Besides all the attention given to lattice constructions, it is common to find some very interesting nonlattice constellations, as Construction C, for example, which also has relevant applications in communication problems (multi-level coding, multi-stage decoding, good quantization efficieny). In this work we present a constellation which is a subset of Construction C, based on inter-level cod...

This paper describes our contribution to the SemEval-2015 task 17 on “Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation”. We propose a hypernym detection system combining three modules: a lexico-syntactic pattern matcher, a morphosyntactic analyzer and a module retrieving hypernym relations from structured lexical resources. Our system ranked first in the competition when considering the gold standard and manual ...

This paper describes an investigation that compared and contrasted Context-based Reasoning (CxBR) and Contextual Graphs (CxG), two paradigms used to represent human intelligence. The specific objectives were to increase understanding of both paradigms, identifying which, if either, excels at a particular function, and to look for potential synergism amongst them. We study these paradigms throug...
