Nevertheless, sizable proportion world’s languages adhere pattern with following verb, and such negators are typically morphologically bound. existence this pattern, unfavorable functional perspective...

We present a system which combines logical inference with a semantic calculus producing normalised semantic representations that are robust to surface di erences which are irrelevant for entailment detection. We focus on the detection of entailment relations between sentence pairs involving noun/verb alternations and we show that the system correctly predicts a range of interactions between bas...

This paper addresses the issue in scenario-based understanding of human behavior from videos in a nursing care monitoring system. The analysis is carried out based on experiments consisting of single-state scenarios and multi-state scenarios where the former monitors activities under contextual contexts for elementary behavior reasoning, while the latter dictating the elementary behavior order ...
