The real difficulty in development of practical NLP systems comes from the fact that we do not have effective means for gathering "knowledge". In this paper, we propose an algorithm which acquires automatically knowledge of semantic collocations among "words" from sample corpora. The algorithm proposed in this paper tries to discover semantic collocations which will be useful for disambiguating...

today’s world economy situation forces enterprise organizations toward more soft and flexible organization, management, and production processes. they need to explore the most suitable knowledge management (km) tool not only to identify gaps and overlaps but also to maintain and support innovation cross organizations. in this study, a multiple-experts-multiple-criteria decision making model is ...

This study draws on a comparative framework to evaluate the translation of political implications in three Persian translations of the novellaAnimal Farm (by George Orwell), using  Fairclough’scritical discourse analysis (CDA) model. The study regards political implications and ideologies as a mode of background knowledge shared by writers and audiences in the source language. Fairclough’s mode...

We focus on the following question: given the causal and temporal relations between events in a knowledge base, what are the ways they can be described in extended text? We argue that we want to be able to generate laconic text, where certain temporal information remains implicit but pragmatically inferrable. An algorithm for generating laconic text is proposed, interleaving abduction and nonmo...

In this paper, we present CogNet, a knowledge base (KB) dedicated to integrating three types of knowledge: (1) linguistic from FrameNet, which schematically describes situations, objects and events. (2) world YAGO, Freebase, DBpedia Wikidata, provides explicit about specific instances. (3) commonsense ConceptNet, implicit general facts. To model these different consistently, introduce three-lev...

The paper featuresMAVE, a knowledge-based system for answer validation through deep linguistic processing and logical inference. A relaxation loop is used to determine a robust indicator of logical entailment. The system not only validates answers directly, but also gathers evidence by proving the original question and comparing results with the answer candidate. This method boosts recall by up...

abstract Keywords: temporal processing, temporal extraction, tense, aspect, hybrid approaches, deep linguistic processing, shallow linguistic processing The full-fledged processing of temporal information presents specific challenges. These difficulties largely stem from the fact that the temporal meaning conveyed by grammatical means interacts with many extra-linguistic factors (world knowledg...
