The present research has been conducted in two quantitative and qualitative sections. In the qualitative section, and based on Grounded Theory, the organizational social coherence model was presented. In the quantitative section, the data obtained from the questionnaires was analyzed at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics including structural equations and through the SPSS and ...

Internet can be seen as a network of peers that store digital representations of entities from the real world (e.g., person, locations, events). Different peers locally represent different “versions” (i.e., different points of view) of the same real world entity. In these different versions, entities are normally identified by multiple (possibly different) names. We propose a distributed entity...

Representing world knowledge in a machine processable format is important as entities and their descriptions have fueled tremendous growth in knowledge-rich information processing platforms, services, and systems. Prominent applications of knowledge graphs include search engines (e.g., Google Search and Microsoft Bing), email clients (e.g., Gmail), and intelligent personal assistants (e.g., Goo...

Background: Job performance is one of the most fundamental concepts in organizations, based on which, the responsibilities and success of each individual in the organization are formed.  The main objective of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and professional ethics, and the job perfor...

previous research has identified the nominal group as the most distinctive feature of the research article title. in contrast, the findings reported in this paper suggest theme/rheme is the dominant structure in title text. theme/rheme structures order and tie nominal groups in titles. when a title starts with a methodological term the first position nominal group acts as a theme marker. thus, ...

We examine the problem of entity ranking using opinions expressed in users' reviews. There is a massive development of opinions and reviews on the web, which includes reviews of products and services, and opinions about events and persons. For products especially, there are thousands of users' reviews, that consumers usually consult before proceeding in a purchase. In this study we are followin...

In this thesis, we explore the use of comparison in descriptions of entities. We postulate that entity description is largely a process of comparison with and distinction from familiar and similar entities in order to maximise the hearer's conceptual coherence of that entity, and to prevent the hearer from forming misconceptions about that entity. The process of producing a description of an en...

Coherence that ties sentences of a text into a meaningfully connected structure is of great importance to text generation and translation. In this paper, we propose a topic-based coherence model to produce coherence for document translation, in terms of the continuity of sentence topics in a text. We automatically extract a coherence chain for each source text to be translated. Based on the ext...

We apply a memory-based learner to the CoNLL-2002 shared task: language-independent named entity recognition. We use three additional techniques for improving the base performance of the learner: cascading, feature selection and system combination. The overall system is trained with two types of features: words and substrings of words which are relevant for this particular task. It is tested on...
