In this paper, the authors advocate in favor of using an interlingua for representing the knowledge contained in text documents. The advocated interlingua, UNL, was designed by the United Nations University to support a language independent textual representation to overcome linguistic barriers in Internet. This paper describes the main features of UNL and presents the application of this inter...

This paper proposes to use distributed representation of words (word embeddings) in cross-language textual similarity detection. The main contributions of this paper are the following: (a) we introduce new cross-language similarity detection methods based on distributed representation of words; (b) we combine the different methods proposed to verify their complementarity and finally obtain an o...

Since information has become more and more available in digital format, especially on the World Wide Web, organizing and classifying digital documents, making them accessible and presenting them in a proper way are becoming important issues. Digital Library Management Systems (DLMSs) are an example of systems that manage collections of multi-media digitalized data and include components that pe...

Time Sequence Diagrams TSDs are a graphical representation employed to clarify the communication between service users and a service provider in the ISO OSI basic reference model In this paper we de ne the syntax and semantics of a textual representation for TSDs As well we provide a method for translating TSDs into this language Furthermore some extensions of TSDs are introduced that allow som...

A sequence of one-dimensional geometric descriptions is suggested, for representing the contours of text characters (blobs) in black and white scanned textual images. This representation can be used to analytically encode alphabets of similar blobs into pseudo-fonts that are resolution independent, while simultaneously maximizing compression potential. Such a sequential one-dimensional represen...

The document titles give an important information about documents. This is why they are frequently used to obtain document keywords. We use them to determine document intentions. To obtain some textual details, we use special information extraction techniques for the construction of extra-topical representations of the documents. This representation reflects a document more completely. A possib...

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a textual markup language designed for the creation of self-describing documents. Such documents contain textual data combined with structural information describing the structure of the textual data. Currently, products and approaches for document-oriented application domains focus mainly on the textual representation when processing and analyzing documents....

this research aims to compare the capabilities of a thesaurus and an ontology for representation of domain knowledge. this is the first to focus on the construction of an ontology in library and information science (lis), in the domain of indexing and in persian language. the research also develops the methodology of ontology construction by implementing domain analysis methodology. the present...

With the increasing empirical success of distributional models of compositional semantics, it is timely to consider the types of textual logic that such models are capable of capturing. In this paper, we address shortcomings in the ability of current models to capture logical operations such as negation. As a solution we propose a tripartite formulation for a continuous vector space representat...
