We present an algorithm for computing the semantic similarity between two sentences. It adopts the hypothesis that semantic similarity is a monotonically increasing function of the degree to which (1) the two sentences contain similar semantic units, and (2) such units occur in similar semantic contexts. With a simplistic operationalization of the notion of semantic units with individual words,...

The emerging function of verb in ections in German language acquisition is modeled with a connectionist network. A network that is initially presented only with a semantic representation of sentences uses the in ectional verb ending -t to mark those sentences that are low in transitivity, whereas all other verb endings occur randomly. This behavior matches an early stage in German language acqu...

abstract the word science has gone through semantic change in different historical periods and in relation to the cultural and social circumstances of the time and thus has been used in various senses. a semantic study of word in the pre- and post-islamic eras will reveal that the word has been used in different and even opposite senses. this means that, in the age of ignorance (pre-islamic era...

the ability to discover services in mobile ad hoc network (manet) is a major prerequisite. cluster basedcross layer intelligent service discovery for manet (cbisd) is cluster based architecture, caching ofsemantic details of services and intelligent forwarding using network layer mechanisms. the cluster basedarchitecture using semantic knowledge provides scalability and accuracy. also, the mini...

this study has examined the effect of semantic mapping on learning vocabulary across genders. the researchers selected 120 intermediate students after the administration of a standard proficiency test. a vocabulary test was also used to measure the students’ vocabulary knowledge. the experimental group received semantic mapping in the pre-reading stage, butthe control group did not receive this...

Objectives: The brain’s widespread neural functions lead to aphasia in which the patients experience difficulties in cognitive and language functions. Memory, type, and severity of aphasia are associated with language and the naming process. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between memory, type, and severity of aphasia using the confrontation naming test in post-stroke pat...

The increasing reliance on information gathered from the web and other internet technologies raise the issue of trust. Through the development of semantic Web, One major difficulty is that, by its very nature, the semantic web is a large, uncensored system to which anyone may contribute. This raises the question of how much credence to give each resource. Each user knows the trustworthiness of ...

Background: Knowing the development pattern of children’s language is applicable in developmental psychology. Network models of language are helpful for the identification of these patterns.  Objectives: We examined the small-world properties of featured semantic networks of developing children. Materials & Methods: In this longitudinal study, the featured semantic networks of children aged 1...
