The development of machine learning in particular and artificial intelligent in general has been strongly conditioned by the lack of an appropriated framework to specify and integrate learning processes, data transformation processes and data models. In this work we extend traditional algebraic specification methods to this type of framework. Limits and colimits of diagrams are universal constr...

this paper is concerned with the analysis of the spoken language of teenagers, taken from a newly developed specialised corpus the british and taiwanese teenage intercultural communication corpus (batticc). more specifically, the study employs a discourse analytical approach to examine vague language in an intercultural context among a group of british and taiwanese adolescents, paying particul...

We provide a first order axiomatization of the expansion of the complex field by the exponential function restricted to the subring of integers modulo the first order theory of (Z, +, ·). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 03C60

Let G be a connected bipartite graph. We present an approach to the computation of the canonical module of the edge subring associated to G using linear programming. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
