From key words to key semantic domains

Key Words:

SUMMARY Diagnostic residual and partial residual plots are proposed to identify nonlinearity in covariates for generalized linear models. It is shown that these plots are complement each other in the detection of nonlinearity. In addition, a transformed additive model which allows the resulting residual and partial residual plots to be obtained through the standard least squares approach is pro...

Extraction of Key Words from News Stories

In this work, we consider the task of extracting key-words such as key-players, key-locations, key-nouns and key-verbs from news stories. We cast this problem as a classification problem wherein we assign appropriate labels to each word in a news story. We considered statistical models such as naïve Bayes model, hidden Markov model and maximum entropy model in our work. We have also experimente...

Key words: vegetarianism, diabetes mellitus

Vegetarianism is an old classic eating behavior that leads to lessening of several health risk factors. Vegetarian diet is reported to improve control of blood glucose concentration, to lower insulin requirement and to aid in weight control in diabetic patients. However, there is no evidence for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus to be significantly lower in vegetarians than in non-vegetarians...

Key Words, Culture and Cognition

How much does language influence how we think? How far are the categories of our language contingent and culture-specific? Few questions are of greater significance to the social sciences. In this paper we attempt to demonstrate that linguistic semantics can address these questions with rigour and precision, by analysing some examples of cultural 'key words' in several languages. We want to arg...
