The semantic distance was measured by Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). The results show that older people have a larger semantic distance between successively generated items than young people, and that this effect is particularly pronounced in the more demanding fluency task. Taken together, our findings support the idea that elderly have a less distinct semantic network compared to young people while also demonstrating the feasibility of LSA as a powerful tool for delineating multifaceted aspects of semantic organization inherent in behavioural data from language production tasks.","PeriodicalId":288269,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126122270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have dynamically enhanced the user query with the related user's preferences, which are stored in user's profile for providing personalized results; however, not all user preferences are relevant in all situations. As far as we know, these studies don’t take into account the state of the current activity during the information retrieval process. This paper presents a method to reformulate user queries depending on his profile together with the state of the task that he is undertaking when the information retrieval process takes places. Here suppose, that the queries we consider are related to some current task at hand. The UML state diagram is chosen for modeling the current task in order to detect the transitions at time intervals with the task state changes. In this paper, a new concept of SRQ (State Reformulated Queries) is introduced and used to reformulate queries. The result obtained by SRQ is more relevant than that obtained by the initial query for the current task at hand.","PeriodicalId":288269,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing","volume":"515 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116214385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is generally defined as managing changes in a timely manner without loss of existing data. However, ontology versioning is more complicated than versioning in database because of the usage and content of ontology which incorporates semantic aspects. Consequently, ontology data models are much richer than those of database schemas. In this paper, we propose an approach of ontology evolution which incorporates a versioning management process, based on three phases: evolution changes, ontology coherence and versioning management. The proposed approach allows monitoring the evolution of ontology by creating a new version based on types of changes which express the evolution requirements. The inconsistencies that can be generated on the ontology after evolution are identified for each type of changes and are treated based on corrective operations defined by the system.","PeriodicalId":288269,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127840914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach's main idea and original contribution is that we use reasoning which is a part of ontology. In the first step, we transform the static part of the UML model and its constraints into a problem ontology and try to discover contradictions using ontology reasoning. The contradictions that have been found indicate inconsistencies. In the second step, we try to discover contradictions between the problem ontology coming from the UML model, that represents the requirements, and the domain ontology, that represents the domain knowledge available in the software company. However, a limitation of this approach is: We cannot check the behavioral consistency because it is not possible to represent the dynamic part of the UML model in an ontology.

A matrix representation of a word is computed from a corpus of traces based on the given word. Non-negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) compute a set of vectors corresponding to a potential shade of meaning. The two methods were evaluated based on loss of conditional entropy with respect to two sets of manually tagged data. One set reflects concepts generally appearing in text, and the second set comprises words used for investigations into word sense disambiguation. Results show that for NMF consistently outperforms SVD for inducing both SoM of general concepts as well as word senses. The problem of inducing the shades of meaning of a word is more subtle than that of word sense induction and hence relevant to thematic analysis of opinion where nuances of opinion can arise.","PeriodicalId":288269,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133469973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
