Researchers from industry and academia are now exploring the possibility of creating a "Semantic Web," in which meaning is made explicit, allowing machines to process and integrate Web resources intelligently. This technology will allow interoperability among development of intelligent internet agents in large scale, facilitating communication between a multitude of heterogeneous web-accessible...

We describe our submission system to the SemEval-2016 Task 8 on Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) Parsing. We attempt to improve AMR parsing by exploiting preposition semantic role labeling information retrieved from a multi-layer feed-forward neural network. Prepositional semantics is included as features into the transition-based AMR parsing system CAMR (Wang, Xue, and S. Pradhan 2015a). ...

The semantic annotation of dialogue corpora permits building efficient language understanding applications for supporting enjoyable and effective human-machine interactions. Nevertheless, the annotation process could be costly, time-consuming and complicated, particularly the more expressive is the semantic formalism. In this work, we propose a bootstrapping architecture for the semantic annota...

We consider first order modal logic C firstly defined by Carnap in “Meaning and Necessity” [1]. We prove elimination of nested modalities for this logic, which gives additionally the Skolem-Löwenheim theorem for C. We also evaluate the degree of unsolvability for C, by showing that it is exactly 0′. We compare this logic with the logics of Henkin quantifiers, Σ1 logic, and SO. We also shortly d...

In this paper we present a coordination approach towards creating and maintaining alignment between the business and its support systems. The business objectives are related to the coordination of the outcomes of a number of work practices. A practice is apprehended as an activity domain which is the central construct in a new theory for coordinating human activity – the Activity Domain Theory....

Bracketing paradoxes of this type arise from the discrepancy between the bracketing required by the meaning and the syntactic subcategorization as in (2a) and that required by the morphological subcategorization as in (2b).1 The prefix unattaches (regularly) only to adjectives and the resulting complex is an adjective (in accordance with Williams’ (1981) Right-hand Head Rule), and -ity attaches...

This article presents the findings of a pilot study situated in tertiary care cancer centre and examines impact an art therapy group on experiences women living through breast cancer. The design used this is qualitative cross-case comparative case. Ten were interviewed about their making art, many for first time. Interviews transcribed analysed, along with participants’ artist statements. Categ...

Semantic Social Software – the combination of social software and Semantic Web technology – has recently been gaining significant attention in the Semantic Web community. This article first discusses the two different perspectives the research community takes on “Semantic Social Software”, namely the “Semantically Enabled Social Software” – meaning social software enhanced by semantics, and the...
