Traditionally, two alternative design design approaches have been available to engineers: top-down and bottom-up. In the top-down approach, the design process starts with specifyin...
Geographic information systems use databases to map keywords to places. These databases are currently most often created by using a top-down approach based on the geographic defini...
Systems that automatically discover semantic classes have emerged in part to address the limitations of broad-coverage lexical resources such as WordNet and Cyc. The current state...
