A nonlinear derivative
2014
International audience; A nonlinear derivative is directly defined in the discrete domain. This derivative is motivated by the asymmetry of pattern in discrete signal as step or edge in 2D signal. Thanks to the special definition (in the discrete domain) of this derivative, pattern can be detected in a univocal way. This derivative is the only one able to perfectly detect and localize ideal edges in image. Beside this fundamental benefit, the derivative has the nice property to reduce noise. Ap- plications to edge detection, noise reduction and noise estimation are described and their performances are studied.
A novel approach for image sweeping functions using approximating scheme
2009
International audience; Using Kolmogorov's superposition theorem, complex N-dimensional signal can be expressed by simpler 1D functions. Precisely, Kolmogorov has demonstrated that any multivariate function can be decomposed into sums and compositions of monovariate functions, that are called inner and external functions. We present one of the most recent method of monovariate functions construction. The algorithm proposed by Igelnik approximates the monovariate functions. Different layers are constructed and superposed. A layer is constituted by a couple of internal and external functions, that realizes an approximation of the multivariate function with a given precision, which corresponds…
Semantic Measures: A State of the Art
2014
Significant advances in terms of syntactic, structural and schematic heterogeneity have been achieved by adopting conventions and standards. The IT community is now trying to solve the problem of semantic heterogeneity (particularly in the Semantic Web field). To reach this objective, it is necessary to enable machines to understand the semantics of terms. Semantics, as opposed to syntax, defines the mental representation of concepts corresponding to the symbols used in texts or images. When a person reads a text, he uses a semantization process which enables him to associate an interpretation to each sign identified. This operation uses a number of underlying processes such as measuring se…
Formalizing Semantic of Natural Language through Conceptualization from Existence
2011
International audience; We propose an outline of an approach to formalize semantic from conceptualization for both natural language (NL) and logic expression mechanisms. This goes beyond the level of discussions at conceptual level which has to either end in conscious/unconscious relativity of understanding or subjective enforcement in the form of definitions instead of expected objective semantic. This approach supports to view from a pure mathematical perspective, and explore and locate the fundamental problems. The semantic formalization mechanism realizes the integration of problem description and the solution expression at absolute semantic level. So a problem describing process is equ…
Temporal Semantic Centrality for the Analysis of Communication Networks
2012
National audience; De nos jours, la compréhension des communautés en ligne devient un enjeu majeur du Web. Dans cet article nous proposons une nouvelle mesure, la Probabilité de Propagation Sémantique (SPP), qui caractérise la capacité de l'utilisateur à propager un concept sémantique à d'autres utilisateurs, d'une manière rapide et ciblée. La sémantique des messages est analysée selon une ontologie donnée. Nous utilisons cette mesure pour obtenir la Centralité Sémantique Temporelle (TSC) d'un utilisateur dans une communauté. Nous proposons et évaluons une expérimentation de cette mesure, en utilisant une ontologie et des données réelles issues du Web.
COBieOWL, an OWL ontology based on COBie standard
2015
International audience; Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards have been recognized by construction and political actors as a highly promising tool for resolving issues of data dematerialization, notably in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management. Among worldwide-adopted BIM standards, there is COBie. COBie’s goals are to dematerialize building data and to enhance building information interoperability. Nevertheless, COBie data is available in static formats such as STEP or spreadsheet templates. Such formats lack logical formalisms and semantic features provided by languages such as OWL. Because of this, in this paper, we propose a method for sem…
Temporal Logic To Query Semantic Graphs Using The Model Checking Method
2012
International audience; Semantic interoperability problems have found their solutions due to the use of languages and techniques from the Semantic Web. The proliferations of ontologies and meta-information have improved the understanding of information and the relevance of search engine responses. However, the construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation or modeling, and scalability remains a major problem. The processing of large semantic graphs is a limit to the use of semantics in current information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border of two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. This line of rese…

On Topological Structure of Web Services Networks for Composition. In Int. Journal of Web Engineering and Technology
2013
In order to deal efficiently with the exponential growth of the Web services landscape in composition life cycle activities, it is necessary to have a clear view of its main features. As for many situations where there is a lot of interacting entities, the complex networks paradigm is an appropriate approach to analyze the interactions between the multitudes of Web services. In this paper, we present and investigate the main interactions between semantic Web services models from the complex network perspective. Results show that both parameter and operation networks exhibit the main characteristics of typical real-world complex networks such as the "small-world" property and an inhomogeneou…
OntoVersionGraph : a change management methodology dedicated to formal ontologies and their user views in a collaborative context
2014
The world changes over time, impacting the knowledge of every subdomain it contains. Therefore systems describing the knowledge of a certain domain should be able to consider changes occurred to keep its knowledge representation up-to-date. Formal ontologies are one of them: they explicitly and formally represent the knowledge of a domain in all its forms and modes of existence. Collaboratively developed, a formal ontology allows the domain users to understand each other by sharing the same terminology despite the different assumptions they have on the domain conceptualization. However, due to its completeness, the complexity of its conceptualization can sometimes make the domain knowledge …
