Virtually all the commonly-used evaluation metrics for entity coreference resolution are linguistically agnostic, treating the mentions to be clustered as generic rather than linguistic objects. We argue that the performance of an entity coreference resolver cannot be accurately reflected when it is evaluated using linguistically agnostic metrics. Consequently, we propose a framework for incorp...

The paper focuses on business domain modeling as part of requirements engineering in software development projects. Domain modeling concerns obtaining and modeling the language (concepts, terminologies; ontologies) used by stakeholders to talk about a domain. Achieving conceptual clarity and consensus among stakeholders is an important yet often neglected part of requirements engineering. Domai...

Spatial Logics and Spatial Language. The system of Euclidean geometry is defined by geometrical axioms with points and lines as primitive entities [Hilbert, 1899, Tarski, 1959]. It provides the ground for spatial logics, a formal language used for describing geometrical entities and configurations [Aiello et al., 2007], interpreted over a class of geometric structures. These structures can be a...

However, little is known about culturally and linguistically diverse family caregivers in utilising dementia services in Australia because previous studies mainly focused on the majority cultural group. Experiences of ca...

A linguistically motivated approach to indexing, that is the provision of descriptive terms for texts of any kind, is presented and illustrated. The approach is designed to achieve good, i.e. accurate and flexible, indexing by identifying index term sources in the meaning representations built by a powerful general purpose analyser, and providing a range of text expressions constituting semanti...
