This paper proposes an elaboration of the Generative Lexicon (GL) in Pustejovsky (1995) based on a survey of BCCWJ (2009). I manually classified the Japanese NP1-no NP2 “NP1’s NP2” construction in accordance with semantic relations between the two nominals. The result indicates the need for the expansion of GL for computing the meaning of the NP1no NP2 construction by incorporating referential ...

Decline in episodic memory, the encoding and retrieval of autobiographical events, is a hallmark of normal cognitive aging. Although the primary causes of this decline remain elusive, event-related brain potential (ERP) studies have contributed to an understanding of age-related episodic memory failure. These data reveal that, although the retrieval-based episodic memory (EM) effect does not di...

When trying to solve interoperability problems between enterprises, the semantic issues are important. To date, they are more and more focused on ontology. This paper presents how to use ontology in the PBMEI method, aimed at solving enterprise interoperability problems in modelling environment. During the elaboration of PBMEI, the necessary ontology information is explicitly specified. Because...

This essay discusses the use of "Fascism" word in Raduan Nassar's novel A Cup Rage. It addresses elasticity given to term, via George Orwell (2017), as well links that such a concept has with, for instance, Liberalism and Marxism, light Atílio Boron (2003). Once this is done, focuses on term novel, namely: how it distances itself from sophisticated elaboration swarms unusual associations Nassar...

This paper describes Mo’K, a configurable workbench that supports the development of conceptual clustering methods for ontology building. Mo’K is intended to assist ontology developers in the exploratory process of defining the most suitable learning methods for a given task. To do so, it provides facilities for evaluation, comparison, characterization and elaboration of conceptual clustering m...

Nowadays, users are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information in several application domains. Recommender systems fight such an overload by selecting the products which are more appealing to each user, according to his personal preferences or needs. Current personalization techniques are based on more or less sophisticated syntactic methods which miss a lot of knowledge during the elabor...

A formalism is elaboration tolerant to the extent that it is convenient to modify a set of facts expressed in the formalism to take into account new phenomena or changed circumstances. Representations of information in natural language have good elaboration tolerance when used with human background knowledge. Human-level AI will require representations with much more elaboration tolerance than ...

This study investigates how people conduct elaboration and develops confidence in healthcare and travel knowledge in Yahoo! Kimo Knowledge+, the most popular online question-answering community in Taiwan. A context analysis based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model shows that people seeking for healthcare knowledge rely on both central route and peripheral route cues to choose best knowledge (a...
