Galen on Sense Perception

Few subjects are of more vital relevance to contemporary problems than that of sense perception. With the artificial extensions of vision and hearing by microscope, telescope, and the conversion of various forms of electromagnetic into sensory energy we are confronted more poignantly than ever before with the problems of the validity of sensory information. Dr. Siegel's study of Galen's views o...

Word Sense Discovery Based on Sense Descriptor Dissimilarity

In machine translation, information on word ambiguities is usually provided by the lexicographers who construct the lexicon. In this paper we propose an automatic method for word sense induction, i.e. for the discovery of a set of sense descriptors to a given ambiguous word. The approach is based on the statistics of the distributional similarity between the words in a corpus. Our algorithm wor...

Phytoremediation on Air Pollution

Air pollution has been becoming a necessary evil with rapid industrialization and urbanization around the world, after it results in kinds of human health problems, such as ophthalmic, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases (Brunekreef & Holgate, 2002; Giles et al., 2011; Gudmundsson, 2011; Jamrozik & Musk, 2011; Miller et al., 2007; Nandasena, 2010).

Experiments on Sense Annotations and Sense Disambiguation of Discourse Connectives

Discourse connectives can be analyzed as discourse level predicates which project predicate-argument structure on a par with verbs at the sentence level. The Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB) reflects this view in its design providing annotation of the discourse connectives and their arguments. Like verbs, discourse connectives have multiple senses. We present a set of manual sense annotation stud...
