This article presents a method of word sense disambiguation that assigns a target word the sense that is most related to the senses of its neighboring words. We explore the use of measures of similarity and relatedness that are based on finding paths in a concept network, information content derived from a large corpus, and word sense glosses. We observe that measures of relatedness are useful ...

The ability to capture time information is essential to many natural language processing and information retrieval applications. Therefore, a lexical resource associating word senses to their temporal orientation might be crucial for the computational tasks aiming at the interpretation of language of time in texts. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised minimum cuts strategy that makes use...

In this paper, a comparative experimental assessment of computer vision-based methods for sign language recognition is conducted. By implementing the most recent deep neural network in field, thorough evaluation on multiple publicly available datasets performed. The aim present study to provide insights recognition, focusing mapping non-segmented video streams glosses. For task, two new sequenc...

In this article, we present a comprehensive study aimed at computing semantic relatedness of word pairs. We analyze the performance of a large number of semantic relatedness measures proposed in the literature with respect to different experimental conditions, such as (i) the datasets employed, (ii) the language (English or German), (iii) the underlying knowledge source, and (iv) the evaluation...

This paper discusses Aldred’s glosses to the expanded forms of a series abbreviations (or notae) (Roman) legal terms included on fols 85r–86r Durham, Cathedral Library, MS A.iv.19. By taking novel approach work and focusing what his glossing practices can tell us about scholarly interests rather than taste for morphological semantic structures, this shows that, unlike other glossators working s...

Abstract This article examines the medieval reception history of De coloribus . pseudo-Aristotelian treatise on colors was translated from Greek into Latin in thirteenth century, but question its success and use by contemporary scholars has not yet received any attention. After an examination commentary tradition, marginal glosses, first attestations, I conclude that scarcely used West, althoug...
