Innovation is the core motivation of the economic development, while the open innovation model provides our country enterprise an opportunity to improve the innovation capability. The implementation of the open innovation improve the enterprise innovation capacity, for it makes the enterprise can effectively integrate internal and external innovation resources, constructs a new innovation syste...

This paper focuses on coupled processes with key suppliers, which we call supply chain-open innovativeness relationships. Drawing on social exchange theory, we identify some antecedents of this orientation in the relationship an organization can maintain with its key supplier. We measure some of these constructs in terms of gap by comparing perceptions with previous expectations. We also analyz...

Language is always in flux. Over time new patterns can be observed that are either minor modifications to the linguistic system, as when the meaning of a lexical item changes, or major ones, as when word order changes occur. That language change occurs primarily as a result of acquisition is uncontroversial. There are, however, very different theories and discourses about how to interpret this ...

The title of this book is well chosen to capture a central concern of comparativehistorical linguistics in the Pacific and Southeast Asian areas, and to honor a scholar who represents the apogee of the enterprise. Malcolm Ross’ dissertation (1988) sought to integrate principles of genetic and areal linguistics while classifying over 200 Melanesian languages, reconstructing lexical and grammatic...

The ontology engineering research community has focused for many years on supporting the creation, development and evolution of ontologies. Ontology forecasting, which aims at predicting semantic changes in an ontology, represents instead a new challenge. In this paper, we want to give a contribution to this novel endeavour by focusing on the task of forecasting semantic concepts in the researc...

The Practical Lexical Function (PLF) model is a model of computational distributional semantics that attempts to strike a balance between expressivity and learnability in predicting phrase meaning and shows competitive results. We investigate how well the PLF carries over to free word order languages, given that it builds on observations of predicate-argument combinations that are harder to rec...

In this paper, we present an extensible framework for interactive multimodal contents, with emphasis on augmented reality applications. The proposed framework, EDSUN, enables concurrent and variable narrative structures as well as content reusability and dynamic yet natural experience generation. EDSUN’s main components include a canonical specification of 5state lexical syntax and grammar, sto...

Introduction This paper describes a natural language understanding system that is under development at the Southern Methodist University. The project, known as the SNAP project, started at the University of Southern California in late 1980’s. Our group participated in the Message Understanding Conferences (MUC-4 and -5) where the task was to extract information from thousands of real messages a...
