Fusing syntax and semantics in knowledge fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a series of knowledge fusion operators are motivated and analyzed. They are defined in a semantic way, although syntactical facets of knowledge are taken into account. More precisely, they rely on a rank-ordering of interpretations that is based on the number of formulas that the interpretations falsify. It is briefly discussed how these operators could be refined, by talung into account various distribution policies of the falsified information among the knowledge sources, syntactical properties of formulas to be fused and forms of integrity constraints preference among literals.

Declarative Data Fusion - Syntax, Semantics, and Implementation
In today’s integrating information systems data fusion, i.e., the merging of multiple tuples about the same real-world object into a single tuple, is left to ETL tools and other specialized software. While much attention has been paid to architecture, query languages, and query execution, the final step of actually fusing data from multiple sources into a consistent and homogeneous set is often...
متن کاملReverse Engineering of Network Software Binary Codes for Identification of Syntax and Semantics of Protocol Messages
Reverse engineering of network applications especially from the security point of view is of high importance and interest. Many network applications use proprietary protocols which specifications are not publicly available. Reverse engineering of such applications could provide us with vital information to understand their embedded unknown protocols. This could facilitate many tasks including d...

متن کاملMultimodal medical image fusion based on Yager’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets
The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...
متن کاملMeaning to Learn: Bootstrapping Semantics to Infer Syntax
Context-free grammars cannot be identified in the limit from positive examples (Gold 1967), yet natural language grammars are more powerful than context-free grammars and humans learn them with remarkable ease from positive examples (Marcus 1993). Identifiability results for formal languages ignore a potentially powerful source of information available to learners of natural languages, namely, ...
