Paraphrase recognition is the task of identifying whether two pieces of natural language represent similar meanings. This paper describes a system participating in the shared task 1 of SemEval 2015, which is about paraphrase detection and semantic similarity in twitter. Our approach is to exploit semantically meaningful features to detect paraphrases. An existing state-of-the-art model for pred...

I have been asked about the paper "What's in a Link": how it came to be, what was happening in the field at the time, and how the ideas have evolved since then. This talk will describe my perspective on some of the things that I saw happening around me that led me to write the paper, some of the background thoughts that led to the ideas presented there, and how some of those ideas have evolved ...

We are interested in the problem of extracting meaning structures from spoken utterances in human communication. In Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) systems, parsing of meaning structures is carried over the word hypotheses generated by the Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR). This approach suffers from high word error rates and ad-hoc conceptual representations. In contrast, in this paper we ...

the two terms information and communication have some ambiguities. yet, there is not a consensus on their definitions. but they have some common characteristics, which make them be used interchangeably, information is the basic element for communication. information, inevitably. does net end to communication while when there is communication, there is information 100. communication is the natur...

Semantic space models represent the meaning of a word as a vector in high-dimensional space. They offer a framework in which the meaning representation of a word can be computed from its context, but the question remains how they support inferences. While there has been some work on paraphrase-based inferences in semantic space, it is not clear how semantic space models would support inferences...

Semantic coordination, namely the problem of finding an agreement on the meaning of heterogeneous semantic models, is one of the key issues in the development of the Semantic Web. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for discovering semantic mappings across hierarchical classifications based on a new approach to semantic coordination. This approach shifts the problem of semantic coordinati...

This paper presents a formal semantic analysis of the plural reading of split control sentences in the context of the propositional theory of control in the framework of LFG and Glue. For sentences that involve a collective controlled verb, the proposed analysis provides, for the first time, an adequate semantic derivation that does not require anaphoric resolution of the understood subject. Tw...

Semantic Web is, without a doubt, gaining momentum in both industry and academia. The word “Semantic” refers to “meaning” – a semantic web is a web of meaning. In this fast changing and result oriented practical world, gone are the days where an individual had to struggle for finding information on the Internet where knowledge management was the major issue. The semantic web has a vision of lin...

The individual roles played by the cerebral hemispheres during the process of language comprehension have been extensively studied in tasks that require individuals to read text (for review see Jung-Beeman, 2005). However, it is not clear whether or not some aspects of the theorized laterality models of semantic comprehension are a result of the modality of presentation. Extending earlier work ...
