This paper presents an approach for the automatic connection between predicate model resources in Spanish and English. The objective is to assess the difficulty of the task and to evaluate the performance of different techniques and semi-automated methods. On the one hand we are pursuing a reduction in the effort for the enrichment of these resources, on the other, to increase their coverage an...

This study used reflective practitioner methodology to investigate how to improve the quality of statistical education. During the study, this methodology, curricula, pedagogical practices, assessment and a framework for learning to learn statistics were all developed as means of improving the quality of statistical education. Also documented was the move from being a classroom teacher of stati...

We discuss classroom experiments using WordsEye, a system for automatically generating 3D scenes from English textual descriptions. Input is syntactically and semantically processed to identify a set of graphical objects and constraints which are then rendered as a 3D scene. We describe experiments with the system in a summer literacy enrichment program conducted at the Harlem Educational Activ...

A subtask of Ontology Enrichment is the extraction of time periods for temporal concepts. In this paper we describe a method for this period extraction. We show the working of the method in the cultural heritage domain, extracting periods for art styles. We also discuss a number of possible ways to transform the uncertain knowledge that this method provides into a semantic representation in an ...

Semantic annotations are a core enabler for efficient retrieval of relevant information in the life sciences as well in other disciplines. The biomedical literature is a major source of knowledge, which however is underutilized due to the lack of rich annotations that would allow automated knowledge discovery. We briefly describe the results of the SASEBio project (Semi Automated Semantic Enric...

The application of open hypermedia to temporal media has previously been explored with respect to the link service, in particular link delivery and generic linking. This paper is based on the notion of continuous metadata, in which we use metadata in a temporally significant manner to capture and convey the information required to support linking. With a focus on link creation and live processi...
