In this paper, a method of event ordering based on temporal information resolution is presented. This method consists of two main steps: on the one hand, the recognition and resolution of the temporal expressions that can be transformed on a…

In the last decade, the Web 2.0 brought technological changes in the manner of interaction and communication between users and applications, and among applications as well. Rich Internet Applications (RIA) offer user interfaces with a higher level of interactivity, similar…

The extension to new languages is a well known bottleneck for rule-based systems. Considerable human effort, which typically consists in re-writing from scratch huge amounts of rules, is in fact required to transfer the knowledge available to the system from…

In this paper, a restricted domain question answering (QA) system is described. The design architecture of this QA system and the features that allow the adaptation of the QA system to the medical domain are also presented. The advantages of…

This paper presents the automatic extension to other languages of TERSEO, a knowledge-based system for the recognition and normalization of temporal expressions originally developed for Spanish. TERSEO was first extended to English through the automatic translation of the temporal expressions.…

Hemos analizado las alineaciones a nivel de oración de dos corpus paralelos de textos originales y sus simplificaciones creados con diferentes objetivos. Hemos clasificado las alineaciones que se observan y diseñado un algoritmo de clasificación capaz de predecir si las…

Data mining is at the core of the knowledge discovery process. However, an initial preprocessing step is crucial for assuring reliable results within this process. Preprocessing of data is a time-consuming and non-trivial task since data quality issues should be…

Este trabajo constituye un primer intento de abordar la detección automática de sujetos elididos y de construcciones impersonales en portugués de Brasil, una tarea que no nos consta que se haya llevado a cabo previamente en esta lengua. Para ello,…

The Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) is a pilot track within the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2006. The AVE competition provides an evaluation frame-
work for answer validations in Question Answering (QA). In our participation in AVE, we propose a system…
