Mechanisms for overcoming semantic heterogeneity in diverse information sources are critical components of any interoperable system. In the case of diverse geographic information sources, such mechanisms present particular difficulties since the semantic structure of geographic information cannot be considered independently of its spatial structure. This paper develops an approach to the integr...

compute thematic fit for pairs relying only on distributional information (no information about semantic types) compare thematic fit differences across conditions and processing cost differences (high processing cost → low thematic fit, corresponding to 1-thematic fit in the model) verify if the computational model yields the same main effects and pairwise differences reported by t...

The task of planning in a dynamic and uncertain domain is considerably more challenging than in domains traditionally adopted by classical planning methods. Planning in real situations has to be 8 knowiedp intm ptoceu, particudarly since it is not easy to predict all the effects of one’s actions. However, many knowledge bated implementations are susceptible to brittleness. Contract bridge oRea ...
