Modeling the dynamics of domain specific terminology in diachronic corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
In terminology work, natural language processing, and digital humanities, several studies address the analysis of variations in context and meaning of terms in order to detect semantic change and the evolution of terms. We distinguish three different approaches to describe contextual variations: methods based on the analysis of patterns and linguistic clues, methods exploring the latent semantic space of single words, and methods for the analysis of topic membership. The paper presents the notion of context volatility as a new measure for detecting semantic change and applies it to key term extraction in a political science case study. The measure quantifies the dynamics of a term’s contextual variation within a diachronic corpus to identify periods of time that are characterised by intense controversial debates or substantial semantic transformations.

Detection of Domain Specific Terminology Using Corpora Comparison
Identifying terms in specialized corpora is a central task in terminological work (compilation of domain-specific dictionaries), but is labour-intensive, especially when the corpora are voluminous which is often the case nowadays. For the past decade, terminologists and specialized lexicographers have been able to rely on term-extraction tools to assist them in the selection of terms. However, ...

Microtubule Affinity-Regulating Kinase 2 (MARK2) protein has a substantial role in regulation of vital cellular processes like induction of polarity, regulation of cell junctions, cytoskeleton structure and cell differentiation. The abnormal function of this protein has been associated with a number of pathological conditions like Alzheimer disease, autism, several carcinomas and development of...
متن کاملEstimation of the Domain of Attraction of Free Tumor Equilibrium Point for Perturbed Tumor Immunotherapy Model
In this paper, we are going to estimate the domain of attraction of tumor-free equilibrium points in a perturbed cancer tumor model describing the tumor-immune system competition dynamics. The proposed method is based on an optimization problem solution for a chosen Lyapunov function that can be casted in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities constraint and Taylor expansion of nonlinear terms. We...
متن کاملIntegrating Query Performance Prediction in Term Scoring for Diachronic Thesaurus
A diachronic thesaurus is a lexical resource that aims to map between modern terms and their semantically related terms in earlier periods. In this paper, we investigate the task of collecting a list of relevant modern target terms for a domain-specific diachronic thesaurus. We propose a supervised learning scheme, which integrates features from two closely related fields: Terminology Extractio...
متن کاملMolecular Docking Based on Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics and Atoms in Molecules Studies to Identify the Potential Human Epidermal Receptor 2 Intracellular Domain Inhibitors
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family having tyrosine kinase activity. Overexpression of HER2 usually causes malignant transformation of cells and is responsible for the breast cancer. In this work, the virtual screening, molecular docking, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics methods were employed to study protein–ligand ...
