Abstract This paper will be an investigation into a hybrid computer simulation to recognize four (A, E, I, O) spoken vowels. The hybrid simulation makes available two modes of operation to achieve the recognition process. A learning mode will provide the algorithms required to categorize each vowel into parameters that can later be accessed by the second or recognition mode. The recognition mode takes the input vowel sound and correlates the recognition mode parameters against the learning mode...

Abstract The goal of this research is to evaluate the usefulness of enhanced named entity recognition for text mining. Text mining is a subpart of data mining. It is the application of data mining techniques to texts in natural language such as English. The data for this project consists news [sic] articles and article titles extracted from the Web. Enhanced name-entity recognition is used to add additional information to the text. Named entities in the text are...
