In this article we propose an agent-based solution for enabling paradigm shift from CRM (Customer Relationship Management) to CMR (Customer-Managed Relationship). Namely, Telco Agent is a software agent which represents telecom operator in interactions with its customers. Customers provide Telco Agent with their profiles and afterwards Telco Agent uses its mechanisms for semantic matchmaking of...

In this article we will outline two different vocabularies, both extensions of the lemon model, for representing diachronic lexicosemantic data on the Semantic Web. This is especially useful for representing the evolution of scientific terminologies where many terms are polysemous and or imported from other languages. The first vocabulary, polyLemon, allows for the representation of data about ...

The incorporation of video into our computing environment will change the way we interact with computers as much as the shift from alphanumeric terminals to graphical user interfaces. To realize this vision, video must become as accessible in our computing environment as text and images are today. Because video has different semantic, storage, and timing requirements, the realization of truly p...

However, SMR theories were formulated when the dominant theory of communication was the code model. Consequently they presumed that meaning was determined almost entirely by a text (utterance) itself. This theory is now rejected in favor of theories that understand interpretation as the inferential product of the interaction of the text with (mind-mediated) context. These newer theories shift t...

Objectives: Semantic Feature Analysis was designed to improve lexical retrieval of aphasic patients via activation of semantic networks of the words. In this approach, the anomic patients are cured with semantic information to assist oral naming. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Semantic Feature Analysis treatment on anomia of two nonfluent aphasic patients. Methods: A...

Meaning-Shift unit put forward by John Sinclair is the latest theory of meaning in corpus linguistics early 21st century. In this paper, it aims to analyze units wanquan, an attempt shed light on whether valid account for behavior such a Chinese intensifier. The result illustrates that influenced categories co-selection, which semantic prosody plays decisive role, and wanquan has four types uni...

Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

traditional and modern vocabulary instruction techniques have been introduced in the past few decades to improve the learners’ performance in reading comprehension. semantic mapping, which entails drawing learners’ attention to the interrelationships among lexical items through graphic organizers, is claimed to enhance vocabulary learning significantly. however, whether this technique suits all...
