Construction of an Objective Hierarchy of Abstract Concepts via Directional Similarity

چکیده
The method of organization of word meanings is a crucial issue with lexical databases. Our purpose in this research is to extract word hierarchies from corpora automatically. Our initial task to this end is to determine adjective hyperonyms. In order to find adjective hyperonyms, we utilize abstract nouns. We constructed linguistic data by extracting semantic relations between abstract nouns and adjectives from corpus data and classifying abstract nouns based on adjective similarity using a self-organizing semantic map, which is a neural network model (Kohonen 1995). In this paper we describe how to hierarchically organize abstract nouns (adjective hyperonyms) in a semantic map mainly using CSM. We compare three hierarchical organizations of abstract nouns, according to CSM, frequency (Tf.CSM) and an alternative similarity measure based on coefficient overlap, to estimate hyperonym relations between words.

Complete Closest-Target Based Directional FDH Measures of Efficiency in DEA
In this paper, we aim to overcome three major shortcomings of the FDH (Free Disposal Hull) directional distance function through developing two new, named Linear and Fractional CDFDH, complete FDH measures of efficiency. To accomplish this, we integrate the concepts of similarity and FDH directional distance function. We prove that the proposed measures are translation invariant and unit invari...

متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملDivine Vision: Islamic Arts and Horizontal Thought
Islamic arts are often identified by their abstract compositions based on geometric principles and spiritual concepts. Using artworks from different eras, this paper highlights the presence of a particular model of thought in Islamic arts in which the hierarchy of perspectival vision is abolished. The main argument is based on the ability of some artworks to be looked at from any angle while ma...
متن کاملCombinaison d'information visuelle, conceptuelle, et contextuelle pour la construction automatique de hierarchies semantiques adaptees a l'annotation d'images
This paper proposes a new methodology to automatically build semantic hierarchies suitable for image annotation and classification. The building of the hierarchy is based on a new measure of semantic similarity. The proposed measure incorporates several sources of information : visual, conceptual and contextual as we defined in this paper. The aim is to provide a measure that best represents im...
