This paper introduces an open source, interoperable generic software tool set catering for the entire workflow of creation, migration, annotation, query and analysis of multi-layer linguistic corpora. It consists of four components: Salt, a graph-based meta model and API for linguistic data, the common data model for the rest of the tool set; Pepper, a conversion tool and platform for linguisti...

Linguistic communication relies on non-linguistic context to convey meaning. That context might include, for instance, recent or long-term experience, semantic knowledge of the world, or objects and events in the immediate environment. In this paper, we describe embodied agents instantiated in Soar cognitive architecture that use context derived from their linguistic, perceptual, procedural and...

In this paper it is presented the use of preference degrees to solve decision-making problems where linguistic preference relations are used to represent decision-makers' opinions. From a linguistic preference relation are deened a linguistic non-dominance degree, a linguistic dominance degree, and a stric domoninance degree, using linguistic quantiiers and the ordered weight linguistic aggrega...

The current study explores the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and bilingualism on the linguistic skills and verbal short-term memory of preschool children. In previous studies comparing children of low and mid-high SES, the terms "a child with low-SES" and "a child speaking a minority language" are often interchangeable, not enabling differentiated evaluation of these two variables. Th...

In recent years, research on the quality of electronic journals has been one of the emphases in the development of library. This paper employs the 2-tuples evaluation method to evaluate the quality of electronic journals and reaches the final evaluation results. By converting the fuzzy linguistic term set on the quality of electronic journals which is defined by different experts into 2-tuples,...

Automatic Definition Extraction (DE) consists of identifying definitions in naturally-occurring text. This paper presents a method for the identification of definitions in Catalan in the encyclopedic domain. The train and test corpora come from the Catalan Wikipedia (Viquipèdia). The test set has been manually validated. We approach the task as a supervised classification problem, using the Con...

Most conventional data-mining algorithms identify the relationships among transactions using binary values and find rules at a single concept level. Transactions with quantitative values and items with taxonomic relations are, however, commonly seen in real-world applications. Besides, the taxonomic structures may also be represented in a fuzzy way. This paper thus proposes a fuzzy multiple-lev...

Like text in other domains, biomedical documents contain a range of terms with more than one possible meaning. These ambiguities form a significant obstacle to the automatic processing of biomedical texts. Previous approaches to resolving this problem have made use of a variety of knowledge sources including linguistic information (from the context in which the ambiguous term is used) and domai...

The main objective of the present study is to evaluate multicriteria group decision-making problem in risk management for technological innovation projects (TIPs) under dual-probabilistic linguistic information. suggested approach based on an enhanced dual probabilistic linguistic-vise kriterijumska optimizacija kompromisno resenje (DPL-VIKOR) technique assess TIP employing conventional VIKOR i...

A necessary and sufficient condition for the ordered weighted average (OWA) aggregation value of an arbitrary aggregated set to consistently increase with the orness level is proposed. The OWA operator properties associated with the orness level are extended. Then, with the generating function representation of Regular Increasing Monotone (RIM) quantifier, all these conditions and properties ar...
