The distance or similarity metric plays an important role in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of a number of metrics such as the Jaccard coefficient, especially in synonym acquisition. While the existing metrics perform quite well, to further improve performance, we propose the use of a supervised machine learning algorithm that ...

We propose a new method for translation acquisition which uses a set of synonyms to acquire translations from comparable corpora. The motivation is that, given a certain query term, it is often possible for a user to specify one or more synonyms. Using the resulting set of query terms has the advantage that we can overcome the problem that a single query term’s context vector does not always re...

We present a strategy and the early results of the mapping of plWordNet – one of the largest such language resources in existence – onto Princeton WordNet. The fundamental structural premise of plWordNet differs from those of most other wordnets: lexical units rather than synsets are the basic building blocks. The addition of new material to plWordNet is consistently informed by semantic relati...

The paper presents an overview of an attempt at the semantic classification of adjectives in the Bulgarian Wordnet based on the information that is already available in WordNet, and other classifications proposed in the literature (classifications in the linguistic literature for Bulgarian and approaches implemented by other wordnets, more precisely, the Wordnet for German). The proposed approa...

We follow the rules: D is a non empty set, f1, f2 are finite sequences of elements of D, and i, n, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6 are natural numbers. We now state two propositions: (1) If n ¬ len f1, then (f1 a f2)⇂n = ((f1)⇂n) a f2. (2) (f1 a f2)↾(len f1 + i) = f1 a (f2↾i). A Gene-Set is a non-empty non empty finite sequence. Let S be a Gene-Set. We introduce GA− SpaceS as a synonym of UnionS. Let f ...

According to the related literature and some taxonomic websites, it was proven that Dianthus liboschitzianus D. erinaceus (var. erinaceus) are valid names, which accepted as a synonym. It determined var. alpinus not is taxon, synonym under webbianus. Furthermore, lectotypes were for masmenaeus glabrescens, typed by being based on more than one specimen.

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperPP) is characterized by attacks of flaccid limb weakness (which may also include weakness of the muscles of the eyes, throat, and trunk), hyperkalemia (serum potassium concentration >5 mmol/L) or an increase of serum potassium concentration of at least 1.5 mmol/L during an attack of weakness and/or provoking/worsening of an attack by oral potassium intake, ...
