In this paper we propose a new cause-effect non-symmetric measure applied to the task of Recognizing Textual Entailment .First we searched over a big corpus for sentences which contains the discourse marker “because” and collected cause-effect pairs. The entailment recognition is based on measure the cause-effect relation between the text and the hypothesis using the relative frequencies of wor...

Resumen. En este artículo describimos nuestro enfoque para la asignación de sintaxis concreta tanto gráfica como textual a Lenguajes Específicos de Dominio (LEDs). Nuestra aproximación consiste en definir un meta-modelo que describe la sintaxis abstracta del LED, a cuyos elementos se puede asignar una visualización gráfica. Para asignarles una sintaxis textual se ha construido un meta-modelo co...

In this paper, we discuss different methods which use meta information and richer context that may accompany source language input to improve machine translation quality. We focus on category information of input text as meta information, but the proposed methods can be extended to all textual and non-textual meta information that might be available for the input text or automatically predicted...

Several studies have proposed meta-models for textual representations of use cases. Each of these meta-models has different goals and viewpoints, with either varying concepts and relationships or different semantics for the same concept. In Model-Driven Engineering approaches where there is no compatible proposal or a more appropriate viewpoint, or where there is no intention to limit the appro...

In this demo we focus on cross-modal (visual and textual) e-commerce search within the fashion domain. Particularly, we demonstrate two tasks: 1) given a query image (without any accompanying text), we retrieve textual descriptions that correspond to the visual attributes in the visual query; and 2) given a textual query that may express an interest in specific visual characteristics, we retrie...

Intelligent, context sensitive content assist (also known as code completion) plays an important role in the effectiveness of model editors. This is not only true for textual language notations, but also for graphical notations that often contain a significant amount of textual elements. This paper presents techniques to describe content assists for meta-model based textual model editors. We sh...

Today’s information retrieval applications have become increasingly complex. The Social Book Search (SBS) lab at CLEF 2015 allows evaluating retrieval methods on a complex search task with several textual and non-textual meta-data fields. The challenge is to incorporate the different information types (modalities) into a single ranked list. We build a strong textual baseline and combine it with...
