In gender classification, labeled data is often limited while unlabeled data is ample. This motivates semi-supervised learning for gender classification to improve the performance by exploring the knowledge in both labeled and unlabeled data. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised approach to gender classification by leveraging textual features and a specific kind of indirect links among t...

Textual CBR applications deal with problems that have traditionally been addressed by the Information Retrieval community, namely the handling of textual documents. Since CBR is an AI technique, the questions arise as to what kind of knowledge may enhance the system, where this knowledge comes from, and how it contributes to the performance of such a system. We will address these questions in t...

In this paper(1) we undertake a critical re-examination of Jung's relationship to hermeneutic thought, based on his explicit references to hermeneut...

This paper attempts to demonstrate the principles of hermeneutics in an effort to understand factors affecting Information Systems (IS) projects. As hermeneutics provides a systematic method of interpreting text from multiple information sources, thus, Information Systems being prima facie defined and documented as text documents, are eminently suited for this mode of investigation. In this pap...
