—The demand for efficient methods for extracting knowledge from multimedia content has led to a growing research community investigating the convergence of multimedia and knowledge technologies. In this paper we describe a methodology for extracting multimedia information from product catalogues empowered by the synergetic use and extension of a domain ontology. The methodology was implemented ...

translation is an active process in which a meaning is transferred from a source to a target language. during this process, meaning must have accordance with two main semantic sub-systems: signification and evaluation. signification is related to a signified unit of a linguistic sign and its encompassing properties known as seme. however, evaluation includes a range of different actualizations ...

this study investigated the effect of using visual aids, semantic elaboration, and visual aids plus semantic elaboration on the iranian efl learners' vocabulary learning. to conduct the study, the researchers assigned 49 elementary learners to three homogeneous groups according to their proficiency level. then, a pre-test of paribakht and wesche's vocabulary knowledge scale was given ...

the immense extent and richness of arabic lexical resources which bring about a great semantic extension, emerge in different ways, one of which is sobriquet. arabs used “alam” (proper noun) in three different forms, namely sobriquet, nickname and noun. in certain cases and due to rhetoric and semantic reasons, arabs used sobriquet instead of noun or nickname. gradually, this application became...

In this paper‎, ‎following a very recent‎ ‎and new approach‎, ‎we further generalize recently introduced‎ ‎summability methods‎, ‎namely‎, ‎$I$-statistical convergence and‎ ‎$I$-lacunary statistical convergence (which extend the important‎ ‎summability methods‎, ‎statistical convergence and lacunary‎ ‎statistical convergence using ideals of $mathbb{N}$) and‎ ‎introduce the notions of $I$-statis...

Highly optimized reasoning support for Description Logics (DLs) has been developed during the past years. This paper presents our efforts to develop a reasoner suitable for mobile devices, namely mobile phones. This might become important upon the convergence of the mobile industry and the web, especially the semantic web. Details of the implementation and current limitations provide explanatio...

We propose a notion of convergence-sensitive bisimulation that is built just over the notions of (internal) reduction and of (static) context. In the framework of timed CCS, we characterise this notion of ‘contextual’ bisimulation via the usual labelled transition system. We also remark that it provides a suitable semantic framework for a fully abstract embedding of untimed processes into timed...

The convergence between Web technology and multimedia production is enabling the distribution of content through dynamic media platforms such as RSS feeds and hybrid digital television. Heterogeneous data clustering is needed to analyse, manage and access desired information from this variety of information sources. This paper defines a new class of pseudo-semantic affinity functions that allow...

in this paper, we use the concept of graph convergence of h(.,.)-co-accretive mapping introduced by [r. ahmad, m. akram, m. dilshad, graph convergence for the h(.,.)-co-accretive mapping with an application, bull. malays. math. sci. soc., doi: 10.1007/s40840-014-0103-z, 2014$] and define an over-relaxed proximal point method to obtain the solution of a generalized variational inclusion problem ...

Semantic dementia, a circumscribed disorder of semantic knowledge, provides a unique model for understanding the neural basis for semantic representation. The study addressed areas of contention: the relative roles of the left and right temporal lobe, the contribution of anterior versus posterior temporal cortex and the status of the anterior temporal lobes as amodal hub. Naming and word compre...
