Download or read book Scientific Computing and Cultural Heritage written by Hans Georg Bock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sheer computing power of modern information technology is changing the face of research not just in science, technology and mathematics, but in humanities and cultural studies too. Recent decades have seen a major shift both in attitudes and deployment of computers, which are now vital and highly effective tools in disciplines where they were once viewed as elaborate typewriters. This revealing volume details the vast array of computing applications that researchers in the humanities now have recourse to, including the dissemination of scholarly information through virtual ‘co-laboratories’, data retrieval, and the modeling of complex processes that contribute to our natural and cultural heritage. One key area covered in this book is the versatility of computers in presenting images and graphics, which is transforming the analysis of data sets and archaeological reconstructions alike. The papers published here are grouped into three broad categories that cover mathematical and computational methods, research developments in information systems, and a detailed portrayal of ongoing work on documenting, restoring and presenting cultural monuments including the temples in Pompeii and the Banteay Chhmar temples of the Angkorian period in present-day Cambodia. Originally presented at a research workshop in Heidelberg, Germany, they reflect the rapidly developing identity of computational humanities as an interdisciplinary field in its own right, as well as demonstrating the breadth of perspectives in this young and vibrant research area.

Download or read book Reasoning Web Logical Foundation of Knowledge Graph Construction and Query Answering written by Jeff Z. Pan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains some lecture notes of the 12th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2016), held in Aberdeen, UK, in September 2016. In 2016, the theme of the school was “Logical Foundation of Knowledge Graph Construction and Query Answering”. The notion of knowledge graph has become popular since Google started to use it to improve its search engine in 2012. Inspired by the success of Google, knowledge graphs are gaining momentum in the World Wide Web arena. Recent years have witnessed increasing industrial take-ups by other Internet giants, including Facebook's Open Graph and Microsoft's Satori. The aim of the lecture note is to provide a logical foundation for constructing and querying knowledge graphs. Our journey starts from the introduction of Knowledge Graph as well as its history, and the construction of knowledge graphs by considering both explicit and implicit author intentions. The book will then cover various topics, including how to revise and reuse ontologies (schema of knowledge graphs) in a safe way, how to combine navigational queries with basic pattern matching queries for knowledge graph, how to setup a environment to do experiments on knowledge graphs, how to deal with inconsistencies and fuzziness in ontologies and knowledge graphs, and how to combine machine learning and machine reasoning for knowledge graphs.
Download or read book Vernunft und Innovation written by Antje Gimmler and published by Brill Fink. This book was released on 2010 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walther Ch. Zimmerlis philosophische Bemühungen sind von Grenzgängen zwischen und Überschreitungen von Disziplinen gekennzeichnet und von der Grundüberzeugung getragen, dass Philosophie sich einzumischen und einzubringen hat. Sie muss sich also mit den Lebensfragen der Menschen selbst auseinandersetzen. Zimmerlis philosophisches Ziel ist immer, die Problemlösungsqualität zu steigern. Um dies zu erreichen haben ihn Zeit seines akademischen Lebens weder disziplinäre Grenzen noch systematische Zuordnungen interessiert, sondern er hat Fragen der Technikbewertung (z.B. Kernenergie), der gentechnisch verfahrenden Biotechnologie (sog. Life Sciences), des Umgangs mit Computern philosophisch thematisiert. Bezugspunkt dabei war stets die öffentliche Vernunft als ein abwägendes Bemühen, politische Willensbildung, ökonomische Interessen, technologischen Fortschritt und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung mit ihrer lebensweltlich unterschiedlichen Kommunikativität aufeinander zu beziehen und das bessere Argument zur Geltung zu bringen. Sich im öffentlichen Raum zu bewegen, heißt für ihn, begründet Position zu beziehen, reflektiert Gestaltungsspielräume auszunutzen und persönliche Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Davon ist sowohl seine akademische als auch seine hochschulpolitische Karriere sowie seine Tätigkeit in der Wirtschaft geprägt. Allen Bestrebungen gemeinsam ist die Suche nach Neuem und die Frage, wie es entsteht? Handlungsleitend für Walther Ch. Zimmerli war und ist aber stets, ob und wie diese Innovationen eine Verbesserung für die Menschen in Gegenwart und Zukunft darstellen.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Approaches to Code Switching written by Ludmila Isurin and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume presents a selection of contributions by leading scholars in the field of code-switching. In the past the phenomenon of code-switching was studied within different subfields of linguistics and they all took their own perspectives on code-switching without taking into account findings from other subdisciplines. This book raises a question of a much broader multidisciplinary approach to studying the phenomenon of code-switching; calls for integration of disciplines; and illustrates how frameworks from one subfield can be applied to models in another. The volume includes survey chapters, empirical studies, contributions that use empirical data to test new hypotheses about code-switching, or suggest new approaches and models for the study of code-switching, and chapters that discuss principles and constraints of code-switching, and code-switching vs. transfer. The book is easily accessible to anyone who is interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in bilinguals.
Download or read book Multiword expressions at length and in depth written by Stella Markantonatou and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual workshop on multiword expressions takes place since 2001 in conjunction with major computational linguistics conferences and attracts the attention of an ever-growing community working on a variety of languages, linguistic phenomena and related computational processing issues. MWE 2017 took place in Valencia, Spain, and represented a vibrant panorama of the current research landscape on the computational treatment of multiword expressions, featuring many high-quality submissions. Furthermore, MWE 2017 included the first shared task on multilingual identification of verbal multiword expressions. The shared task, with extended communal work, has developed important multilingual resources and mobilised several research groups in computational linguistics worldwide. This book contains extended versions of selected papers from the workshop. Authors worked hard to include detailed explanations, broader and deeper analyses, and new exciting results, which were thoroughly reviewed by an internationally renowned committee. We hope that this distinctly joint effort will provide a meaningful and useful snapshot of the multilingual state of the art in multiword expressions modelling and processing, and will be a point point of reference for future work.
