Text is most used means for information exchange in today’s web dominated world. Text Mining also known as text data mining, an equivalent of text analytic, means the process of retrieving high quality information from text. Statistical pattern learning helps to devise patterns and trends through which high quality information is derived. Text mining accomplishes the task of structuring the inp...

In this paper we propose a two-stage method to acquire contradiction relations between typed lexico-syntactic patterns such as Xdrug prevents Ydisease and Ydisease caused by Xdrug . In the first stage, we train an SVM classifier to detect contradiction pattern pairs in a large web archive by exploiting the excitation polarity (Hashimoto et al., 2012) of the patterns. In the second stage, we enl...

We present a novel and uniform technique for normal logic program declarative error diagnosis. We lay down the foundations on a general approach to diagnosis using logic programming, and bring out the close relationship between debugging and fault{{nding. Diagnostic debugging can be enacted by contradiction removal methods. It relies on a simple program transformation to provide a contradiction...

the current study examines contradictions in muhammad mahdi al-jawahiri’s political poetry. al-jawahiri led most of his life amidst the turmoil caused by the political events and developments that iraq has undergone through different periods beginning with the 1920 revolution led by religious leaders and ending with al-ba‘th party and saddam hussein. al-jawahiri has beencontradictory in his poe...

Problem solving is a key activity for any innovative company. As the dialectical approach has shown its efficiency in problem solving, the starting point of our work is the use of contradiction in problem formulation stage. In this article, we analyse the possibility to use information brought by a Design of Experiments (DoE) to formulate a contradiction. Constraint Satisfaction Problem is empl...

Understanding relationships between text passages is key for information analysis. We focus here on the contradiction relationship, and build a system to detect conflicting statements. We show that such a system needs to make more fine-grained distinctions than the common systems for entailment. Also, we argue for the centrality of event coreference and therefore incorporate a component based o...

In a previous paper, we proposed an axiomatic model for measuring self-contradiction in the framework of Atanassov fuzzy sets. This way, contradiction measures that are semicontinuous and completely semicontinuous, from both below and above, were defined. Although some examples were given, the problem of finding families of functions satisfying the different axioms remained open. The purpose of...
