Towards a natural language-based interface for querying hospital data
2018
There is a growing necessity in various domains for non-programmers to be able to retrieve information gathered about the operation of the organization and stored in its databases. This information could hugely benefit the decision making process of the managers of the institution, but it is not often exploited due to the complexity of extracting the information from the existing data. In this paper we sketch a way how that information could be managed by the domain experts themselves by the means of a natural language-based query language that works upon data stored in the ontology. Our experiments show that the proposed approach is indeed easy-to-use by our target end-users - managers and…
Girls strike back : the politics of parody in an indigenous TV comedy
2016
The diversification of the media has opened up new spaces for performances that seek not only to evoke laughter but also to voice social critique. One example of this development is the TV comedy show Märät säpikkäät/Njuoska bittut, created by two young women belonging to the indigenous Sámi people living in Finland. This paper focuses on one particularly critical sketch in the show: a counter-parody of a popular parody of the Sámi presented by two Finnish male comedians. The original sketch was a parody of ethnicity. As they strike back, however, the female presenters consciously foreground the categories of gender and class, thereby introducing a completely new figure: a white, urban, und…
Does relevance matter to data mining research?
2008
Data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery are intelligent tools that help to accumulate and process data and make use of it. We review several existing frameworks for DM research that originate from different paradigms. These DM frameworks mainly address various DM algorithms for the different steps of the DM process. Recent research has shown that many real-world problems require integration of several DM algorithms from different paradigms in order to produce a better solution elevating the importance of practice-oriented aspects also in DM research. In this chapter we strongly emphasize that DM research should also take into account the relevance of research, not only the rigor of it. Und…
Corpus-driven insights into the discourse of women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
2018
Despite its ubiquity, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is still under-researched from a Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) perspective. Thus, this paper investigates the discourse of women survivors of IPV focusing on a corpus-driven examination of the data. This is done after applying the text-analysis software tool LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) to a 120,000-word corpus collected from an anonymised, public, online forum available to IPV survivors. I contrast a plethora of linguistic phenomena in three online communities embedded within this forum (‘Is it Abuse?’, ‘Getting out’ and ‘Life after abuse’) in the attempt to sketch out how the discursive output varies across these three s…
La traducción de la pedagogía reformista inglesa del siglo XIX en Estados Unidos : La educación intelectual, moral y física (1890) de Juan García Pur…
2019
Este estudio aborda la traducción española La educación intelectual, moral y física (1890) que Juan García Purón vertió a partir de Education: Intellectual, Moral, and Physical (1860) de Herbert Spencer ambas publicadas en Appleton. Adoptando el modelo de análisis acerca de la historia de la traducción de Lépinette (1997) así como el acercamiento basado en las normas de Toury (1995), primero se lleva a cabo la descripción de ambos textos (semblanza del traductor, paratextos y contexto editorial) para determinar las normas inicial y preliminares. Asimismo, se analizan las normas operacionales que incluyen las matriciales (segmentación, adiciones y omisiones) y las lingüístico-textuales (lati…
The Hermeneutics of Texts
2002
The second canon is the canon of the whole and the parts and implies the hermeneutical circle between the whole and the parts: understanding the whole presupposes understanding the parts and vice versa. The task of this essay is not to solve the methodological difficulties of the practical application of the canon to texts and their contexts. Such a solution would require a complicated and lengthy investigation of the different aspects of the application of the canon to the methodology of philological text interpretation and historical research concerning the original contexts of texts. A brief sketch of one simple aspect of the application of the second canon will be given in the last sect…
La alegoría en Baudelaire
2020
Interpreto Les fleurs du mal de Baudelaire a partir principalmente de los conceptos ofrecidos por la teoría del arte de Adorno, en un diálogo que busca la coherencia hermenéutica del poeta con las aportaciones para su comprensión de Benjamin, Jauss y Gadamer. Con el horizonte puesto en la relación entre lo artístico y el saber, distingo cuatro constelaciones de sentido en los poemas baudelairianos: la construcción alegórica de la realidad, el poeta autointerpretado como arquitecto, la poética del recuerdo y el spleen, desde cuyos marcos interpretativos esbozo materiales para una posible historia de la belleza en la modernidad. I interpret Les fleurs du mal de Baudelaire mainly from the conc…
Sherlock Holmes Is Not Out There : Some Ideas for An Anti-Exoticist Account of Fictional Characters
2019
Abstract: Many philosophers include fictional objects like Sherlock Holmes in their ontological inventory. Yet, if Sherlock Holmes is part of reality, then he must be an «exotic» entity: either non-concrete or non-actual or non-existent. In this paper, I will assume that whatever there is (in reality) is concrete, actual, and existent. Accordingly, I will sketch a way to get rid of fictional entities, based on Sellars' metalinguistic strategy for nominalism. Roughly speaking, the main result can be stated as follows: when we talk about Sherlock Holmes, we are actually talking about Sherlock Holmes depictions. Keywords : Fiction, Nominalism, Actualism.
A Toolbox of Phenomenological Methods
2009
In addition to a large number of misrepresentations of phenomenology,1 one can see an increasing interest in phenomenology among cognitive scientists and analytic philosophers. It is the method of phenomenology from which one expects to shed some light on the problem of consciousness. How does this approach work? What are the specific tools of phenomenology? Explanations as well as critical discussions of phenomenological methods are scattered across the literature. Moreover, the sometimes misleading or impenetrable terminology of classical phenomenology blocks easy understanding. The language of phenomenology may be an important reason why the working cognitive scientist who may be ready t…
The Role of Synthetic A Priori Propositions in the Development of Kant’s Account of Practical Autonomy: A Critique of Watkins’ Reading of Kant’s Prol…
2021
AbstractI draw attention to a 12-page Vorarbeit to Kant’s Prolegomena from the so-called Scheffner-Nachlaß and argue that the parallel Kant draws there between the possibility of theoretical and practical synthetic a priori propositions provides important insight into the development of his account of practical autonomy in the Groundwork. Based on a brief sketch of the role synthetic a priori propositions play in the development of Kant’s critical philosophy, I conclude that for Kant the objective validity of any science depends on the objective validity of a number of synthetic a priori propositions.
