1. I n t r o d u c t i o n While communicative intention certainly plays a role in language generation, we have fimnd that there is a need for textual and rhetorical relations as well in our document generation system, PLANDoc. PLANDoc will produce multi-page narratives describing the activities of telephone network planning engineers. These narratives will be read by managers and auditors as w...

The paper presents a study on the translation into Portuguese of the demonstrative pronoun this, whenever used as an anaphor. The study relies on the analysis of a sample of tokens collected in a parallel English-Portuguese bilingual corpus containing literary texts and international law texts, as well as technical and scientific materials. Only tokens appearing in texts originally produced in ...

This paper proposes a knowledge representation model and a logic proving setting with axioms on demand successfully used for recognizing textual entailments. It also details a lexical inference system which boosts the performance of the deep semantic oriented approach on the RTE data. The linear combination of two slightly different logical systems with the third lexical inference system achiev...

In the paper, we describe the process of mining real-estate listings based on decision systems over ontological graphs. Such decision systems have been proposed to deal with data in the form of concepts linked by different semantic relations. A special attention is focused on preprocessing steps transforming advertisements in the textual form into decision systems (decision tables) defined over...

In this paper we present a novel technique for integrating lexical-semantic knowledge in systems for learning textual entailment recognition rules: the typed anchors. These describe the semantic relations between words across an entailment pair. We integrate our approach in the cross-pair similarity model. Experimental results show that our approach increases performance of cross-pair similarit...

We present two original methods for recognizing textual inference. First, is a modified resolution method, used in theorem proving, such that some linguistic considerations are introduced in unification of two atoms. Some recent methods of transforming texts in logic forms are used. Second, is based on semantic relations in text, as presented in WordNet. Both methods provide comparable results.

introduction: with the increasing role of the internet as one of the most important sources of information on the one hand, and the enhancement of its usability on the other, it is necessary for web designers and developers to be familiar with the criteria that make a website usable. therefore, this paper aimed to provide knowledge about the interactivity, changeability , and non-textual conten...
