An elaboration on (Das et al., 2010), this report formalizes frame-semantic parsing as a structure prediction problem and describes an implemented parser that transforms an English sentence into a frame-semantic representation. SEMAFOR 1.0 finds words that evoke FrameNet frames, selects frames for them, and locates the arguments for each frame. The system uses two feature-based, discriminative ...

The introduction of semantics on the web will lead to a new generation of services based on content rather than on syntax. Search engines will provide topic-based searches, retrieving resources conceptually related to the user informational need. Queries will be expressed in several ways, and will be mapped on the semantic level defining topics that must be retrieved from the web. Moving toward...

Three experiments examined the effects of semantic characteristics of word pairs on memory using the encoding specificity paradigm. The paradigm involved four phases: (a) an encoding phase to relate cues and targets, (b) a phase in which words were generated to new cues, (c) a phase for recognition of generated targets, and (d) a cued-recall phase using the original encoding cues. Encoding pair...

Metaphor comprehension involves the generation of novel semantic attributes, especially when a metaphor emphasizes a shared but atypical characteristic of the relevant concepts. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study explores neural activation during the process of attribute generation known as feature emergence. The participants judged whether a presented semantic featu...

Information and knowledge retrieval are today some of the main assets of the Semantic Web. However, a notable immaturity still exists, as to what tools, methods and standards may be used to effectively achieve these goals. No matter what approach is actually followed, querying Semantic Web information often requires deep knowledge of the ontological syntax, the querying protocol and the knowled...

This paper examines the evolution of terminology verb complements in official texts published France from 1910 to present day: first through analysis debates and discussions that accompanied elaboration grammatical nomenclature, then by study short medium term reception this inaugural text, finally comparison nomenclatures terminologies 1975 onwards. highlights contrary trends language teaching...

In order to assess the effectiveness of an advertisement employing incongruity, it would be most helpful to determine when and how incongruity is likely to be processed by consumers and the nature of the response it is likely to evoke. By combining the tenets of two classic processing theories, Petty and Cacioppo’s Elaboration Likelihood Model (1981, 1986) and Mandler’s Schema Incongruity Theor...

This paper discusses and clariies the elaboration discourse relation using the notion of event coreference. Unlike entity coreference, event coreference has rarely been studied in detail, except for (pro)nominals referring to an event. Here the focus will be on event coreference between two sentences (in an elaboration relation). This study will put forward unusual linguistic phenomena, e.g. co...
