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…

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standards and technologies provides the basic…

The Knowledge Engineering Suite is an ontology production method, based on relationship networks, for knowledge representation inside specific contexts. The production of these ontologies has three basic steps, since catching the client data, knowledge base creation, and information retrieval and…

We propose a framework for studying the effect of KDD on CRM in the Egyptian banking sector. We believe that the KDD process and applications may perform a significant role in Egyptian banks to improve CRM, in particular for customer…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…

The knowledge of field management zones based on soil attributes can be helpful for the implementation of site-specific management. This work had the objective of analyzing the spatial dependence of soil attributes of the 0-0.20 m and 0.20-0.40 m layers…

En la societat actual, una de les millors maneres de donar a conéixer una llengua i la seua cultura —i encara més a nivell internacional— és la traducció. La tasca traductològica té com a objectiu primordial posar en contacte dues…

Cette recherche porte sur la lexicologie, la lexicographie et l’enseignement/apprentissage du lexique. Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Modélisation ontologique des savoirs lexicographiques en vue de leur application en linguistique appliquée, surnommé Lexitation, qui est, à notre connaissance, la…

This paper proposes an original generic hierarchical framework in order to facilitate the modeling stage of complex autonomous robotics mission planning problems with action uncertainties. Such stochastic planning problems can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes [5]. This work is…

Given an instance of an optimization problem together with an optimal solution, we consider the scenario in which this instance is modified locally. In graph problems, e. g., a singular edge might be removed or added, or an edge weight…
