Semantic Energy
… expanded upon, applying the latest concepts of Semantic Web technology to the area. This dissertation examines the role of the Semantic Web in representing information relevant to sustainable energy, with a particular focus on energy policy, energy supply, and the demands of the built …

Semantic biometrics
… extract automatically but can still be perceived semantically using human vision. It is contended that such semantic annotations are usable as soft biometric signatures, useful for identification tasks. Feature subset selection techniques are employed to compare the distinguishing ability of …

Semantic chunking
… this thesis is the introduction of the task of semantic chunking as a general approach to reducing the cost of processing long sentences. The goal of semantic chunking is to find semantically contained fragments of a sentence representation that can be processed independently and recombined …

Representing semantic relatedness
… organised reflects certain explicit and implicit semantic and syntactical coupling relationships which are embedded in its contents. The effective capturing of such content couplings is thereby crucial for a genuine understanding of text representations. It has also led to the recent interest in …

Semantic component selection
… The challenge is partially addressed by use of semantic models and reasoning approaches that allow categorisation and (within limited fashion) provide understanding of this information. Nevertheless, many such methods are dependent on expert input and, consequently, are expensive to produce and …

Universal semantic communication
… we can address when and to what extent such semantic communication is possible. Our starting point is a mathematical definition of a generic goal for communication, that is pursued by agents of bounded computational complexity. We then model a "lack of common language or background" by …

SEMEDA (Semantic Meta-Database) : ontology based semantic integration of biological databases
… integration is described. The principles of semantic database integration as introduced in this thesis are new and suitable to be used also in other database integration systems, which have to deal with a high number of semantically heterogeneous databases. Therefore in Chapter 3 the newly …

The Relationship of Attention and Semantic Priming: Semantic Priming Is Conditionally Automatic
… examines the relationship of attention and semantic priming. A debate exists in the semantic priming literature over whether automatic semantic priming does or does not require attention. This debate is limited by the view that automatic processes necessarily exclude the involvement of …

Semantic and global irrealism
… - broadly classified under the umbrella term semantic irrealism - I weave a common thread through these different characterizations and use that formulation for the remainder of the thesis. In chapter two I examine the premises for the argument that semantic irrealism globalizes to the …

Benchmarking Semantic Web technology
Semantic Web technologies need to interchange ontologies for further use. Due to the heterogeneity in the knowledge representation formalisms of the different existing technologies, interoperability is a problem in the SemanticWeb and the limits of the interoperability of current technologies are …

Top-k Semantic Caching
… have been offshored, are practical use cases. A semantic cache is a query-based cache that caches query results and maintains their semantic description. It reuses partial matches of previous query results. Each query that is processed by the semantic cache is split into two disjoint parts: one …

Semantic prosody in Thai
Semantic prosody is an important concept and has become a primary research interest in corpus linguistics. This thesis undertakes the groundwork of fundamental research into semantic prosody in Thai, a language which has not been subject to studies of semantic prosody before, to set out the …

Semantic Priming with Art
The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of viewing art on cognitive processes. This thesis uses a well-established priming paradigm to examine how people respond to styles of art with varying degrees of unexpectedness (realism, surrealism, and abstraction). Sixty-one participants …

Automatic semantic header generator
… to extract information effectively. The Semantic Header, which is proposed by Desai (11), contains the semantic contents of information resources. It provides a useful tool in searching for a document based on a number of commonly used criteria. The information from the semantic header …

Unitization and semantic information
… proposal is that unitization may modulate the semantic relatedness between the two items; thus, unitization of stimuli with little semantic content would lead to reduced effects. To assess this claim, two ERP experiments were performed with semantically sparse stimuli (abstract images and …

Semantic Decomposition By Covering
… the implementation of a covering algorithm for semantic decomposition of sentences of technical patents. This research complements the ASPIN project that has a long term goal of providing an automated system for digital system synthesis from patents. In order to develop a prototype of the system …
