What are TEX and LATEX, and Friends?

TEX ASCII TeX, /tEx/, /tEk/

A computer typesetting system created by Donald Knuth

for ‘the creation of beautiful books’

LATEX ASCII LaTeX, /"leItEx/, /"leItEk/, /"lA:tEx/, /"lA:tEk/

A document preparation system by Leslie Lamport

Binaries ε-TEX: additional primitives to TEX

pdfTEX: additional PDF-related primitives

X ETEX: native UTF-8 input; can access system fonts

LuaTEX: includes the Lua scripting engine

Friends BIBTEX, MakeIndex, METAFONT,METAPOST, . . .

http://www.ctan.org/what_is_tex.html




Why?From http://www.ctan.org/what_is_tex.html

Output Quality

It has the best output.

It knows typesetting.

Superior Engineering

It’s fast.

It’s stable.

It’s not rigid (extensible).

Plain text input.

Many output types.

Freedom

It’s free.

It runs anywhere.

Popularity

It’s the standard (in

academia and science).




Where Would I Want to Use LATEX?

Documents with complex structures

Lots of mathematics (or other speciVc needs)

When publishers require them

Batch processing

Back-end of other applications



How Do I Use It?

1 Write a plain text LATEX Vle (.tex)

2 Run it through pdflatex or xelatex → PDF output

(or latex + dvips + ps2pdf for DVI + PS + PDF)

3 Run bibtex and/or makeindex to process bibliographies, indices

4 Re-run pdflatex to resolve references and pointers

Where Do I Get It?

Windows MiKTEX, TEXLive

Un*x, GNU/Linux TEXLive

Mac OS X MacTEX (based on TEXLive)

Installation Use your OS’ package manager

(or download manually)

Editors vi, emacs, Texmaker, TeXworks, . . .

LATEX Packages Use MiKTEX or TEXLive’s package manager

Documentation (TEXLive) $ texdoc <package name>

(MiKTEX) $ mthelp <package name>



Easy to Learn, Hard to Master

Customising may not be straightforward (vs word processors)

Intentionally so: Style guidelines should be followed strictly

Publisher/organisation provides document class or style VlesUse these to take care of formatting and styling, focus on the content

Fair enough.

But where do I learn all the stuU the TEXnicians and TEXperts do?

(There is a learning curve)



Getting Help

Many free tutorials and e-books on the Web (beware of obsolete ones!)

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION: SAMPLES OF BASIC LATEX

COMMANDS

Hello and welcome, fellow Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) research postgrad! The

usmthesis package and template files were written in the hope that they may help

you prepare your research thesis using LATEX, based on the Institut Pengajian Siswazah

(IPS) requirements (IPS, 2007). Please note that this version is based on the new

guidelines, in force 17 Dec 2007 onwards. (Song, Cai, Lyu and Cai, 2002)

LATEX is powerful and produces beautiful documents. However, there is definitely

a learning curve to it – one that is worth the effort. If you find any errors in these

templates or documents, or have any suggestions or feedback, do e-mail me about it

([email protected]). The author cannot always guarantee prompt response, how-

ever. ©

MiKTEX, my recommended LATEX distribution for Windows, is available on the

CSPC’07 CD. A step-by-step installation walkthrough is available at (Lim, 2009).

1.1 Some Simple Command Usages

There are plenty of free LATEX tutorials online, some of which are listed in the bibli-

ographies or available at http://e-office.cs.usm.my. This sample thesis includes some

examples to do some common tasks. We start with some examples for lists (both bul-

USM’S R&D SUSTAINABILITY

To attain the level of excellence as aresearch university (RU), USM in re-cent years has seriously engaged her-self in various efforts to formulateand chart her future research anddevelopment (R&D) directions. Thepinnacle of these efforts was trans-lated into a 2 year strategic plan “USM

Research-Intensive University 2007–2009”.

