The aim of this paper is to present how a user−centred lexical representation model, based on the theory of Interpretative Semantics, can be used for detecting and interpreting metaphors in domain specific corpora. We present here several tools useful for such tasks and discussing the results of an experiment. Introduction In this paper, we present NLP (Natural Language Processing) project addr...

Measuring Technical Efficiency in Sports

Standard economic production theory is the basis for measuring technical efficiency in sports. Using programming or regression models, efficiency is defined as the distance of a given team observation from the technology. In this paper, we show that the standard measures of efficiency using deterministic models are biased downward due to serial correlation with respect to the efficiency measure...
