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…

This paper focuses on the general problem of the lexical bottleneck and, in particular, on the issues of semantic clustering and disambiguation by means of word usage cues obtained from sublanguage-specific corpora. Our approaches combines the use of numerical techniques…

In this paper we introduce a probabilistic approach to support visual supervision and gesture recognition. Task knowledge is both of geometric and visual nature and it is encoded in parametric eigenspaces. Learning processes for compute modal subspaces (eigenspaces) are the…

The reform of Spanish University System occurs for allow that the universities to board the needs derived from the new kinds of knowledge generation and transmission. The university’s objective is the formation of professionals capable of taking, analysing and elaborating…

Current model-driven Web Engineering approaches (such as OO-H, UWE or WebML) provide a set of methods and supporting tools for a systematic design and development of Web applications. Each method addresses different concerns using separate models (content, navigation, presentation, business…

This paper presents AWAC, a prototype CAWE tool for the automatic generation of adaptive Web applications based on the A-OOH methodology. A-OOH (Adaptive OO-H) is an extension of the OO-H approach to support the modeling of personalized Websites. A-OOH allows…

Purpose – The idea that knowledge management can be a potential source of competitive advantage has gained strength in the last few years. However, a number of business actions are needed to generate an appropriate environment and infrastructure for knowledge…

Algunas aplicaciones del procesamiento del lenguaje natural, p.ej. la traducción
automática, requieren una base de conocimiento provista de representaciones conceptuales que
puedan reflejar la estructura del sistema cognitivo del ser humano. En cambio, tareas como la
indización automática o la…

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…

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether teachers’ knowledge of student assessment was influenced by their gender and if it was related to their teaching experience (years in education). One hundred and twenty six physical education teachers (n=126)…
