representation.
Figure 10 shows that the disambiguated basic syntactic representation of "meine" ("mean") as a verb-and a very small preference for a pronoun-is mapped to the verb group category at the higher abstract syntactic category representation.

Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of the PARSEC 1 chip, a vector processing element (PE) for parsing languages.
The PARSEC chip is based on a parsing algorithm which formerly ran in real time on a massively parallel machine [4]; however, the chip can achieve processing speeds fast enough for real-time language processing systems, while at the same time,...

 Supernova - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
However the typical rate for Type Ia supernovas in a galaxy is about 1 per 1000 years[1], and therefore the probability of one occurring within 1000 parsecs of Earth, given that the Milky Way is about 30,000 parsecs in diameter and 1000 parsecs thick, is probably less than 1 per 1 million years.
Thus it is likely that a nearby (100 to 1000 parsecs) Type Ia has occurred several times within the history of life on Earth (about 500 million years) but is unlikely to occur anytime within the lifespan of our species.
A recent article estimates that a Type II supernova would have to be closer than 8 parsecs (26 light years) to destroy half of the Earth's protective ozone layer.

 Ask Us A Question   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In astronomy, the preferred unit of measurement for such distances is the parsec which is defined as the distance at which an object will generate one arcsecond of parallax when the observing object moved one astronomical unit perpendicular to the line of sight to the observer.
This is equal to approximately 3.26 light years.
The parsec is preferred because it can be more easily derived from, and inter-compared with, observational data.

This additional power simplifies the handling of common syntactic idioms such as the widespread but troublesome longest-match rule, enables the use of sophisticated disambiguation strategies such as syntactic and semantic predicates, provides better grammar composition properties, and allows lexical analysis to be integrated seamlessly into parsing.
Yet despite its power, packrat parsing shares the same simplicity and elegance as recursive descent parsing; in fact converting a backtracking recursive descent parser into a linear-time packrat parser often involves only a fairly straightforward structural change.

 Packrat Parsing: a Practical Linear-Time Algorithm with Backtracking
While TDPL was originally created as a formal model for top-down parsers with backtracking capability, this thesis extends TDPL into a powerful general-purpose notation for describing language syntax, providing a compelling alternative to traditional context-free grammars (CFGs).
Common syntactic idioms that cannot be represented concisely in a CFG are easily expressed in TDPL, such as longest-match disambiguation and "syntactic predicates," making it possible to describe the complete lexical and grammatical syntax of a practical programming language in a single TDPL grammar.
Inspired by Daan Leijen's Parsec library, which was designed for traditional predictive parsers and mostly-predictive parsers with special-case backtracking.

Comment: A paper from the old special corpus-based special issues that seems more relevant to learning to control parsers (compared to the normal grammar learning view) and therefore related to our approaches that learn to control shift-reduce type parsers.
