We analyze a corpus of historical texts in terms of complex network theory. This is done by means of the Patrologia Latina, a collection of Latin documents that were written over a period of more than 1,000 years. We perform a lemmatization of this corpus and map its documents onto the end of the productive period of the corresponding authors. By means of this temporal ordering, we perform a tr...

Xml, the Extensible Markup Language, is a standard for storing and exchanging hierarchically structured text. Due to Xml's tree-like view of documents, modern functional programming languages such as Sml, with trees as the basic data types, are well-suited for implementing Xml processing software. The basis of all such applications is an Xml parser, serving as a front-end to the Xml syntax. Thi...

The aim of this work is related to the production of inclusive technologies to help people affected by diseases, like the blindness. We present a complete pipeline to convert scanned Braille documents into classic printed text. The tool has been thought as support for assistants (e.g., in the education domain) and parents of blind and partially sighted persons (e.g., children and elderly) for t...

We would like to introduce BEECON, an information and event extraction system for business intelligence. This is the first ontology-based system for business documents analysis that is able to detect 41 different types of business events from unstructured sources of information. The described system is intended to enhance business intelligence efficiency by automatically extracting relevant con...

We elaborate a quantum model for corpora of written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web. To that end, we are guided by how physicists constructed quantum theory for microscopic entities, which unlike classical objects cannot be fully represented in our spatial theater. We suggest that a similar construction needs to be carried out by linguists and computational scientists, to c...

there are only a few old elamite documents available today; however there are more than 500 legal documents from susa, written in akkadian, that provide us with a unique chance to study legal and social institutions of elam in the sukkalmah period. the present study will edit and translate three lease documents from the sukkalmah period, which are known as esip-tabal contracts. a comparative st...
