An ontological infrastructure for the automatic control of freight transport
2008
Currently, freight transport carried through a country or through different countries undergoes many delays due to merchandise controls. Merchandise control is only carried out at some border posts or when the authorities demand it. Such control can be an important problem since there are different laws for the same merchandise, according to the legislation of the country and even within the same country. Nowadays there are vocabularies or languages that describe concepts and structures of data related to transport, but the description is just syntactic, not semantic. Therefore the objective to be reached in this part of the research has been to develop a representation scheme of a particul…
Coordinate compounding in English and Spanish
2011
Coordinate compounding is a process which has been only sporadically considered in wordformation studies on Germanic and Romance languages. In this paper, we compare the situation in English with that in Spanish as far as formal structure and semantics are concerned. To this end, an operational definition of coordinate compounding is first provided, after which a semantic classification of coordinate compounds is developed. For each type, variants are discussed, representative examples are provided, and similarities and dissimilarities between the two languages are highlighted. We finish by raising the issues of recursiveness and productivity in coordinate compounding and we examine the pos…
Mobile agents and knowledge discovery in ubiquitous computing
2004
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a knowledge discovery strategy to be performed by mobile agents in an augmented reality (AR) scenario. AR entities are implemented by mobile agents who perform all the behaviors of cooperating entities. Among other tasks, mobile agents implement a resource discovery strategy, which is aimed at filling lacking entities with missing methods and knowledge rules. A three layer entity description model and a cooperation mechanism are discussed, which allow knowledge and methods to be shared between entities in augmented reality. Three layers host three different projection descriptions of an AR entity respectively are: (1) a semantic projection for knowle…
Extracting Features from Social Media Networks Using Semantics
2016
This paper focuses on the analysis of social media content generated by social networks (e.g. Twitter) in order to extract semantic features. By using text categorization to sort text feeds into categories of similar feeds, it has been proved to reduce the overhead that is required to retrieve these feeds and at the same time, it provides smaller pools in which further investigations can be made easier. The aim of this survey is to draw a user profile, by analysing his or her tweets. In this early stage of research, being a pre-processing phase, a dictionary based approach is considered. Moreover, the paper describes an algorithm used in analysing the text and its preliminary results. This …
Binomiālo frāžu veidi juridiskajos dokumentos
2017
Šajā Bakalaura darbā tiek izpētīts binomiālo frāžu pielietojums juridiskajos dokumentos. Ņemot vērā ka binomiālās frāzes tiek atzītas par neatņemamu un svarīgu juridiskās Angļu valodas aspektu, tuvāka šī temata izpēte tika pieņemta par cienīgu un aktuālu. Veiktā pētījuma teorētiskā daļa nodrošina teorētisko fonu attiecoties uz pētījuma jautājumiemun tēmām kā arī uz piemērotajām empīrisko metožu pētījumu analīzēm. Empīriskie pētījumi tika veikti ar primāro mērķi noskaidrot visus iespējamos binomiālo frāžu veidus balstoties uz to pielietojumu 50 dažādu žanru juridiskajos dokumentos. Šim nolūkam, komponentāla semantisko iezīmju analīze tika piemērota lai atbilstoši klasificētu binomus noteiktā…
Semantisko lauku analīze ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem
2022
Semantiskie lauki ir semantiski savienotu vārdu kopa, kas ir saistīti nozīmē. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt semantiskos laukus ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem. Tāpēc šis pētījums ir sadalīts piecās galvenajās nodaļās, lai skatītu teorētisko ietvaru un veiktu empīrisku pētījumu. Pētījumā tiek izmantota satura analīze, lai aprakstītu un analizētu ziņu rakstus par jaunuzņēmumiem, kas ir saistīts ar komponentu analīzes koncepciju. Pēc tam semantiskās attiecības semantiskajos laukos tiek analizētas. Empīriskā pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka korpusā tika identificēti dažādi semantiskie lauki. Vārds ar vienu nozīmi var veidot dažādus semantiskos laukus ar atšķirīgiem vārdiem un vārdi semantiskajā …
Towards World Philosophy and a World History of Philosophy—Karl Jaspers: His Work, Calling, and Legacy
2011
Professor Wisser’s address to students during the Summer Semester of 1995 at the University of Mainz (Germany) regarding the contributions of Karl Jaspers on world philosophy, a history of world philosophy, and the value of his thought for philosophizing in general. Discussion of the semantics of seeing, hearing, and learning and what Jaspers has to offer as regards the continuous project of Bildung as contrast to other major figures in the history of Western philosophy and theology.
Naming People Ignoring Semantics in a Patient with Left Frontal Damage
1999
Studies about proper name anomia generally assume that persons' names are harder to recall than other semantic information one knows about them and that name retrieval is not possible without biographical knowledge. We describe a patient, SB, who, after a left frontal haemorrhage, was unable to recall any biographical information about people she could name. Moreover, she had a normal score in an Object Picture Naming Test, but gave confabulatory answers in a Semantic Questionnaire involving the same items. The role of frontal function in producing this pattern of impairment is discussed, together with the possible existence of a direct route from visual perception to proper name retrieval.
Verbal definitions of familiar objects in blind children reflect their peculiar perceptual experience
2012
Background The aim of the present study was to examine to what extent the verbal definitions of familiar objects produced by blind children reflect their peculiar perceptual experience and, in consequence, differ from those produced by sighted children. Methods Ninety-six visually impaired children, aged between 6 and 14 years, and 32 age-matched sighted children had to define 10 words denoting concrete animate or inanimate familiar objects. Results The blind children evoked the tactile and auditory characteristics of objects and expressed personal perceptual experiences in their definitions. The sighted children relied on visual perception, and produced more visually oriented verbalism. In…
