A common problem of ontologies is that their taxonomic structure is often poor and confusing. This is typically exemplified by the unrestrained use of subsumption to accomplish a v...
We present a method for decomposing a hypergraph with certain regularities into smaller hypergraphs. By applying this to the set of all canonical covers of a given set of functiona...
We analyse the statistical behavior of query-associated quantities in query-logs, namely, the sum and mean of IDF of query terms, otherwise known as query specificity and query mea...
This paper discusses some preliminary results of the author's on-going research into the representation of product function information for integrated knowledge-based environ...
In this paper we introduce an information theoretic approach and use techniques from the theory of Huffman codes to construct a sequence of binary sampling vectors to determine a s...
