In this paper, we describe the flexible searching and browsing tool for the telecoms learning material: the “Knowledge Navigator”. This tool was developed in the context of the European Commission sponsored project CANDLE (Collaborative and Network-based Distributed Learning Environment).

This paper shows how to achieve flexibility in design automat systems through the introduction of knowledge objects and through the adoption of an oriented view of the product structure. To demonstrate the ideas a novel tool called Howtomation Suite (for automated know-how) is presented. The new tool handles the addressed issues and has been successfully implemented at one company. That success...

The paper describes a Flexible Language Acquisition Tool (FLAT) kit, a suite of multipurpose interactive tools for developing NLP systems and/or training computational linguists. The kit facilitates the use of linguistic expertise in developing NLP applications and allows for maintaining and improving a system output without extra programming effort. It can be used for any language based on ANS...

This paper introduces LX-SenseAnnotator, a user-friendly interface tool for manual word sense annotation. The demonstration will show how input texts are loaded by the tool, the options available to the annotator for displaying and browsing texts, and how word senses are displayed and manually assigned. The flexibility of LX-SenseAnnotator, including the support of a variety of languages and th...

Abstract. Time plays an important role in our everyday’s life. For a lot of observations we make and actions we perform, temporal information is relevant. The importance of time is reflected in the development of information systems as, e.g., (temporal) database systems and data warehouse systems, which have facilities to cope with temporal data and usually manage huge collections of historical...

We present the architecture and algorithms behind Matchsimile, an approximate string matching lookup tool especially designed for extracting person and company names from large texts. Part of a larger information extraction environment, this specific engine receives a large set of proper names to search for, a text to search, and search options; and outputs all the occurrences of the names foun...
