The discordance between expressions interpretable by a natural language interface (NLI) system and those answerable by a knowledge base is a critical problem in the field of NLIs. In order to solve this discordance problem, this paper proposes a method to translate natural language questions into formal queries that can be generated from a graph-based knowledge base. The proposed method conside...

Soybean (Glycine max) is a major source of vegetable oil and protein for both animal and human consumption. The completion of soybean genome sequence led to a number of transcriptomic studies (RNA-seq), which provide a resource for gene discovery and functional analysis. Several data-driven (e.g., based on gene expression data) and knowledge-based (e.g., predictions of molecular interactions) m...

Systems theory is a well-established and mature area of engineering research, where many strong general mathematical results are available. Especially the analysis of linear identification and control systems have been pursued by many researchers leading to a complete understanding of various mechanisms that are effective in the stability, controllability and observability of these. Due to the ...

A ubiquitous Knowledge Base (u-KB) is a distributed and decentralized knowledge base where the factual knowledge (i.e. individuals) is scattered between objects disseminated within a given environment with no centralized coordination. Such a vision enables a truly pervasive environment where autonomous objects set up a self-organized discovery architecture. This paper presents an extended frame...

today, knowledge is considered as a competitive advantage. so, different countries try to prepare necessary infrastructure for knowledge development in different levels. one of the solutions in this field especially for know-how development is establishing physical places with purpose of doing knowledge based projects. these physical places were established in different countries with various n...

ticks are important acarina that infest animals. they are obligatory blood sucker arthropods which economically impact cattle industry by reducing weight gain and production. moreover, they are important vectors of viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitic pathogens infecting humans and animals. in view of the importance of hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum in pathogen transmission, including th...

Internet Consultant (IC) is a natural language system that helps the user to explore the internet resources. Externally IC behaves as a conversational agent that assists World Wide Web browsing. Internally it is a multi-agent system which consists of the following three agents; 1) Natural language interface (NLI) agent that understands user's utterance and extracts his/her goals, 2) Planning ag...

Nowadays, natural language interfaces (NLIs) show strong demands on various smart devices from wearable devices, cell phones, televisions, to vehicles. Domain adaptation becomes one of the major challenging issues to support the applications on different domains. In this paper, we propose a framework of domain-adaptable NLIs to integrate linguistic knowledge and world knowledge. Given a knowled...

This paper discusses a learning algorithm for regular sets in the model of learning in the limit from complete data (i.e., positive and negative data). We rst present some characterization results for regular sets in the rough set theoretic framework. More speci cally, it is shown that any regular set is R-de nable for some kinds of equivalence relations R of nite index. We then show that regul...
