A proper semantic representation of textual information underlies many natural language processing tasks. In this paper, a novel semantic annotator is presented to generate conceptual features for text documents. A comprehensive conceptual network is automatically constructed with the aid of Wikipedia which has been represented as a Markov chain. Furthermore, semantic annotator gets a fragment ...

Information Realisation is the process of presenting data as Textual, Graphical or Audial information to a human user. In this paper, we discuss the importance of this concept with respect to the accessibility of Semantic Web data to a diverse target audience. We provide an ontological point of view, defining the expressive characteristics and application domain of representation formats, thus ...

In this paper we present the application of a model driven software development approach (MDSD) to the generation of graphical (interactive) maps. The approach is rooted on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and on a textual representation of the metamodel handled by the openArchitectureWare (oAW) suite of plug-ins. The metamodel represents our domain-specific language (DSL), which extends th...

Many organizations possess large collections of textual reports that document how a problem is solved or analysed, e.g. medical patient records, industrial accident reports, lawsuit records and investigation reports. Effective use of expert knowledge contained in these reports may greatly increase productivity of the organization. In this article, we propose a method for automatic extraction of...

This paper presents an approach to emotion recognition from speech signals and textual content. In the analysis of speech signals, thirty-three acoustic features are extracted from the speech input. After Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is performed, 14 principle components are selected for discriminative representation. In this representation, each principle component is the combination of ...

In this paper we describe a pipeline for publishing interactive multimedia content. The Portable Document Format (PDF) offers the possibility to include 3D visualizations, textual representation and interactivity (via scripting technology) in one multimedia container, which will be the upcoming standard for multimedia long-term archiving. Our system demonstrates its potential for surplus value ...

most of iranian comedy films, before and after the revolution, can be categorized as romantic comedies. these films depict romantic relationship between men and women as a funny incident and constitute the iranian romantic comedy genre. drawing on genre theory, this paper aims at understanding the relationship between the romantic comedy’s heroes and heroines with their friends, and at finding ...

With the increasing empirical success of distributional models of compositional semantics, it is timely to consider the types of textual logic that such models are capable of capturing. In this paper, we address shortcomings in the ability of current models to capture logical operations such as negation. As a solution we propose a tripartite formulation for a continuous vector space representat...

A new, possibilistic logic based information retrieval model is presented. Its main feature is an explicit representation of both the vagueness and the uncertainty typical for the textual information representation and processing. The weights of index terms in documents and queries are directly interpreted as quantifying this vagueness and uncertainty. The classical approaches to the term-weigh...
