The Stanford Dependencies are a deep syntactic representation that are widely used for semantic tasks, like Recognizing Textual Entailment. But do they capture all of the semantic information a meaning representation ought to convey? This paper explores this question by investigating the feasibility of mapping Stanford dependency parses to Hobbsian Logical Form, a practical, event-theoretic sem...

This paper describes our system of recognizing textual entailment for RITE Traditional and Simplified Chinese subtasks at NTCIR10. We build a textual entailment recognition framework and implement a system that employs features of three categories, including string, structure and linguistic features, for the recognition. In addition, an entailment transformation approach is leveraged to align t...

This article investigates negotiations of librarians’ expertise in relation to information literacy at the micro-level, specifically in the domain of nursing education. A qualitaitve empirical framework is employed. The study draws on 18 semi-structured interviews, 16 with Swedish nursing students, one with a librarian and one with a nursing professor.

In Volume 3, #1 of the Journal of Technology Education, Pannabecker (1991) identified shortcomings in the language that has shaped perspectives within technology education, and raised an issue for dialogue. This essay is intended to extend Pannabecker's critique to include the metaphors of autonomous and advancing technology, and their supporting ideology of technological progress. Reasons for ...

The product of textual criticism is an edited text that the editor believes comes as close as possible to a lost original manuscript called the archetype. Usually, the editor compares different manuscripts of a single text, and represents it as an inverted tree showing all the steps in the transmission of a specific text, reconstructed by establishing relationships with other manuscripts. This ...

Building on recent studies that have linked music, emotion and geography, this article looks at the musical production of the Basque post-punk band ‘Lisabö’ across its four albums: Ezlekuak (Bidehuts, 2007), Izkiriaturik aurkitu ditudan gurak (Metak, 2005), Ezarian (Esan Ozenki, 2000) and the EP Egan Bat Nonahi (Acuarela, 2002). Melding musical (cultural/textual) studies with a range of geograp...

This paper takes a broad perspective on the disciplinary formations represented by digital humanities and new media within the academic humanities. In doing this analysis, I show that the gap between digital humanities and new media, the subject of this panel, is the result of incompatible institutional functions. I consider today digital humanities and new media studies as two strategies of co...

In 2008 the Recognizing Textual Entailment Challenge (RTE-4) was proposed for the first time as a track at the Text Analysis Conference (TAC). Another important innovation introduced in this campaign was a three-judgment task, which required the systems to make a further distinction between pairs where the entailment does not hold because the content of H is contradicted by the content of T, an...