One of the crucial input elements

for attaining and subsequently sus-taining RU status is the creationof highly conducive research envi-ronment and infrastructure. Gridcomputing is an example of suchinfrastructure, aiming at providingexcellent research facilities by en-suring good computational horse-power to support high impact do-mains in the bio-sciences, physicalsciences, information and communi-cation technology (ICT), Environmentsciences, Education, Arts and others.

Grid computing is by its na-ture highly distributed geographically,consists of highly specialised equip-ment (storage, grid engines and man-agement tools), as well as expensive.It is as such an ideal example of com-mon, core computational resourcesto be created and pooled among as-piring researchers who require highperformance resources.

Equally important, USM needs a fo-cused, holistic and dedicated effort

interested to improve its design toa multilingual setting, where morecomplicated cross-lingual phenomenawill have to be considered. We alsohope to improve the agent commu-nication mechanisms to reduce la-tency. Apart from creating moreagents that implement different learn-ing algorithms and heuristics, we arealso planning agents responsible forother NLP tasks such as deep parsing,detecting named entities, etc. In otherwords, we hope to have agents of var-ious responsibilities so that they canbe ‘mixed-and-matched’ to constructnew NLP applications, such as thosementioned in the introduction.

On the performance issues, wemay attempt several solutions for theSLB bottleneck problem mentionedearlier:

• hardware (RAM) upgrades,• further optimisation of PostgreSQL

server settings,• database connection pooling,• load balancing,• parallelising queries.

Low-Cost Construction of aMultilingual Lexicon from Bilingual Lists

Introduction

Bilingual MRDs are good resources for building

multilingual lexicons, but heterogeneous structures

Lowest common denominator: list of

source language item→ target language item(s)

Proposal: Multilingual lexicon construction using only

simple bilingual lists

One-time Inverse Consultation [1]

Generates a bilingual lexicon for new language pair

from existing bilingual lists

JP–EN, EN–MS, MS–EN lexicons ⇒ JP–MS

Japanese English Malay

∴p↔ ‘tera’ is most likely valid

Merging Translation Triples into Sets

(Example: Malay–English–Chinese)

For each ‘head’ language LI, discard triples with score

triples containing that LI

Discussion and Conclusion

Low thresholds (α, β): more coverage; low precision

High thresholds: good precision; low coverage

α = 0.6, β = 0.2 gives good trade-oU between

coverage, precision and recall

Results are encouraging for such simple input data!

Future plan: Integrate lexicon

into an MT system

Discussion

Low thresholds (α, β): more coverage; low precision High thresholds: good precision; low coverage α ≈ 0.6, β ≈ 0.2 gives good trade-o between coverage,

precision and recall Results are encouraging for such simple input data!

Especially suitable for under-resourced language pairs Future plan: Integrate multilingual lexicon into anMT

system withWSD and user interaction features

Related Work

Many multilingual lexicon projects [2, 3]) aligned withPrinceton WordNet [4]⊳ Overly ne sense distinctions in Princeton WordNet

Pan Lexicon [5]: compute context vectors of words frommonolingual corpora of dierent languages, thengrouping into translation sets by matching contextvectors via bilingual lexicons⊳ Sense distinctions derived from corpus evidence⊳ Produces many translation sets that contain

semantically related but not synonymous words,e.g. ‘shoot’ and ‘bullet’ (lower precision)

⊳ 44% precision based on evaluators’ opinions (75% ifinter-evaluator agreement is not required)

⊳ Does not handle multi-word expressions Markó, Schulz and Hahn [6] use cognate mappings to

derive new translation pairs, validate by processingparallel corpora (medical domain)⊳ Complex terms indexed on the level of sub-words

e.g. ‘pseudo⊕hypo⊕para⊕thyroid⊕ism’⊳ 46% accuracy for each language pair⊳ Requires large aligned thesaurus corpora (easier to

acquire for specialised domains?)⊳ Cognate-based approach not applicable for language

pairs that are not closely related Lafourcade [7]: compute contextual vectors for

translation pairs based on gloss text and associated classlabels from semantic hierarchy; compare vectors fromdierent bilingual lexicons to detect synonymy⊳ Resource requirements not available for all language

pairs, costly task of assigning class labels
