Games such as marbles, knucklebones, triangle, hopscotch and ring-based games are played in modern times in Mediterranean countries, but they date back to the 5th century BC, and are mentioned by Alcibiades. Taking as a basis these interesting facts, we…

This paper describes the implantation of a KA tool kit for use with sublanguage-specific corpora. The key idea of KA as an evolutionary process is discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the system's attempt to avoid the pitfalls…

Most Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems traditionally use a sequential architecture that represents the classical linguistic levels (lexical-morphological, syntactical, semantic, etc.), but they claim for huge and monolithic modules, that make the backtracking among such modules difficult. By using a…

Entre el método clásico y simbólico de desambiguación de sentidos (WSD) que utiliza representaciones semánticas profundas de oraciones y textos, y el método estadístico que utiliza información relativa a la co-ocurrencia de palabras, existe una tendencia reciente a usar métodos…

Virtual and remote laboratories(VRLs) are e-learning resources which enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…

A bitext, or bilingual parallel corpus, consists of two texts, each one in a different language, that are mutual translations. Bitexts are very useful in linguistic engineering because they are used as source of knowledge for different purposes. In this…
