Semantic-based Estimation of Term Informativeness
The idea that some words carry more semantic content than others, has led to the notion of term specificity, or informativeness. Computational estimation of this quantity is important for various applications such as information retrieval. We propose a new method of computing term specificity, based on modeling the rate of learning of word meaning in Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). We analyze t...
متن کاملSemantic Classification in Category-Specific Semantic Impairments Reflected in the Typology of Bantu Noun Class Systems
Just as the search for an explanation to category specific semantic impairments is based on the belief that the functioning and biological structure of the brain is universal it has been thought that the understanding of the grouping of nouns in noun class systems hints at a universal cognitive basis, which underlies such linguistic classifications. What constitutes possible typological variati...
متن کاملInformativeness and Incentive Compatibility for Reputation Systems
Reputation systems, which rank agents based on feedback from past interactions, play a crucial role in aggregating and sharing trust information online. Reputation systems are used to find authoritative web sites and ensure socially beneficial behavior on auction sites. The main problem faced by reputation system researchers is a lack of good metrics for comparison and evaluation. This thesis d...
متن کاملSemantic Informativeness Mediates the Detection of Changes in Natural Scenes
Three experiments investigated whether the semantic informativeness of a scene region (object) influences its representation between successive views. In Experiment 1, a scene and a modified version of that scene were presented in alternation, separated by a brief retention interval. A changed object was either semantically consistent with the scene (non-informative) or inconsistent (informativ...
متن کاملCategory- and Modality-Specificity in Semantic Dementia
The experiments presented in this work are aimed at gaining a greater understanding of the semantic impairment in semantic dementia (SD) in terms of modality-specificity and category-specificity, and to consider the implications for the organisation of the semantic system. To this end, the semantic abilities of a group of twelve SD patients with varying impairment severity were examined using a...
