Search engines return thousands of pages per query. Many of them are relevant to the“query words”but not interesting to the “users”due to different domain-specific meanings of the query terms. Re-classification of the returned documents based on domain specific meanings of the query terms would therefore be most effective. A cross domain entropy (CDE) measure is proposed to extract characterist...

Carbon has been described as a ‘surreal commodity.’ While carbon trading, storage, sequestration, and emissions have become a part of the contemporary climate lexicon, how carbon is understood, valued, and interpreted by actors responsible for implementing carbon sequestration projects is still unclear. In this review paper, we are concerned with how carbon has come to take on a range of meanin...

For example, long after how to roller-"skate", one may learn that "skate" is also a kind of fish. Such learning of new meanings for familiar words involves two potentially contrasting processes, relative to new form-new meaning learning: 1) Form-based familiarity may facilitat...

• To what extent are semantic tagsets language-specific? • What should be the relationship between lexicai meanings of the language and semantic tags? • Are semantic tags necessarily hierarchically organized? If so, what should tag hierarchies look like? • What are the main methodologies available for the construction of semantic tagsets? • Can semantic tagsets, which are language-specific, be ...

Research investigating hemispheric asymmetries in meaning selection using homophonic homographs (e.g., bank), suggests that the left hemisphere (LH) quickly selects contextually relevant meanings, whereas the right hemisphere (RH) maintains a broader spectrum of meanings including those that are contextually irrelevant (e.g., Faust & Chiarello, 1998). The present study investigated cerebral asy...

The world is too complex to manage without radical functional simplification. Meaning appears to exist as the basis for such simplification. The meaning that guides functional simplification may be usefully considered as consisting of three classes. The first class consists of meanings of the determinate world. These are meanings based in motivation, emotion, and personal and social identity. F...
