TAXONOMY OF BUDGETARY RELATIONS

Time Representation: A Taxonomy of Internal Relations

James Allen in [AZZ2] formulated a calculus of convex time intervals, which is being applied to commonsense reasoning by Allen, Pat Hayes, Henry Kautz and others [AZZKuu, AZZHay]. For many purposes in AI, we need more general time intervals. We present a taxonomy of important binary relations between intervals which are unions of convex intervals, and we provide examples of these relations appl...

A Taxonomy of Part-Whole Relations

A taxonomy of port-whole or meronymic relations is developed to explain the ordinary English-speaker’s use of the term “part of” and its cognates. The resulting clossificotion yields six types of meronymic relotions: 1. component-integral object (pedal-bike). 2. member-collection (ship-fleet), 3. portion-mass (slice-pie), 4. stuff-object (steel-car). 5. feature-activity (poying-shopping), and 6...

Ensemble Learning of Economic Taxonomy Relations from Modern Greek Corpora

This paper proposes the use of ensemble learning for the identification of taxonomic relations between Modern Greek economic terms. Unlike previous approaches, apart from is-a and part-of relations, the present work deals also with relation types that are characteristic of the economic domain. Semantic and syntactic information governing the term pairs is encoded in a novel feature-vector repre...

Representing and reasoning over a taxonomy of part-whole relations

Many types of part-whole relations have been proposed in the literature to aid the conceptual modeller to choose the most appropriate type, but many of those relations lack a formal specification to give clear and unambiguous semantics to them. To remedy this, a formal taxonomy of types of mereological and meronymic part-whole relations is presented that distinguishes between transitive and int...
