Word embeddings have been shown to be highly effective in a variety of lexical semantic tasks. They tend to capture meaningful relational similarities between individual words, at the expense of lacking the capabilty of making the underlying semantic relation explicit. In this paper, we investigate the attribute relation that often holds between the constituents of adjective-noun phrases. We us...

This paper presents a system for automatically generating a set of plausible paraphrases for a given noun compound and rank them in decreasing order of their usage represented by the confidence value provided by the human annotators. Our system implements a corpusdriven probabilistic co-occurrence based model for predicting the paraphrases, that uses a seed list of paraphrases extracted from co...

Semantic relations between text concepts denote the core elements of lexical semantics. This paper presents a model for the automatic detection of INTENTION semantic relation. Our approach first identifies the syntactic patterns that encode intentions, then we select syntactic and semantic features for a SVM learning classifier. In conclusion, we discuss the application of INTENTION relations t...

The fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae causes severe disease symptoms and yield losses on rice plants. A new study shows that this fungus elicits disease lesions by co-opting a host protein and reveals how rice plants fight back.

In this paper, we propose a new system that takes profits of data stream technology. It aims to collect and store data arriving from monitoring system in intensive care unit (ICU). Then, it makes it available for the medical staff to analyze data and take the appropriate treatment for patients. In fact, monitoring system in ICU provides a large amount of data rapidly and continuously. Most of d...
