Examination of the holotype of the tetragnathid spider Sternospina concretipalpis Schmidt & Krause, 1993 demonstrates that the extraordinary claim by the authors of the original description of this species that the male palps are fused is unfounded. The monotypic genus Sternospina Schmidt & Krause, 1993 is a junior synonym of Tylorida Simon, 1894 and S. concretipalpis is a junior synonym of the...

The paper presents the detection of syntactic patterns in the Croatian WordNet synset definitions. The detection was performed in order to create unambiguous and consistent synset definitions in the future development of the Croatian WordNet. The rules are implemented in form of finite-state transducers and tested on already existing version of the Croatian WordNet. Results are presented using ...

This paper describes our participation to the TREC 2005 Robust Task. A method of conceptual indexing based on WordNet is used. Both documents and queries are mapped onto WordNet. Thus concepts belonging to WordNet synsets are identified and extracted whereas those having a single sense are expanded.

In this paper, we address the automatic induction of synonym paraphrases for the empirically challenging class of German particle verbs. Similarly to Cocos and Callison-Burch (2016), we incorporate a graph-based clustering approach for word sense discrimination into an existing paraphrase extraction system, (i) to improve the precision of synonym identification and ranking, and (ii) to enlarge ...

The Agrilus occipitalis species-group is redefined and diagnosed. Two species from this group, Agrilus auriventris Saunders, 1873 and Agrilus occipitalis (Eschscholtz, 1822), are known as the serious pests of cultivated Citrus trees. Overall twenty-three taxa are included in the Agrilus occipitalis species-group. A complete list of references, type material, species examined and distribution is...

The status of two doubtful fish species is reviewed. Percis punctata Cuvier, 1829 is confirmed to be a valid species of Parapercis Bleeker, 1863 and a senior synonym of Parapercis guezei Fourmanoir, 1966. A redescription of Parapercis punctata is provided, based on four specimens collected from the western Indian Ocean. Examination of the holotype of Neosillago marmorata Castelnau, 1875 reveale...

Introduction: Protein and gene names change frequently as research reveals details about these entities. 1 Because authors often use synonyms, information retrieval requires identification of these alternate names. Many biological databases — such as GenBank 2 and SWISSPROT 3 — have synonym databases; however, the databases may not be complete. Furthermore, to our knowledge, the extraction of s...

Interest in domain-specific search is growing rapidly, creating a need for domain-specific synonym discovery. The best-performing methods for this task rely on query logs and are thus difficult to use in many circumstances. We propose a method for domain-specific synonym discovery that requires only a domain-specific corpus. Our method substantially outperforms previously proposed methods in re...
