This research employs free model that uses only sentential features without paragraph context to extract topic sentences of a paragraph. For finding optimal combination of features, corpus-based classification is used for constructing a sentence classifier as the model. The sentence classifier is trained by using Support Vector Machine (SVM). The experiment shows that position and meta-discours...

A translation of abductive language interpretation problems into a deductive form is proposed and shown to be correct. No meta-level overhead is involved in the resulting formulas that can be evaluated by bottom-up deduction, e.g., by considering them as Constraint Handling Rules. The problem statement may involve background theories with integrity constraints, and minimal contexts are produced...

The distinction between a meta-and an object-language has become increasingly familiar in information science, through the diffusion of the concept of metadata. A significant antecedent can be found in the development of formal logic. This paper proposes an analogous distinction for information retrieval research, between discourse about and transformations within systems. The aim is to obtain ...

This paper uses the concept of discourse i.e. semiotic elements of social practices to define money. It explores a way in which money requires discourse in order to be money. Before proceeding to investigate money, however, the following methodological points need to be considered: 1. Why discourse? 2. What is and what is not discourse? 3. How does discourse work with money? This paper focuses ...
