The results submitted for Task 1B is the outcome of the prototype system of an ongoing biological entity tagging system, called BioTagger, which decomposes the tagging task into several subtasks and considers novelty, synonymy and ambiguity associated with terms representing biological entities in text: • Automatic construction of a comprehensive dictionary for biological entities using online ...

In this paper we explore the relation between derivational morphology and synonymy in connection with an electronic dictionary, inspired by the work of Maurice Gross. The characteristics of this relation are illustrated by derivation in Serbian, which produces new lemmas with predictable meaning. We call this regular derivation. We then demonstrate how this kind of derivation is handled in text...

The Lycocerus kiontochananus species complex is revised; L. perroudi (Pic, 1937) stat. rev., originally in Cantharis, is resurrected from synonymy with L. kiontochananus (Pic, 1921); L. atropygidialis (Pic, 1937) stat. nov., originally in Cantharis, is upgraded from Cantharis perroudi var. atropygidialis Pic, 1937 and resurrected from synonymy with L. kiontochananus; L. kejvali Švihla, 2004 syn...

Although represented as such in wordnets, word senses are not discrete. To handle word senses as fuzzy objects, we exploit the graph structure of synonymy pairs acquired from different sources to discover synsets where words have different membership degrees that reflect confidence. Following this approach, a wide-coverage fuzzy thesaurus was discovered from a synonymy network compiled from sev...

Exosphaeromaamplicauda (Stimpson, 1857) from the west coast of North America is reviewed and redescribed and revealed to be a group of closely related species. A neotype is designated and the species redescribed based on the neotype and topotypic specimens. Exosphaeromaamplicauda is known only from the coast of California, at Marin, Sonoma and San Mateo Counties. Exosphaeromaaphrodita (Boone, 1...

UNLABELLED We sought to replicate and extend Carroll and Hesse's (1987) study of the acquisition of tacts by including participants with and without developmental disabilities. As in Carroll and Hesse, the present results showed that mand-tact training, rather than tact-only training, led to more rapid acquisition of tacts. Tacting on follow-up tests did not differ. In addition, our results sho...

We evaluated the emergence of untaught second-language skills following directly taught listener and intraverbal responses. Three preschool children were taught first-language (English) listener responses (e.g., "Point to the horse") and second-language (Welsh) intraverbal responses (e.g., "What is horse in Welsh?" [ceffyl]). After intervention, increases in untaught second-language tacts (e.g....

The purpose of this article is to identify grammatical and lexical forms cohesion in the discourse april 2022 issue kompas.com site's online news. This uses a descriptive qualitative method with text analysis type research. Data collection techniques are carried out by recording words, phrases, clauses sentences that have forms. Based on data obtained form cohesion, namely efficiency, substitut...

This paper describes an experiment aiming at evaluating the role of NLP based optimizations (i.e. morphological derivation and synonymy expansion) in web search strategies.
