OWL-DL is a World Wide Web Consortium standard for representing ontologies on the Semantic Web. It can be seen as a syntactic variant of the Description Logic SHOIN (D), with an OWL-DL ontology corresponding to a SHOIN (D) knowledge base. The very recent accomplishment of a decision procedure for SHOIN (D) poses the challenge of turning the decision procedure into a practical implementation. In...

We hypothesize that different genres of writing use different adjectives for the same concept. We test our hypothesis on lyrics, articles and poetry. We use the English Wikipedia and over 13,000 news articles from four leading newspapers for the article data set. Our lyrics data set consists of lyrics of more than 10,000 songs by 56 popular English singers, and our poetry dataset is made up of ...

This paper presents and evaluates a novel system for computer generated poetry. Framed within contemporary theoretical trends in the evaluation of computational creativity, we investigate how evidence of generative process influences readers’ opinions of computer generated textual output. In addition to a technical description of our system, we present results from a study asking respondents to...

BACKGROUND Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most relevant yeast species conducting the alcoholic fermentation that takes place during winemaking. Although the physiology of this model organism has been extensively studied, systematic quantitative physiology studies of this yeast under winemaking conditions are still scarce, thus limiting the understanding of fermentative metabolism of wine yeast...

As for many civilizations, poetry is an essential part of Chinese literature. Poetry has influenced the development of the literature and language of both classical and vernacular Chinese. Certain of the words that we use today can be tracked all the way back to the Shijing (詩經/shi1 jing1/ [1]), c. 1046BC. Research on Chinese poetry is thus instrumental for understanding Chinese culture, and a ...

A research project on timing relations in prose, poetry and music is outlined. In order to gain a deeper understanding of speech prosody, a comparison will be made of timing relations in such activities as reading of poetry and music performance, where there usually is a strong and obvious rhythmic patterning of the produced sound sequences. Also there are interesting parallels to be drawn by c...

Poetry can offer a wide range of language learning opportunities to ESL learners if it’s taught interactively and linguistically. Poetry is embellished with rhythm, beautiful diction and elevated grammatical features. These features can serve as a powerful stimulus to ESL students in learning grammar, vocabulary and integrated language skills. Some of the researchers pointed out that Poetry was...

We propose two novel methodologies for the automatic generation of rhythmic poetry in a variety of forms. The first approach uses a neural language model trained on a phonetic encoding to learn an implicit representation of both the form and content of English poetry. This model can effectively learn common poetic devices such as rhyme, rhythm and alliteration. The second approach considers poe...

In her article "Ginsberg's Translations of Apollinaire's and Genet's Poetry" Véronique Lane discusses Allen Ginsberg's journals, letters, and poems and their references to literary models. Focusing on Ginsberg's involvement with Guillaume Apollinaire's and Jean Genet's works, Lane argues that Ginsberg constructed the genealogy of his poetry through a threefold strategy of literary quotation, tr...

Coffee aroma, with more than 600 components, is considered as one of the most complex food aromas. Although electronic noses have been successfully used for objective analysis and differentiation of total coffee aromas, it is difficult to use them to describe the specific features of coffee aroma (i.e., the type of smell). This is because data obtained by electronic noses are generally based on...
