Exploring semantic groups through visual approaches

Exploring semantic groups through visual approaches

Objectives. We investigate several visual approaches for exploring semantic groups, a grouping of semantic types from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) semantic network. We are particularly interested in the semantic coherence of the groups, and we use the semantic relationships as important indicators of that coherence. Methods. First, we create a radial representation of the number o...

AudioSavant: Exploring Musical Structure Through Visual Interaction

In music education, inexperienced students have great difficulty making a connection between the sounds they are hearing and the actions taken to produce those sounds. This is the primary hurdle that must be overcome before these students can move on to more advanced concepts such as music notation, creation, and composition. To this end, we introduce AudioSavant, a visualization tool that allo...

Exploring Semantic Web Modeling Approaches for Web Application Design

In this paper we argue the need for flexible models capable of representing semi-structured data processed in Web applications. We also give the requirements for query languages that allow the specification of navigational aspects of Web applications according to the OOHDM approach, and show how these can be met by RQL. We give additional uses of this query language, as applied to such models, ...

The Effect of Using Visual Aids, Semantic Elaboration, and Visual Aids plus Semantic Elaboration on Iranian Learners' Vocabulary Learning

This study investigated the effect of using visual aids, semantic elaboration, and visual aids plus semantic elaboration on the Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary learning. To conduct the study, the researchers assigned 49 elementary learners to three homogeneous groups according to their proficiency level. Then, a pre-test of Paribakht and Wesche's Vocabulary Knowledge Scale was given to each gr...
