While recent research in image understanding has often focused on recognizing more types of objects, understanding more about the objects is just as important. Learning about object parts and their geometric relationships has been extensively studied before, yet learning large space of such concepts remains elusive due to the high cost of collecting detailed object annotations for supervision. ...

Given the critical and difficult nature of discovering Web services in the development process of service oriented architectures, several studies have been proposed to solve this problem. There is a real need to work for matching semantic Web services which use different ontologies. In responding to this need, measuring semantic similarity between SWS may be reduced to the calculation of simila...

Abstract. D-LTAG is a discourse-level extension of Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar (LTAG), in which discourse syntax is projected by different types of discourse connectives and discourse interpretation is a product of compositional rules, anaphora resolution, and inference. In this paper, we present a D-LTAG extension of ongoing work on an LTAG syntaxsemantic interface. First, we show how p...

The semantic priming task is a valuable tool in the investigation of semantic memory impairments in patients with acquired disorders of language. This is because priming performance reflects automatic or implicit access to semantic information, unlike most other tests of semantic knowledge, which rely on explicit, voluntary access. Priming results are important for two main reasons: First, norm...

We defend the view that an indexical uttered by an actor works on the model of deferred reference. If it defers to a character which does not exist, it is an empty term, just as ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Ophelia’ are. The utterance in which it appears does not express a proposition and thus lacks a truth value. We advocate an ontologically parsimonious, anti-realist, position. We show how the notion of tru...

We deal with a wide range of colors in our daily life. They are such ubiquitous phenomena that is hard and next to impossible to imagine even a single entity (be it an object, place, living creature, etc) devoid of them. They are like death and tax which nobody can dispense with. This omnipresence of colors around us has also made its way through abstract and less tangible entities via the inte...

using a semantic differential scale 280 third grade highschool students (male and female) were asked to express their attitudes towards themselves, parents, teachers, and their education. finding indicate possitive correlation between students attitude towards themselves and their education as well as between their attitude towards themselves and their parents.

the coalition between terms and their meaning can be as the result of phonological repetition in its speech structure and specific semantic load. this can lead to meaning distinction in choosing words and also meaning association. therefore, literally and syntactically, the phonological level cannot be separated from semantic level. earlier, the phonological association in text has been discuss...
