Sub-categorized arguments introduced by the French preposition pour has been under-studied in previous work, as can be seen from the incompleteness of existing lexical-syntactic resources in that regard. In this paper, we briefly introduce the various types of sub-categorization in pour, which are to be distinguished from occurrences of pour as a discourse connective. We describe how we added a...

A secondary objective is to use LDAT to determine if the level of difficulty assigned to English as a Second Language (ESL) texts corresponds to increases in grammatical, lexical, and temporal diversity. Other methods of lexical diversit...

In this document we present and discuss the formal framework and tool suite that has been (resp. is in the process of being) developed along with Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) and the Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) in order to provide a inferencing support in the area of semantic web services. In particular, we investigate and analyze what kind of formal statements so-called proof ...

Diagnosis of a clinical condition is a challenging task, which often requires significant medical investigation. Previous work related to diagnostic inferencing problems mostly consider multivariate observational data (e.g. physiological signals, lab tests etc.). In contrast, we explore the problem using free-text medical notes recorded in an electronic health record (EHR). Complex tasks like t...

Type speciication completeness is a necessary prerequisite for support of object creating formulae in object calculus leading to formation of new types to be integrated into a type lattice containing the types from which they were formed. The paper shows what conditions should be satissed in order that the inferred types could be correct and what is the systematic way of integration of these ty...
