Roman Jakobson's three-fold classification of translation is recognized as a turning point in studies. Though its legacy endures, the present day it becomes necessary to reconsider this due evolving definition text. The following attempts by later scholars his threefold taxonomy are significant demonstrate "Jakobson’s tripartition not sufficient for discerning cultural variety processes, althou...

Most Web-based Q/A systems work by finding pages that contain an explicit answer to a question. These systems are helpless if the answer has to be inferred from multiple sentences, possibly on different pages. To solve this problem, we introduce the HOLMES system, which utilizes textual inference (TI) over tuples extracted from text. Whereas previous work on TI (e.g., the literature on textual ...

In this paper, we present a novel approach in automatic discourse segmentation without a full semantic understanding. In order to analyse the textual bonds and determine the degree of coherence that a discourse may exhibit, we first represent the tremendous diversity of textual relations into a discourse network. A set of mutual linguistic constraints that largely determines the similarity of m...

A novel approach to supervised learning, called Lattice Machine , was proposed in 5]. In the Lattice Machine, it was assumed that data are structured as relations. In this paper we investigate the application of the Lattice Machine in the area of text classiication, where textual data are unstructured. We represent a set of textual documents as a collection of Boolean feature vectors, where eac...

In this paper, we address a problem of managing tagged images with hybrid summarization. We formulate this problem as finding a few image exemplars to represent the image set semantically and visually, and solve it in a hybrid way by exploiting both visual and textual information associated with images. We propose a novel approach, called homogeneous and heterogeneous message propagation (HMP)....

INTRODUCTION Several studies have begun to explore medical students' understandings of professionalism generally and medical professionalism specifically. Despite espoused relationships between academic (AP) and medical professionalism (MP), previous research has not yet investigated students' conceptualisations of AP and MP and the relationships between the two. OBJECTIVES The current study,...

This paper addresses a subtask of relation extraction, namely Relation Validation. Relation validation can be described as follows: given an instance of a relation and a relevant text fragment, the system is asked to decide whether this instance is true or not. Instead of following the common approaches of using statistical or context features directly, we propose a method based on textual enta...

Classifying and identifying semantic relations between facts and opinions on the Web is of utmost importance for organizing information on the Web, however, this requires consideration of a broader set of semantic relations than are typically handled in Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE), Cross-document Structure Theory (CST), and similar tasks. In this paper, we describe the construction and...

Argumentation in a scientific article is composed of unexpressed and explicit statements of old and new knowledge combined into a logically coherent textual argument. Discourse relations, linguistic coherence relations that connect discourse segments, help to communicate an argument’s logical steps. A biomedical relation exhibits a relationship between biomedical entities. In this paper, we are...
