Appraising Information in Machine Language Form

Annotating Websites with Machine-processable Information in Controlled Natural Language

In this paper we present a user friendly approach to annotate websites with machine-processable information in controlled natural language. The controlled natural language serves as a high-level specification and knowledge representation language which allows human annotators to summarise individual web pages of a website and to express domain-specific ontological knowledge about that website i...

NEW INFORMATION ON THE FORM-GENUS CYTOSPORA IN IRAN (I)

In order to study of the form-genus Cytospora, around 400 specimens were collected from all over the Iran during 2003-2005. In this paper, the first part of the obtained results, including seven form-species are presented. Cytospora atrocirrhata, C. carbonacea, C. gutnerae, C. nivea and C. rosarum are reported as new members for mycoflora of Iran. Also, Vitis vinifera for C. leucostoma and Celt...

Applying Machine Translation to Two-Stage Cross-Language Information Retrieval

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in di erent languages, needs a translation of queries and/or documents, so as to standardize both of them into a common representation. For this purpose, the use of machine translation is an e ective approach. However, computational cost is prohibitive in translating large-scale document collections. To resolve this pr...

Applying Machine Translation to Two-Stage Cross-Language Information

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in different languages, needs a translation of queries and/or documents, so as to standardize both of them into a common representation. For this purpose, the use of machine translation is an effective approach. However, computational cost is prohibitive in translating large-scale document collections. To resolve this ...
