Prior work by Gonnerman and colleagues presented a theory of semantic processing in normal and impaired populations. Their account incorporates distributed representations and predicts a complex relationship between semantic knowledge and naming ability. According to this account, during the course of progressive brain damage, one should observe different relationships between damage to semanti...

The regular and irregular past tense has become a focus for recent debates about the structure of the language processing system, asking whether language functions are subserved by different neural and functional mechanisms or whether all processes can be accommodated within a single unified system. A critical claim of leading single mechanism accounts is that the relationship between an irregu...

Office applications are becoming a major pillar of today’s organizations since they are used to edit a vast amount of digital documents. Finding these office documents from disparate data sources that fit users’ need is an essential task in conducting organization activities. Traditional search tools that employ keyword and phrase matching between the query and search index alone tend to offer ...

This paper presents an approach for the interactive discovery of relationships between selected elements via the Semantic Web. It emphasizes the human aspect of relationship discovery by offering sophisticated interaction support. Selected elements are first semi-automatically mapped to unique objects of Semantic Web datasets. These datasets are then crawled for relationships which are presente...

We use the Ford-Bellman algorithm to construct feasible class cardinality functions for a given semantic entity relationship scheme (SER scheme). Further we show that these functions form a distributive lattice under a natural ordering. Finally we present an algorithm to construct the minimum element of this lattice which can be interpreted as the class cardinality function of a realizer of min...

Thanks to the idea of social collaboration, Wikipedia has accumulated vast amount of semistructured knowledge in which the link structure reflects human’s cognition on semantic relationship to some extent. In this paper, we proposed a novel method RCRank to jointly compute conceptconcept relatedness and concept-category relatedness base on the assumption that information carried in concept-conc...
