This book is about machine translation (MT) and the classic problems associated with this language technology. It examines the causes of these problems and, for linguistic, rule-based systems, attributes the cause to language's ambiguity and complexity and their interplay in logic-driven processes. For non-linguistic, data-driven systems, the book attributes translation shortcomings to the very lack of linguistics. It then proposes a demonstrable way to relieve these drawbacks in the shape of a working translation model (Logos Model) that has taken its inspiration from key assumptions about psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic function. The book suggests that this brain-based mechanism is effective precisely because it bridges both linguistically driven and data-driven methodologies. It shows how simulation of this cerebral mechanism has freed this one MT model from the all-important, classic problem of complexity when coping with the ambiguities of language. Logos Model accomplishes this by a data-driven process that does not sacrifice linguistic knowledge, but that, like the brain, integrates linguistics within a data-driven process. As a consequence, the book suggests that the brain-like mechanism embedded in this model has the potential to contribute to further advances in machine translation in all its technological instantiations.

Education is changing through improved technology and the widening access to it. This is a discussion of this increased accessibility to the Internet and how this has lead to a variety of resources being used for learning. Resource-based learning is flexible and can be used locally or globally and is an integral part of education. Case studies and examples show the benefits of using the Internet as part of resource-based learning.

What this book teaches is a new way to regard work, and a new way to go about the work we do. The book comprises scores of mostly brief reflections by saints, mystics, popes, and theologians all who tell us that work-even toilsome work-has great dignity when accomplished as a form of service to God. The reflections in this book tell us that we should look upon the work we do, even the most ordinary of acts, as something that God has given us to do. And even more extraordinary, as something God wants to do with us. Once we think of work in this way, we then need to ask ourselves "how" we work. What becomes important is not what kind of work we do, but how we do it. We must also ask ourselves is God interested in these things we do all day long? Can these very ordinary acts realoly have a spiritual aspect? Can they be a prayer? The Benedicine monks have a motto, "To work is to pray." For most of us that thought has probably never occured, that work itself could be a prayer, that what we do all day long, whether at work or in the home, is of keen interest to God, and can be pleasing to Him if done in the right spirit. Jesus is the examplar of how any work is to be done. He spent thirty years of his life doing the ordinary kinds of things we do, and, as we know, the Father took delight in Him, saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." We must remember what Scripture says, that God's "delight is to be with the children of men." This book is designed to lead the reader into a way of working that will delight the Father. To this end, a Study Guide has been designed to help the reader approach the topic in a systematic way. This Guide is currently being used profitably in parishes for group book study. Many participants have exclaimed that the book has made them feel very differently about work, even about the most trivial tasks. The Study Guide may be freely downloaded from the Logos Institute website: http: //logosinstitute.org

An agnostic scientist travels to a remote land to chase down rumors of a primitive tribe said to be wrapped in silence, silent even when they speak. How can this be? His pursuit for answers takes him up a dangerous river and ultimately to Lost Mountain. There he learns the awful secret that afflicts this tribe. When the explorer finds more than he is questing for, the story takes on far deeper significance. Setting science aside, he seeks a way to alleviate their plight. In the end, a series of mysterious events takes matters out of his hands, teaching him something far beyond the realm of natural science.

This distinctly Catholic novella comprises a set of free standing pieces that nevertheless make up a whole story. From a sundry cast of characters we see emerge an uncommonly attractive woman, Monica, in a series of corrosive affairs until, finding herself at a moral dead end, she attempts (we learn) to take her life, mercifully without success. Recovering physically, but with a still unsettled conscience, she comes to the attention of a young curate who tries to help her. This young priest has unresolved needs of his own, disclosed when he finds himself inordinately drawn to her, troubling the priest's own conscience. What happens next reveals the action of grace in the most ordinary of circumstances. This is a tale, then, of a grace that mysteriously enters into, and heals, disordered affections of the heart. Interestingly, this healing does not come about by slamming the door on human love just because it is disordered. As we see, there is a blessed lesson to be learned regarding these matters of the heart, one involving an act of holy trust. The author, Bernard Scott, is an award-winning short story writer, anthologized essayist, and published poet. His short adventure/mystery novel, Secret of Lost Mountain, was a finalist in the 2012 Tuscany Prize for Catholic Fiction. He is happily married and knows whereof he speaks.

Stories in this collection, such as HERE'S MASHED, A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAY, WITH ALL HIS HEART, along with a few others, all depict contemporary lives in conflicts of one kind or another, until something interesting happens to change things. The style is in the manner of modern minimalism, where character and behavior are depicted rather than described, more like a film or show than an account. Stories like I HEARD THEIR LAUGHTER and BRIAN'S LAW are quite different. These are longer treatments of rather inordinate lives. The first depicts the state of a math freak cooped up under the roof of an abandoned building, pondering the life he should have lived but had refused. Then something happens to redeem it. BRIAN'S LAW depicts a fourteen year old boy who thinks he is smarter than Einstein. The tale makes certain demands on the reader but is guaranteed to fascinate those interested in such things and who stick it out. It is the author's favorite work, by far. Bernard (Bud) Scott wrote these stories in between the demands of his career as an entrepreneurial computational linguist, a career depicted at http: www.logosinstitute.org/LogosStory.html. He is a published poet, anthologized essayist, and award-winning short story writer, and has published several novels, most recently, The Heart Hath Its Reasons.
