Polysemy in Biblical Hebrew: Examining the Semantic Domain of Fear in the Book of Job
… aids the Biblical scholar in understanding how semantic domains are organized in the mind. This leads to a clearer understanding of the relationships between words. A study of metaphor and metonymy also aids the Biblical scholar in understanding how meaning is extended, which leads to a proper …

Improving Topic Tracking with Domain Chaining
… design. First, at the core of our system is a semantic domain chainer. This chainer relies not only on the WordNet database for semantic relationships but also on Magnini's semantic domain database, which is an extension of WordNet. The domain-chaining algorithm is a linear algorithm. Second, …

Neuropsychological Predictors of Math Calculation and Reasoning in School-Aged Children
… that included three subtypes of math disability: Semantic, Procedural, and Visuospatial. A review of the extant literature produced three studies that examined Geary's three subtypes, which provided some support for Geary's model. Given the paucity of research examining Geary's subtypes of math …

Building a trajectory syntax through language evolution
… linguistic knowledge. This system expands the semantic domain proposed by Kirby which expressed meanings such as "John knows Pete" to a physical world of trajectories such as "The boy ran from the tree to the pole". In this new simulation, I demonstrate that a compositional syntax still …

Human-competitive automatic topic indexing
… These properties draw on statistical, semantic, domain-specific and encyclopedic knowledge. They are combined using a machine learning algorithm that models human indexing behavior from examples. This approach is evaluated by comparing automatically generated topics to those assigned by …

Integrating doctrine and expository preaching: A proposal and an analysis for the twenty-first century
… the biblical basis for doctrinal exposition. The semantic domain for preaching and the Bible's practitioners of doctrinal exposition support this basis. Chapter 4 incorporates the disciplines of biblical and systematic theology for the task of theological interpretation. Moreover, principles for …

Semantics-based automatic geospatial service composition
… components or services, technical complexity and semantic challenges constitute barriers to ensuring a successful and wide reuse of components and services. In the geospatial application domain, the barriers are self-evident due to heterogeneous geographic data, a lack of interoperability and …

Examining the mechanism and influential extent of retrieval-induced forgetting
… items become competitors simply by sharing semantic features with retrieval practiced targets, or whether competitors also must be subsumed within the domain of the retrieval practice cue. Items in the overlap between two categories were retrieval practiced as members of one of the paired …

Questioning the Information Subtest of the Wais-R: Dimensionality, DIF and DBF Analysis, and the Assessment of Category-Specific Semantic Memory Disturbances in Unilaterally Brain -Lesioned Patients
… conceptualized as a measure of auditory-verbal semantic memory. The study's major purposes were to: (1) test the prediction that a Left Hemisphere Lesion group (LHL; n = 207) would perform significantly more poorly on the Information subtest than would a Right Hemisphere Lesion group (RHL; n = …

Automated energy compliance checking in construction
… literature review; (2) developing a semantic, domain-specific, machine learning-based text classification method and algorithm for classifying energy regulatory documents (including energy codes) and contract specifications for supporting energy ACC in construction; (3) developing a …

Dynamic speech networks in the brain: Dual contribution of incrementality and constraints in access to semantics
… and constraints in speech on access to lexical semantics. Through three E/MEG experiments I address two core issues in systems neuroscience of language: 1) What are the network dynamics underpinning cognitive computations that take place when we map sounds to rich semantic representations? 2) …
