Taking the Best of Both Worlds: Why Lakoff and Chomsky can both benefit Information Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
I have spent the last few years of my life presenting papers on the ways in which cognitive science in general and linguistics in particular can inform research in Information Systems (IS). The works originate firmly in the “Chomskian”1 tradition of linguistics, contrary to the general theme of the workshop. But do we really need to take sides in the generative vs. cognitive linguistics debate? I suggest that even though one might prefer a view on theoretical grounds, both camps have valuable contributions to some areas of IS.

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...
