In this paper we concentrate on the resolution of the lexical ambiguity that
arises when a given word has several different meanings. This specific task is
commonly referred to as word sense disambiguation (WSD). The task of WSD
consists of assigning the correct sense to words using an electronic dictionary
as the source of word definitions. We present two WSD methods based on two main
methodological approaches in this research area: a knowledge-based method and a
corpus-based method. Our hypothesis is that word-sense disambiguation requires
several knowledge sources in order to solve the semantic ambiguity of the
words. These sources can be of different kinds--- for example, syntagmatic,
paradigmatic or statistical information. Our approach combines various sources
of knowledge, through combinations of the two WSD methods mentioned above.
Mainly, the paper concentrates on how to combine these methods and sources of
information in order to achieve good results in the disambiguation. Finally,
this paper presents a comprehensive study and experimental work on evaluation
of the methods and their combinations
A Mass Customisation model is discussed as a competitive positioning strategy in the marketplace adding value to the customer's end-use. It includes the user as part of the construction process responding to the customer's demands and wishes. To the present day, almost all proposals for Mass Customisation have been focused on the design phase and single family houses. The reality is that the processes carried out in the work execution are so inefficient that the costs of the Mass Customisation models are assumed by the customer and they do not offer solutions that support the change management. Furthermore, this inefficiency often makes Mass Customisation unfeasible in terms of deadlines and site management. Therefore, the present proposal focuses on achieving the paradigm of Mass Customisation in the traditional residential construction complementary to the existing proposals in the design phase. All this through the proposal of a framework for the integral management in the work execution, which will address change management introduced by the users offering an efficient and productive model that reduces costs in the process. This model will focus on the synergy between different strategies, techniques and technologies
Abstract. The paper discusses the usage of unlabeled data for Spanish Named Entity Recognition. Two techniques have been used: selftraining for detecting the entities in the text and co-training for classifying these already detected entities. We introduce a new co-training algorithm, which applies voting techniques in order to decide which unlabeled example should be added into the training set at each iteration. A proposal for improving the performance of the detected entities has been made. A brief comparative study with already existing co-training algorithms is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
