We implement a Korean syntactic analyzer which decreases many ambiguities in syntax parse trees using segmentation and semantic connection units. We use dependency grammar for parsing. Our syntactic analysis system generates all parse trees of a given sentence. So, the number of parse trees of syntactic analysis is many. To decrease the number of parse trees, we suggested semantic connection un...

This task combines the labeling of multiword expressions and supersenses (coarse-grained classes) in an explicit, yet broad-coverage paradigm for lexical semantics. Nine systems participated; the best scored 57.7% F1 in a multi-domain evaluation setting, indicating that the task remains largely unresolved. An error analysis reveals that a large number of instances in the data set are either har...

A formal ontology design and implementation case study which serves as the core for a semantic web application in the area of fungal genomics is presented. Simplified semantic access to units of intersecting information from different biological databases is under development

Due to the special characteristics and challenges in Chinese language, event extraction in Chinese is much more difficult than that in English. In particular, the state-of-the-art Chinese event extraction systems suffer much from the low recall in trigger identification due to the failure in identifying unknown triggers and the inconsistency in identifying trigger mentions. To resolve these two...

The ability to automatically analyze audio content is a key aspect of information retrieval systems that deal with multimodal files. The unprecedented growth of web-based user generated content-sharing platforms and their popularity has led to research efforts attempting to understand the content of such files. Typically, audio analysis research has focussed on some specific tasks – detection o...

Units are basic scientific tools that render meaning to numerical data. Their standardization and formalization caters for the report, exchange, process, reproducibility and integration of quantitative measurements. Ontologies are means that facilitate the integration of data and knowledge allowing interoperability and semantic information processing between diverse biomedical resources and dom...

Communities of autonomous units are being developed for formal specification and semantic analysis of systems of interacting and mobile components. The autonomous units of a community are rulebased, self-controlled, goal-driven, and operate and move in a common environment. We employ communities of autonomous units to model the dynamic pickup and delivery problem with the general idea to demons...

We investigated the internal structure of words in the mental lexicon by using a crossword puzzle paradigm. In two experiments, subjects were presented with word fragments along with a semantic cue, and were asked to retrieve the whole word that contained the pre· sented fragment and was compatible with the semantic information. In Experiment 1, we found that any cluster of adjacent three lette...
