This paper reports reuse of generic domain knowledge in the form of templates, patterns or clichés to aid requirements capture and validation. These templates are retrieved through machine-based analogical matching. A cooperative paradigm for domain knowledge reuse is proposed. Human interpretation of templates is needed to maximise benefits from knowledge reuse, necessitating explanation and e...

Two clichés of science journalism have now played out around the ENCODE project. ENCODE's publicity first presented a misleading "all the textbooks are wrong" narrative about noncoding human DNA. Now several critiques of ENCODE's narrative have been published, and one was so vitriolic that it fueled "undignified academic squabble" stories that focused on tone more than substance.

We investigated methods for the discovery of clichés from song lyrics. Trigrams and rhyme features were extracted from a collection of lyrics and ranked using term-weighting techniques such as tf-idf. These attributes were also examined over both time and genre. We present an application to produce a cliché score for lyrics based on these findings and show that number one hits are substantially...

This paper presents a graph parsing approach to recognizing common stereotypical computational structures called clich es in com puter programs Recognition is a powerful technique for e ciently recon structing useful design information from existing software We use a ow graph formalism which is closely related to hypergraph formalisms to represent programs and clich es and we use attributed ow ...
