Formal specification methods have not been embraced wholeheartedly by the software development industry. We believe that a large part of industry’s reluctance is due to semantic gaps that are encountered when attempting to integrate formal specification with other stages of the software development process. Semantic gaps necessitate a dramatic shift in a programmer’s mode of thought, and underg...

In this paper, the requirements on semantic representations in spoken dialogue systems are discussed. It is argued that spoken dialogue needs a special treatment when it comes to natural language processing, since the phenomena that occur in spoken language are not the same as those that occur in written language. These special properties of spoken language are outlined and the different aspect...

translation is an active process in which a meaning is transferred from a source to a target language. during this process, meaning must have accordance with two main semantic sub-systems: signification and evaluation. signification is related to a signified unit of a linguistic sign and its encompassing properties known as seme. however, evaluation includes a range of different actualizations ...

In this event-related brain potential (ERP) study, we examined how semantic and referential aspects of anaphoric noun phrase resolution interact during discourse comprehension. We used a full factorial design that crossed referential ambiguity with semantic incoherence. Ambiguous anaphors elicited a sustained negative shift (Nref effect), and incoherent anaphors elicited an N400 effect. Simulta...

this study investigated the effect of using visual aids, semantic elaboration, and visual aids plus semantic elaboration on the iranian efl learners' vocabulary learning. to conduct the study, the researchers assigned 49 elementary learners to three homogeneous groups according to their proficiency level. then, a pre-test of paribakht and wesche's vocabulary knowledge scale was given ...

the immense extent and richness of arabic lexical resources which bring about a great semantic extension, emerge in different ways, one of which is sobriquet. arabs used “alam” (proper noun) in three different forms, namely sobriquet, nickname and noun. in certain cases and due to rhetoric and semantic reasons, arabs used sobriquet instead of noun or nickname. gradually, this application became...

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is an effective method to perform the recognition task without any training samples of specific classes. Most existing ZSL models put emphasis on embedding between visual space and semantic directly. However, few research whether human-designed features are discriminative enough recognize different Moreover, one-way mapping suffers from project domain shift problem. In ...

Learning a common latent embedding by aligning the spaces of cross-modal autoencoders is an effective strategy for Generalized Zero-Shot Classification (GZSC). However, due to lack fine-grained instance-wise annotations, it still easily suffer from domain shift problem discrepancy between visual representation diversified images and semantic fixed attributes. In this paper, we propose innovativ...

Semantic localization (SeLo) refers to the task of obtaining most relevant locations in large-scale remote sensing (RS) images using semantic information such as text. As an emerging based on cross-modal retrieval, SeLo achieves semantic-level retrieval with only caption-level annotation, which demonstrates its great potential unifying downstream tasks. Although has been carried out successivel...
