One relevant way to structure the domain of lexical knowledge (complex terms, or relations between lexical units) acquisition from corpora is to oppose numerical versus symbolic techniques. Numerical approaches of acquisition exploit the frequential aspect of data, and use statistical techniques, while symbolic approaches exploit the structural aspect of data, and use structural or symbolic inf...

This paper defines and studies the use of query by example (QBE) in the context of photograph retrieval. The novelty of our approach lies in considering an automatic indexing process of photographs as well as a representation of the features of image regions in a single knowledge representation formalism. Both symbolic and feature based representation are used during the query by example proces...

Linking a symbol to the object it represents is a skill that develops gradually over the first few years of life. However, prior work shows that frequent use of this capacity makes it unintuitive for adults to recognize it as a challenge for young children. We hypothesized that this disconnect would manifest in software interfaces designed for young children, such that applications would embed ...

Examining the planning of cemeteries in the urbanism system of Iran does not show a goodcondition. In fact, cemeteries in the most Persian cities have become large-scale open spaces outside the city. This couldcause irreparable damage to the cities because of the partial and/or improper use of the capacity of urban lands. Alongwith this, historical cemeteries within the cities have been abandon...

Ramscar and colleagues (2010, this volume) describe the "feature-label-order" (FLO) effect on category learning and characterize it as a constraint on symbolic learning. I argue that FLO is neither a constraint on symbolic learning in the sense of "learning elements of a symbol system" (instead, it is an effect on nonsymbolic, association learning) nor is it, more than any other constraint on c...

This paper presents an algorithm for fast large-change sensitivity computation for approximate symbolic analysis. The sensitivity is used for identifying negligible elements of circuit model that can be removed in order to simplify symbolic solution. The method is based on combination of the Sherman-Morison formula and sparse matrix techniques. Effectiveness of the method was tested on several ...

This long-lasting point in his life due to economic developments, social and cultural development of the Industrial Revolution, the foundation has been transformed. Today, the need for rehabilitation and restoration of these islands what the city increases, the need to develop a coherent and logical connection between the old and new areas to preserve and enhance the integrity and identity of...
