We present a structured learning approach to inducing hypernym taxonomies using a probabilistic graphical model formulation. Our model incorporates heterogeneous relational evidence about both hypernymy and siblinghood, captured by semantic features based on patterns and statistics from Web n-grams and Wikipedia abstracts. For efficient inference over taxonomy structures, we use loopy belief pr...

This paper advocates the adoption of deferred error coding within computer science curricula. It argues that it is both a sound development strategy and aligns well pedagogically. By deferring specific error handling, the student better appreciates its subtleties and its importance as an independent topic, and will tend to create more reliable applications. This paper includes other topics whic...

In this paper we summarize requirements-based testing with defect taxonomies which seamlessly integrates defect taxonomies into the standard test process to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of testing requirements. Defect taxonomies which consist of hierarchies of defect categories provide information about the distribution of faults and failures in a project. In practice, most defe...

A lot of heuristic approaches have been explored in the last two decades in order to tackle large size optimization problems. These areas include parallel meta-heuristics, hybrid meta-heuristic, and cooperative search algorithms. Different taxonomies have been proposed in the literature for parallel and hybrid meta-heuristics. In these taxonomies, one can realize that cooperative search algorit...

Increasingly, taxonomies are being developed for a wide variety of industrial domains and specific applications within those domains. These industry or application specific taxonomies attempt to represent the vocabularies commonly used by the practitioners. These formal representations have the potential to automate information retrieval, facilitate interoperability and improve decision making....

Cybercrime is becoming ever more pervasive and yet the lack of consensus surrounding what constitutes a cybercrime has significant impact on society, legal policy response, academic research. Difficulties in understanding begin with variability terminology consistency legislation across jurisdictions. In this review, using structured literature review methodology, key definitions, typologies ta...

Empirical results in software engineering have long started to show that findings are unlikely be applicable all systems, or any domain: need evaluated specified contexts, and limited the type of systems they were extracted from. This is a known issue, requires establishment classification types. paper makes two contributions: first evaluate quality current classifications landscape. The second...

This chapter discusses the design of taxonomies to be used in dynamic taxonomy systems. Although the only actual requirement of dynamic taxonomies is a multidimensional classification, i.e., objects are classified under more than one concept, an organization by facets is normally used. In the first section, we provide guidelines for the design of DT taxonomies, which include the automatic const...
