A Novel User Interface for Knowledge Base Browsing
2019
Abstract Intuitive user interfaces have been of great concern for GUI developers. The current research, who deals with their designing, faces the term intuitive constantly. The main question is how can the Interface be intuitive? For the moment, the researchers try to provide a very intuitive generic user interface that can be used in a variety of applications. In this paper we provide a solution that can model any applied ontology into a honeycomb menu. The hexagonal shape of the honeycomb has attracted the attention of humans for centuries. As a relevant consequence, the final user can browse any knowledge base very easily with the aid of this interface. Another useful feature is that pro…
Icone gay: tra processi di normalizzazione e di resistenza. Ricostruire la semantica degli hashtag
2018
The mediatization of emotions emerges as an affordance of social media, the study of which involves paying attention to digital practices and the formation of the sense of public affection, of connected audiences expressing their participation through expressions of sentiment. This happens both for the great events and for the daily demonstrations of support or of its negation. Here we choose to analyze the tweets in which the fans express their opinions on the participation in the reality shows of their “icons”: Vladimir Luxuria and Cristiano Malgioglio. To reconstruct the hashtag semantics we use: the NodeXL software for network analysis and Iramuteq for the extraction of lexical worlds.
The hidden side of adverbs
2018
This paper will address the predicative nature of manner adverb(ial)s and of three types of sentence adverbs (subject-oriented, modal, and evaluative) in Italian. Predication often becomes overt by means of morphological correlates. Is it possible to find any such evidence with invariable adverbs? To unveil their predicative nature, a procedure will be suggested in which two sentences, one with a -mente adverb, the other with its cognate adjective (a) share the content morphemes (identity of the signifiant) and (b) entail each other (identity of the signifié as regards semantic roles). A number of such pairs will be discussed, examples of which include: Intelligentemente, Leo intervenne ‘Cl…
A Geometric Approach to Automatic Description of Iconic Scenes
2005
It is proposed a step towards the automatic description of scenes with a geometric approach. The scenes considered are composed by a set of elements that can be geometric forms or iconic representation of objects. Every icon is characterized by a set of attributes like shape, colour, position, orientation. Each scene is related to a set of sentences describing its content. The proposed approach builds a data driven vector semantic space where the scenes and the sentences are mapped. Sentences and scene with the same meaning are mapped in near vectors and distance criteria allow retrieving semantic relations.
Convergence of Web 2.0 and Semantic Web: A Semantic Tagging and Searching System for Creating and Searching Blogs
2007
The work presented in this paper aims to combine Latent Semantic Analysis methodology, common sense and traditional knowledge representation in order to improve the dialogue capabilities of a conversational agent. In our approach the agent brain is characterized by two areas: a "rational area", composed by a structured, rule-based knowledge base, and an "associative area", obtained through a data- driven semantic space. Concepts are mapped in this space and their mutual geometric distance is related to their conceptual similarity. The geometric distance between concepts implicitly defines a sub-symbolic relationship net, which can be seen as a new "sub- symbolic semantic layer" automaticall…

2014
Anotācija Promocijas darbs „Evidencialitātes izteikšanas līdzekļi latviešu valodā” uzskatāms par pirmo pētījumu, kas par galveno analīzes objektu izvirza evidencialitāti un tās izpausmi latviešu valodā. Evidencialitāte ir semantiska kategorija, kuras galvenā funkcija ir norāde uz informācijas ieguves avotu. Darba mērķis – analizēt evidencialitāti kā semantisku kategoriju, balstoties latviešu valodas materiālā. Promocijas darba teorētiskajā daļā aplūkota evidencialitātes jēdziena izpratne valodniecībā un analīzes iespējas, tās vēsturiskie aizsākumi un attīstība līdz mūsdienām, tipoloģija, tiešas un netiešas informācijas šķīrums un ar to saistītā problemātika, epistēmiskās modalitātes un evid…
Joint Drafting of Legal Provisions in Multilingual Systems: an Analysis of the Swiss COVID-19 Regulations from a Legal Linguistic and Translational P…
2020
International audience; Legal language is known for its various technicalities and subtleties that often insulate legal translation from other specialized fields. In addition to the mere linguistic transfer of the text, along with the lexical, syntactical and pragmatic features specifically inherent in a Language for Legal Purpose (cf. Cao 2007), a comparison of two different legal systems becomes imperative in most cases (cf. Sandrini 1999). Even in light of the current pandemic that has forced governments to quickly lay down measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus, fundamental legal principles continue to apply.One might argue that a rapidly spreading virus can affect legisla…
Frame-Semantics meets Multilingual Legal Terminology. Theoretical Principles Based on a German-French Case Study
2021
International audience; Terminology aims primarily at elaborating standardized notions for the various complex concepts within specialized fields, intending to separate clearly defined technical terms from general lexical units that are used in every-day situations, with yet a wide range of vocabulary, that is specialized to some extent but cannot be delimited by terminological standards, emerging in between (ten Hacken 2010, 2015). For legal experts, for instance, the elaboration of precisely determined legal terms contributes to an overall specific understanding of legal concepts regardless of the possible ambiguities the same term may have in a general setting. At the same time, a variet…
Rec. a Claude Moussy (dir.), Espace et temps en latin, Paris-Sorbonne, PUPS 2011, pp. 248.
2014
Il volume raccoglie dei contributi che hanno come comune denominatore le categorie semantiche dello spazio e del tempo rilevate da termini che permettono di costruire l'oggetto di un sapere attraverso la descrizione degli spostamenti semantici o delle contaminazioni e interferenze fra i due concetti.
Letter-case information and the identification of brand names.
2014
A central tenet of most current models of visual-word recognition is that lexical units are activated on the basis of case-invariant abstract letter representations. Here, we examined this assumption by using a unique type of words: brand names. The rationale of the experiments is that brand names are archetypically printed either in lowercase (e.g., adidas) or uppercase (e.g., IKEA). This allows us to present the brand names in their standard or non-standard case configuration (e.g., adidas, IKEA vs. ADIDAS, ikea, respectively). We conducted two experiments with a brand-decision task (‘is it a brand name?’): a single-presentation experiment and a masked priming experiment. Results in the s…
