A new approach to classification is presented based on COBWEB, an unsupervised conceptual clustering algorithm. The modifications proposed improved the classification accuracy by 2.32% and up to 7.25% in the Period Disambiguation system that was built in order to test the efficiency of the approach. The system can be trained across different domains and languages. It has been tested on the Brow...

This paper provides an introduction to the content and concepts of the World Health Organization's new International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (2001) and discusses its potential applications in rehabilitation services and research. Great interest has been expressed in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health by its potential users and the...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for supervised classification of linguistic metaphors in an open domain text using Conditional Random Fields (CRF). We analyze CRF based classification model for metaphor detection using syntactic, conceptual, affective, and word embeddings based features which are extracted from MRC Psycholinguistic Database (MRCPD) and WordNet-Affect. We use word emb...

This paper presents the suite of principles, designs criteria and verification process used in the knowledge conceptualization process of a consensuated domain ontology in the domain of chemicals. To achieve agreement between different development teams we propose the use of a common and shared conceptual model as starting point. To capture domain knowledge of a given domain and organize it in ...

This paper presents an outline of a classification of metaphor use in text that can aid the interpretation of data obtained from corpora. The classification is exemplified on examples from a developing corpus of both public and academic discourse on educational change. The paper claims that it is necessary to distinguish between metaphor as an organizing principle of the conceptual system and i...

Security as one of the basic human needs has a special place in relaxation, comfort and spiritual needs provision. For this reason, security is always of managers, planners, architects and urban designers' interest. Solutions and strategies of security provision have been fundamentally changed following prevailing change of housing architecture patterns from homes to residential complexes and h...

In this work, we first briefly introduce the concept of IP flow classification on a general conceptual level. The intention is to rise above the technological details and create a conceptual point of view on flow classification and closely related issues. Then we move on to study and compare earlier flow classification methods such as the all and selected flow classifier and the packet count fl...
