Service adoption analysis is a useful instrument for reducing the risk of new service development and launch. The purpose of this study is to develop a 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic approach for assessing the intention level of service adoption. In doing so, a theoretical framework for service adoption analysis is proposed. Under this framework, a 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic approach is then proposed f...

In this paper we present a general purpose grammar for the deep linguistic processing of Portuguese that delivers high precision grammatical analysis and detailed meaning representations. We present the main design features and evaluation results concerning the grammar’s coverage as well as its ability to produce correct grammatical analyses.

The theory of multiple intelligences, developed by psychologist Howard Gardner in the late 1970's and early 1980's, posits that individuals possess eight or more relatively autonomous intelligences. Individuals draw on these intelligences, individually and corporately, to create products and solve problems that are relevant to the societies in which they live (Gardner, 1999). According to Gardn...

We present the ILIAD project and its current results. ILIAD aims at combining statistic and linguistic approaches in order to analyse information in large documentary databases. The resulting analysis should enable a human operator to collect the information content of a set of texts without having to read it sequentially. Our current experimentation concerns the analysis of a set of abstracts ...

This study examines the relation between the linguistic features of freewrites and human assessments of freewriting quality. This study builds upon the authors’ previous studies in which a model was developed based on the linguistic features of freewrites written by 9 and 11 grade students to predict freewrite quality. The current study reexamines this model using number of propositions as a pr...

Semantic relations are an important element in the construction of ontology-based linguistic resources and models of problem domains. Nevertheless, they remain under-specified. This is a pervasive problem in both Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Thus, we find semantic links that can have multiple interpretations, abstractions that are not enough to represent the relation richne...

is special track is a forum for discussing the latest approaches in computational linguistics related to cognitive semantics and to artificial intelligence. Its aim is also to exchange ideas concerning the way of building efficient systems for language analysis based on cognitive semantic models. e ST contributions can be briefly characterized as follows: from logic, by lexical meaning and sy...
