let $g$ be a connected graph, and let $d[g]$ denote the double graph of $g$. in this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $d[g]$ in terms of that of $g$. finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topologica...

A method is proposed for quantifying differences between multichannel EEG coherence networks represented by functional unit (FU) maps. The approach is based on inexact graph matching for attributed relational graphs and graph averaging, adapted to FU maps. The mean of a set of input FU maps is defined in such a way that it not only represents the mean group coherence during a certain task or co...

Coreference resolution and semantic role labeling are NLP tasks that capture different aspects of semantics, indicating respectively, which expressions refer to the same entity, what roles serve in sentence. However, they often closely interdependent, both generally necessitate natural language understanding. Do form a coherent abstract representation documents? We present neural network archit...

GOALS AND PREMISES Chat as a communication medium has its own characteristics that need to be considered, especially regarding turn taking and interactional coherence. Following suggestions by Suthers et al. [8; 9], operational rules are used as a basis to detect general dependencies or “contingencies”. Indicators may use lexicalsemantic features but also time lapses between contributions play ...

objective: cognitive factors are the important correlates of reading disorder and their impairments are established in children with reading disorder. neurofeedback as an intervention has been reported to be useful in improvement of cognitive deficits. the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of this treatment on attentiveness and working memory and related electroencephalographic...

In this paper we argue that coherence relations between discourse units are ultimately based on mentioned discourse entities embedded in the units participating in the relation. Coherence relations as discussed in most literature ((Mann and Thompson, 1988), (Hobbs, 1985), (Grosz and Sidner, 1986) inter alia) are defined between text segments, where a text segment could range from a single utter...

In this paper we study how agents can autonomously deliberate on norms and cognitions in the context of a normative multiagent system. We propose Thagard’s cognitive theory of coherence as a tool to achieve this autonomous deliberation. Taking a proof-theoretic approach, we first provide a formalization of coherence theory, focusing on a particular type of coherence, namely deductive coherence....

Indented tree has been widely used to organize information and visualize graph-structured data like RDF graphs. Given a starting resource in a cyclic RDF graph as root, there are different ways of transforming the graph into a tree representation to be visualized as an indented tree. It would be interesting to investigate whether and how these different representations influence the user’s brow...

This paper is a contribution to the formalisation of Thagard's coherence theory. The term 'coherence' is defined as the quality or the state of cohering, especially a logical, orderly, and aesthetically consistent relationship of parts. A coherent set is interdependent such that every element in it contributes to the coherence. We take Thagard's proposal of a coherence set as that of maximising...
