Discovering the Senses of an Ambiguous Word by Clustering its Local Contexts

2005

As has been shown recently, it is possible to automatically discover the senses of an ambiguous word by statistically analyzing its contextual behavior in a large text corpus. However, this kind of research is still at an early stage. The results need to be improved and there is considerable disagreement on methodological issues. For example, although most researchers use clustering approaches for word sense induction, it is not clear what statistical features the clustering should be based on. Whereas so far most researchers cluster global co-occurrence vectors that reflect the overall behavior of a word in a corpus, in this paper we argue that it is more appropriate to use local context v…

A Study on the Usage of Smartphone Apps in Fire Scenarios - Comparison between GDACSmobile and SmartRescue Apps

2015

In this paper, we present a thorough overview of the two recently developed applications in the field of emergency management. The applications titled GDACSmobile and SmartRescue are using mobile app and smartphone sensors as the main functionality respectively. Furthermore, we argue the differences and similarities of both applications and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, a critical scenario for fire emergency in a music festival is designed and the applicability of the features of each application in supporting the emergency management procedure is discussed. It is also argued how the aforementioned applications can support each other during emergencies and what the pote…

Different regulatory models of transfer of industrial property rights in the Baltic States: A plea for harmonized approach

2016

AbstractThe authors explore different models of transfer of industrial property on a comparative basis. The article demonstrates that these models differ on a country level and several models may be in use in one legal system. The authors analyze strengths and weaknesses and legal implications of these models in the three Baltic States both at the regulatory level and at the practical level through case studies. The authors conclude that would be preferable to use the model under which the register is vested with negative publicity and the transfer of ownership of industrial property is not made dependent on its recordation.

Systematic Literature Reviews and Meta-Analyses

2009
