Topic: Literature (disambiguation)


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.
Deep thematic content is not required in literature; however, some readers would say that all stories inherently project some kind of outlook on life that can be taken as a theme, regardless of whether or not this is the intent of the author.

 Apocalyptic literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The object of this literature in general was to solve the difficulties connected with the righteousness of God and the suffering condition of His righteous servants on earth.
The formulas of apocalyptic literature are the marks of a literary form; for we cannot suppose that the writers experienced the voluminous and detailed visions we find in their books.
Other apocalyptic literature did not make the cut: The Book of Enoch, some of which is older than Daniel (though it has received some Christian interpolations and editing in the versions that have survived) was never considered canonical by Jews or Christians, though it is quoted or paralleled dozens of times in the New Testament.

 Kenning - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In literature, a kenning is a compound poetic phrase, a figure of speech, substituted for the usual name of a person or thing.
The word is derived from the Old Norse phrase kenna eitt við, "to express a thing in terms of another", and is prevalent throughout Norse, Anglo-Saxon literature and Celtic literature.
Kennings are especially associated with the practice of alliterative verse, where they tend to become traditional fixed formulas.The skalds made such extensive use of kennings that these have come to be regarded as an essential nature of 'skaldic verse'.

 Bakhtin, Genre Theory and Theoretical Comparative Literature: Chron
Literature, according to the Bakhtinians, could only be understood by stressing the interaction between literary utterances, on the one hand, and the social and mental activities of writers and readers, on the other.
Even the bipolarity is similar: "The system of literature seems to be the only place where the construction of world-models as such becomes thematic, and where this thematizing can bear upon all positions from ortho-models to remote fantasy worlds" (265).
This does not only contribute to the disambiguation of references and of figurative expressions, but also to the readers' ability to infer what they do not witness directly, or what is not explicitly mentioned in a text" (Semino 172).

Several works in the literature have remarked that for many practical purposes the fine-grained sense distinctions provided by WordNet are not necessary (see for example [Wilks and Stevenson, 98], [Gonzalo et al., 1998], [Kilgarriff and Yallop, 2000] and the SENSEVAL initiative) and make it hard word sense disambiguation.
As far as disambiguation is concerned it seems a reasonable hypothesis that the synset intersection could bring constraints on the sense selection for a word (i.e.
As for WSD we obtained.66 of correct disambiguation with a sense frequency algorithm on polysemous noun words and.80 on all nouns (this last is also reported in the literature, for example in [Mihalcea and Moldovan, 1999]).

 Enhancing a biomedical information extraction system with dictionary mining and context disambiguation
To disambiguate the admissible possibilities, the standard approach is to rely on the context in which the entity appears to provide additional clues to the intended meaning [16].
In [14] the one-sense-per-discourse [20] hypothesis was applied to disambiguation, exploiting the fact that the sense of a term is highly consistent within a given document.
The performance of the disambiguator based on learning only is rather poor on this set compared with its performance on the earlier locally disambiguated set.

 Yeshu - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The question has historically been a delicate one because Yeshu is portrayed in a negative light; negative portrayals of Jesus in Jewish literature might incite, or be used as an excuse for, anti-semitism among some Christians.
Furthermore, the stories of Yeshu have been used both as proof of a historical Jesus and to discredit Christianity by claiming that Jesus is a myth based on confused memories of various individuals.
In the 13th century Jehiel ben Joseph of Paris wrote that the Yeshu in rabbinic literature was a disciple of Joshua ben Perachiah, and not to be confused with Jesus the Nazarene (Vikkuah Rabbenu Yehiel mi-Paris).

This is a slight variant of the standard disambiguation problem1 which has shown itself to be nearly intractable for most NLP applications, but which needed to be successfully handled if DR-LINK was to produce correct semantic SFC vectors.
We based our computational approach to successful disambiguation on a study of current psycholinguistic research literature from which we concluded that there is no single theory that can account for all the experimental results on human lexical disambiguation.
We implement the computational disambiguation process by moving in stages from the more local level to the most global type of disambiguation, using these sources of information to guide the disambiguation process.

Word-sense disambiguation has frequently been criticized as a task in search of a reason.
Since a considerable portion of a sense inventory has only a single sense, the question has been raised whether the amount of effort required by disambiguation is worthwhile.
Heretofore, the focus of disambiguation has been on the sense inventory and has not examined the major reason why we would have lexical knowledge bases: how the meanings would be represented and thus, available for use in natural language processing applications.

Often, however, the use of similar (or the same) labels for different entities and the use of different labels for the same entity makes entity extraction difficult in biomedical literature.

Abstract: The problems of access -- retrieving linguistic structure from some mental grammar -- and disambiguation -- choosing among these structures to correctly parse ambiguous linguistic input -- are fundamental to language understanding.
The literature abounds with psychological results on lexical access, the access of idioms, syntactic rule access, parsing preferences, syntactic disambiguation, and the processing of garden-path sentences.
