To resolve some of lexical disagreement problems between queries and FAQs, we propose a reliable FAQ retrieval system using query log clustering. On indexing time, the proposed system clusters the logs of users queries into predefined FAQ categories. To increase the precision and the recall rate of clustering, the proposed system adopts a new similarity measure using a machine readable dictiona...

Being language a paradigm of structural and functional asymmetry in cognitive processing, the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus has been consistently related to speech production. In fact, it considered key node cortical networks responsible for different components naming. However, isolating these (e.g., lexical, syntactic, phonological retrieval) neuroimaging studies is difficult due use baselines ...

The nature of the relationship between language, working memory and auditory-verbal memory seems to remain unclear and classical language and memory models appear to view these skills as completely separate modules. Language processing models consider the existence of devices or buffers which store linguistic information. Levelt [1] describes a short-term memory device called the articulatory b...

Image retrieval systems play a key role in big image database systems. User may search for the image using keywords, phrases or image itself. CBIR approaches helps to retrieve image based on the contents or features of the image. RBIR approach helps to retrieve images based on the regions.The images retrieved using RBIR have more close similarity with human approaches.But the semantic gap still...

This paper presents the application of a multi-scale paradigm to Chinese spoken document retrieval (SDR) for improving retrieval performance. Multi-scale refers to the use of both words and subwords for retrieval. Words are basic units in a language that carry lexical meaning and subword units (such as phonemes, syllables or characters) are building components for words. Retrieval using subword...

thesaurus is one, out of many, precious tool in information technology by which information specialists can optimize storage and retrieval of documents in scientific databases and on the web. in recent years, there has been a shift from thesaurus to ontology by downgrading thesaurus in favor of ontology. it is because thesaurus cannot meet the needs of information management because it cannot c...

In text, lexical cohesion is the result of chains of related words that contribute to the continuity of lexical meaning. These lexical chains are a direct result of units of text being "about the same thing," and finding text structure involves finding units of text that are about the same thing. Hence, computing the chains is useful, since they will have a correspondence to the structure of th...
