Measuring semantic relatedness plays an important role in information retrieval and Natural Language Processing. However, little attention has been paid to measuring semantic relatedness between named entities, which is also very significant. As the existing knowledge based approaches have the entity coverage issue and the statistical based approaches have unreliable result to low frequent enti...

Several studies indicate that both posterior superior temporal sulcus/middle temporal gyrus (pSTS/MTG) and left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) are involved in integrating information from different modalities. Here we investigated the respective roles of these two areas in integration of action and language information. We exploited the fact that the semantic relationship between language and di...

Semantic relationships, those class-to-class connections that carry inherent support for constraints and various other functionalities, play an important role when building information models for applications. This is true whether one employs traditional data modeling techniques, knowledge-representation languages, or object-oriented modeling methodologies. An example of such a semantic relatio...

The key of zero-shot learning (ZSL) is how to find the information transfer model for bridging the gap between images and semantic information (texts or attributes). Existing ZSL methods usually construct the compatibility function between images and class labels with the consideration of the relevance on the semantic classes (the manifold structure of semantic classes). However, the relationsh...

The present research explores the relationship between the two components of autobiographical memory--episodic and semantic self-knowledge--and identity strength in older adults living in the community and residential care. Participants (N= 32) completed the autobiographical memory interview and measures of personal identity strength and multiple group memberships. Contrary to previous research...

Objectives: Wernicke’s aphasia is one of the most prominent focal brain deficits affecting the comprehension abilities of patients while preserving their production abilities. Although a lot of studies in different languages have been conducted to analyze the nature of this deficit, still some controversies exist in this regard. While some research studies attribute this defect to a performance...

In collaborative enterprise networks, semantic heterogeneity is an important factor that hinders collaboration of various information systems. Ontology-driven semantic integration is an important category of solutions for the semantic integration problem. However, in many domains, there are no explicit and formal ontologies available. This paper proposes to adopt ontological views to address su...

OBJECTIVE To develop and test a method for automatically detecting inconsistencies between the parent-child is-a relationships in the Metathesaurus and the ancestor-descendant relationships in the Semantic Network of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). METHODS We exploited the fact that each Metathesaurus concept is assigned one or more semantic types from the UMLS Semantic Network an...
