In the present paper I describe the conceptual level of representation of a database, currently in development, which aims at fulfilling the Functional-Lexematic model. I will concentrate on the semantic component, as it is central for the theory of Functional…

The topic of this research is about the exploration of the actual colour scenario, from an Italian perspective analysis to an international one, with the aim to understand the characteristics and the needs of a complex system of disciplines and…

In this paper, a supervised learning system of word sense disambiguation is presented. It is based on conditional maximum entropy models. This system acquires the linguistic knowledge from an annotated corpus and this knowledge is represented in the form of…

The specific knowledge that can be found in web sites provides a source of information which should be used by language teachers and content teachers to teach students both subject matter and language at the same time. In this paper,…

Apart from speculating about a series of issues open to debate, such as the dark side of progress and globalization or the conflict between science and morality,
Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake (2003) offers a feasible insight into the state…

The ability of building robust semantic space representations of environments is crucial for the development of truly autonomous robots. This task, inherently connected with cognition, is traditionally achieved by training the robot with a supervised learning phase. We argue that…
