Automatic Retrieval and Clustering of Similar Words

"... greatest challenges in natural language learning. We first define a word similarity measure based on the distributional pattern of words. The similarity measure allows us to construct a thesaurus using a parsed corpus. We then present a new evaluation methodology for the automatically constructed th ..."

Semantic Similarity in a Taxonomy: An Information-Based Measure and its Application to Problems of Ambiguity in Natural Language

by Philip Resnik , 1999
"... This article presents a measure of semantic similarityinanis-a taxonomy based on the notion of shared information content. Experimental evaluation against a benchmark set of human similarity judgments demonstrates that the measure performs better than the traditional edge-counting approach. The a ..."

The Lorel Query Language for Semistructured Data

by Serge Abiteboul, Dallan Quass, Jason Mchugh, Jennifer Widom, Janet Wiener - International Journal on Digital Libraries , 1997
"... We present the Lorel language, designed for querying semistructured data. Semistructured data is becoming more and more prevalent, e.g., in structured documents such as HTML and when performing simple integration of data from multiple sources. Traditional data models and query languages are inapprop ..."

are inappropriate, since semistructured data often is irregular, some data is missing, similar concepts are represented using different types, heterogeneous sets are present, or object structure is not fully known. Lorel is a user-friendly language in the SQL/OQL style for querying such data effectively. For wide

The synchronous dataflow programming language LUSTRE

by N. Halbwachs, P. Caspi, P. Raymond, D. Pilaud - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1991
"... This paper describes the language Lustre, which is a dataflow synchronous language, designed for programming reactive systems --- such as automatic control and monitoring systems --- as well as for describing hardware. The dataflow aspect of Lustre makes it very close to usual description tools in t ..."

formalism is very similar to temporal logics. This allows the language to be used for both writing programs and expressing program properties, which results in an original program verification methodology. 1 Introduction Reactive systems Reactive systems have been defined as computing systems which

Comparing Approaches to the Identification of Similar Languages

A Language Modeling Approach to Information Retrieval

by Jay M. Ponte, W. Bruce Croft , 1998
"... Models of document indexing and document retrieval have been extensively studied. The integration of these two classes of models has been the goal of several researchers but it is a very difficult problem. We argue that much of the reason for this is the lack of an adequate indexing model. This sugg ..."

. This suggests that perhaps a better indexing model would help solve the problem. However, we feel that making unwarranted parametric assumptions will not lead to better retrieval performance. Furthermore, making prior assumptions about the similarity of documents is not warranted either. Instead, we propose

The Implementation of the Cilk-5 Multithreaded Language

by Matteo Frigo, Charles E. Leiserson, Keith H. Randall , 1998
"... The fifth release of the multithreaded language Cilk uses a provably good "work-stealing " scheduling algorithm similar to the rst system, but the language has been completely redesigned and the runtime system completely reengineered. The efficiency of the new implementation was aided ..."

AgentSpeak(L): BDI Agents speak out in a logical computable language

by Anand S. Rao , 1996
"... Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents have been investigated by many researchers from both a theoretical specification perspective and a practical design perspective. However, there still remains a large gap between theory and practice. The main reason for this has been the complexity of theorem-prov ..."

-theoretic semantics of a language AgentSpeak(L). This language can be viewed as an abstraction of one of the implemented BDI systems (i.e., PRS) and allows agent programs to be written and interpreted in a manner similar to that of horn-clause logic programs. We show how to perform derivations in this logic using a

The NRC system for discriminating similar languages

A Syntactic Approach to Type Soundness

by Andrew K. Wright, Matthias Felleisen - INFORMATION AND COMPUTATION , 1992
"... We present a new approach to proving type soundness for Hindley/Milner-style polymorphic type systems. The keys to our approach are (1) an adaptation of subject reduction theorems from combinatory logic to programming languages, and (2) the use of rewriting techniques for the specification of the la ..."

of the language semantics. The approach easily extends from polymorphic functional languages to imperative languages that provide references, exceptions, continuations, and similar features. We illustrate the technique with a type soundness theorem for the core of Standard ML, which includes the first type
