The SENSEVAL-3 task to perform word-sense disambiguation of WordNet glosses was designed to encourage development of technology to make use of standard lexical resources. The task was based on the availability of sensedisambiguated hand-tagged glosses created in the eXtended WordNet project. The hand-tagged glosses provided a “gold standard” for judging the performance of automated disambiguati...

An approach to the word sense disambiguation (WSD) relaying on the WordNet synsets is proposed. The method uses semantically tagged glosses to perform a process similar to the spreading activation in semantic network, creating ranking of the most probable meanings for word annotation. Preliminary evaluation shows quite promising results. Comparison with the state-of-theart WSD methods indicates...

We introduce Wiktionary as an emerging lexical semantic resource that can be used as a substitute for expert-made resources in AI applications. We evaluate Wiktionary on the pervasive task of computing semantic relatedness for English and German by means of correlation with human rankings and solving word choice problems. For the first time, we apply a concept vector based measure to a set of d...

diabetes is considered as a global affecting disease with an increasing contribution to both mortality rate and cost damage in the society. therefore, tight control of blood glucose levels has gained significant attention over the decades. this paper proposes a method for blood glucose level regulation in type 1 diabetics. the control strategy is based on combining the fuzzy logic theory and si...

Background and Aims: Production of acoustic cavitation by sonication has been recently recommended as a targeted treatment. The experimental results from studies indicate that the activity of cavitation generated by bi- or multi-frequency ultrasound irradiation is higher than that caused by single frequency irradiation. In this study, effects dual (1 MHz and 40 kHz) and single frequency soni...

The present study examined the effect of multimedia glosses on foreign language listening comprehension. To this end, 94 male students studying at Rasa English Institute in Tehran were selected for the treatment. The participants consisted of three groups, and each group was randomly assigned to one of the following treatment conditions: textual, pictorial, and textual-pictorial glossing....
