We address the problem of semantic coordination, namely finding an agreement between the meanings of heterogeneous semantic models. We propose a new approximation method to discover and assess the “strength” (preciseness) of semantic mappings between concepts from different concept hierarchies. We apply this method in the music domain. We present the results of preliminary tests on mapping two ...

Objectives of the Study The thesis, The influence of motivation, social interaction and space on individual experience – The m2cell cruise ship concept in three group events, explores consumer behaviour in the context of innovative modular cruise ship concept. The main goal of the research is to investigate what added value m2cell-concept could bring to the participants of three group events, n...

Having seen that categoricity is a concept of somewhat limited usefulness, we now turn to a more versatile (and historically prior) technique for establishing model completeness, namely quantifier elimination. But more than just giving further criteria for showing that theories are model / completen, quantifier elimination is a fundamental concept in its own right (arguably more so than categor...

In what follows, I will be making recommendations for how to understand and distinguish these three concepts. The account I will be developing situates the concept of epistemically rational belief into a well-integrated and philosophically respectable general theory of rationality; it links the concept of warranted belief with the theory of knowledge; and it insists that the concept of justifie...

The concept of spatial justice has been widely employed in the recent literature that attempts to deal with concepts and practices of justice from a geographical perspective. However, the concept of spatial justice needs to be recast. Spatial justice could be the most radical offspring of law’s ‘spatial turn’. Spatial justice is arguably the most promising platform on which to redefine, not o...

Formal concept analysis is a particular method of analysis of relational data. In addition to tools for data analysis, formal concept analysis provides elaborated mathematical foundations for relational data. In the course of the last decade, several attempts appeared to extend formal concept analysis to data with graded (fuzzy) attributes. Among these attempts, an approach based on residuated ...

In this paper, we propose an expressive concept description language, , for real world applications combining features of both Conceptual Graphs (CGs) and Description Logics (DLs). Regarding concept descriptions in CGs, namely existential, positive and conjunctive graphs, is the closure of this language under the Boolean operations. Now regarding DLs, is an extension of with graph structures in...

In 1936 Tarski sketched a rigorous definition of the concept of logical consequence which, he claimed, agreed quite well with common usage—or, as he also said, with the common concept of consequence. Commentators of Tarski’s paper have usually been elusive as to what this common concept is. However, being clear on this issue is important to decide whether Tarski’s definition failed (as Etchemen...

Concept graph is a graph in which nodes are concepts and the edges indicate the relationship between the concepts. Creation of concept graphs is a hot topic in the area of knowledge discovery. Natural Language Processing (NLP) based concept graph creation is one of the efficient but costly methods in the field of information extraction. Compared to NLP based methods, Statistical methods have tw...

The concept of drug-likeness helps to optimise pharmacokinetic and pharmaceutical properties, for example, solubility, chemical stability, bioavailability and distribution profile. A number of molecular descriptors have emerged as reasonably informative and predictive, for example, the Rule-of-Five. Here, we review some current approaches, then discuss their major shortcoming, namely the static...
