Software Engineers are interested in understanding software structure in order to manage its complexity, and to assure and improve its quality. Semantic models can inform tools to communicate this information to humans. The .NET framework provides a common semantic underpinning for a wide range of programming languages in an intermediate language. Nevertheless, there is a semantic gap between t...

The demand of applying semantic segmentation model on mobile devices has been increasing rapidly. Current state-of-the-art networks have enormous amount parameters hence unsuitable for devices, while other small memory footprint models follow the spirit classification network and ignore inherent characteristic segmentation. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel Context Guided Network (CGNe...

Cloth-changing person re-identification (re-ID) is a new rising research topic that aims at retrieving pedestrians whose clothes are changed. This task quite challenging and has not been fully studied to date. Current works mainly focus on body shape or contour sketch, but they robust enough due view posture variations. The key this exploit cloth-irrelevant cues. paper proposes semantic-guided ...

We propose that map reading can be construed as a form of analogical mapping. We tested 2 predictions that follow from this claim: First, young children's patterns of performance in map reading tasks should parallel those found in analogical mapping tasks; and, second, children will benefit from guided alignment instructions that help them see the relational correspondences between the map and ...

Semantic integration became an attractive area of research in several disciplines, such as information integration, databases and ontologies. Huge amount of data is still stored in relational databases (RDBs) that can be used to build ontology, and the database cannot be used directly by the semantic web. Therefore, one of the main challenges of the semantic web is mapping relational databases ...

The Web has changed from a mere repository of information to a new platform for business transactions where organizations deploy, share and expose business processes via Web services. New promising application fields such as the Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services are leveraging the potential of deploying those services, but face the problem of discovering and invoking them in a simple way f...

Current research to harness the power of P2P networks involves building reliable Semantic Peerto-Peer (SP2P) systems. SP2P systems combine two complementary technologies: P2P networking and ontologies. There are several types of SP2P systems with applications to knowledge management systems, databases, the Semantic Web, emergent semantics, web services, and information systems. Correct semantic...

Fast improvement of web technologies have caused a problem of semantic integration between distributed applications. In this respect, sharing and distribution of information are of vital importance for ontologies. Ontologies may be improved by any independent association and still be used by another association. In case an association decides to use an ontology improved by another association, ...
