Graph-based synset induction methods, such as MaxMax and Watset, induce synsets by performing a global clustering of a synonymy graph. However, such methods are sensitive to the structure of the input synonymy graph: sparseness of the input dictionary can substantially reduce the quality of the extracted synsets. In this paper, we propose two different approaches designed to alleviate the incom...

The main objective of this work is to improve the quality of the results produced by the Internet search engines. In order to achieve it, the FIS-CRM model (Fuzzy Interrelations and Synonymy based Concept Representation Model) is proposed as a mechanism for representing the concepts (not only terms) contained in any kind of document. This model, based on the vector space model, incorporates a f...

Within the Common Logic Ontology Repository (COLORE), relationships among ontologies such as the notions of faithful interpretability, logical synonymy, and reducibility have been used for ontology verification. Earlier work has shown how to use these relationships to find modules of theories, so a natural question is to determine how we can use the decomposition of one theory into modules to f...

Ensuring ship navigational safety is a complex, multi-faceted problem that can only be solved while considering the human factor and, consequently, language component of this problem. Terms in general, and terms particular, comprising concepts acting as tools knowledge, are very important components professional communication verbal aspect. Although extensive, English terminology navigation not...

The purpose of this report is to present the study of a linguistic network based on the relation of synonymy. The network has been extracted from a dictionary of synonyms in French. Due to errors and ambiguities in the data, the synonyms are not always grouped into distinct components. To refine the results, we apply a clustering algorithm to the network. Each densely connected cluster is consi...

poecilus beesoni (andrewes) collected at lake izeh (khuzestan) is recorded for the first time for iran. for identification the holotypes of poecilus beesoni and p. affinissimus were compared. based on this study poecilus affinissimus (ali 1967) is synonymized with poecilus beesoni (andrewes, 1927).
