The goal of this paper is two-fold: (i) the paper aims to characterize unique semantics of so called "symmetric" locatives like across the street - this will provide a guiding semantics for annotating a variety of paths; and (ii) the paper claims that we need "symmetric" paths to give a unified account of the various semantic effects of symmetric locatives. The paper illustrates several semantic effects induced by symmetric locatives: (i) symmetric underspecification, (ii) path-/event-quantification, (iii) static symmetric relations, and (iv) the symmetric inference by the adverb back. The paper defines the semantic class of symmetric locatives, and accounts for the symmetry effects in terms of properties and relations of Path Structure proposed by Nam (1995).

This paper proposes a new document clustering method using NMF and fuzzy relationship. The proposed method can improve the quality of document clustering because the clustered documents by using fuzzy relation values between semantic features and terms to distinguish well dissimilar documents in clusters, the selected cluster label terms by using semantic features with NMF, which is used in document clustering, can represent an inherent structure of document set better. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than other document clustering methods.

The rapid growing of video content production leads to the necessity of developing more complex indexing systems in order to efficiently allow searching, retrieval and presentation of the desired segments of videos. This paper presents a method for indexing soccer video through automatic extraction of information from internet. The proposed paper defines a metadata structure to formally represent the knowledge of soccer matches and provides an automatic method to extract semantic information from web-sites. This approach improves the capability to extract more reliable and richer semantic Information for soccer videos. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides an efficient performance.

This paper claims that beneficiary adjuncts are best analyzed as involving external predication in a version of grammatical framework called Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. This paper also claims that verbal catefories need to include the attribute INDEX among their semantic components in order to account for the external predication proposed in this paper. This paper distinguishes between recipient and beneficiary reles and assumes that the former is a semantic argument of a verb-type relation and that the latter is an adjunct which makes a semantic contribution as a modifier. This approach achives a unified analysis of modification phenomena of nominal and verbal categories and it can also accomodate Parson's(1990) idea that a verbal category denotes a set of events, not just an event.

Correct facade image parsing is essential to the semantic understanding of outdoor scenes. Unfortunately, there are often various occlusions in front of buildings, which fails many existing methods. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep network for facade parsing with occlusions. The network learns to decompose an input image into visible and invisible parts by occlusion reasoning. Then, a context aggregation module is proposed to collect nonlocal cues for semantic segmentation of the visible part. In addition, considering the regularity of man-made buildings, a repetitive pattern completion branch is designed to infer the contents in the invisible regions by referring to the visible part. Finally, the parsing map of the input facade image is generated by fusing the results of the visible and invisible results. Experiments on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in parsing facades with occlusions. Moreover, we applied our method in applications of image inpainting and 3D semantic modeling.

The purpose of this study is to examine the semantic structure about the image shown on the product, brand and advertisement and figuring out its features through the correlation among brand images. For the study, nine brands(Guess, Bangbang, ONG, NIX, TBJ, Levi's, OPT, FRJ, Jambangee) as subjects for investigation has been selected and divided into the image of brand(9 brands), product(108 products, 12 pieces for each product) and advertisement(9 points) by the measure of 26 adjective pairs. The survey has been collected on the subject of 540 men and women who live in around Busan city areas and has been taken the statistics. The results on investigating the semantic structures of the product images about jean brands, there are five main factors, such as, individuality, attractiveness, activeness, modernity, hardness & softness. The results on examining the semantic structures of the brand images about jean brands, the factors are attractiveness, activeness, vitality, hardness & softness, fadness. The results on investigating the semantic structure of the advertisement images about jean brands, the factors are attractiveness, individuality, modernity, activeness. The results on the classification of brand images are presented as four groups, the first group is that brand and advertisement image are pretty similar but product image is differential according to brand and the second group, product and advertisement image are similar but brand image is differential. The third group is that product and brand image are similar but advertisement is differential and the fourth group, product, brand and advertisement are similar.

Need for machine-understandable web (Semantic web) is increasing in order for users to exactly understand Web information resources and currently there are two main approaches to solve the problem. One is the Topic map developed by the ISO/IEC JTC 1 and the other is the RDF (Resource Description Framework), one of W3C standards. Semantic web supports all of the metadata of the Web information resources, thus the necessity of interoperability between the Topic map and the RDF is required. To address this issue, several conversion methods have been proposed. However, these methods have some problems such as loss of meanings, complicated structure, unnecessary nodes, etc. In this paper, a new method is proposed to resolve some parts of those problems. The method proposed is called NOWL (NO structural Warp and semantics Loss). NOWL method gives several contributions such as maintenance of the original a Topic map instance structure and elimination of the unnecessary nodes compared with the previous researches.

Recently, the semantic web stands out in the next generation web. To realize the semantic web, the metadata integration is required between different metadatas on the web for metadata management. Otherwise, the integrated structure is needed to accommodate all of semantic, syntax and structure. RDF is one of the core technology and is more efficient framework for technology and interchange of metadata in the web, In this paper, for metadata management, we designed and implemented the RDF authoring system which converts each of metadata into RDF and makes it easy to manipulate and manage the different metadatas. For this, we researched about the RDF creation using Dublin Core metadata, the conversion of XML document into RDF, the RDF expression by N-Triple form and the integration of WSDL and RDF, and implemented the system on the lava platform. Basically, users using this system can integrate and manage metadatas easily even if they are not expert.

Semantic Web is getting popular to next web environment. Additionally, ontology language research is also activating to represent semantic relation of resource in semantic web. Specially, Ontology language as RDF and DAML+OIL appear on start point of research. But Ontology Language limited to describing characters of resource and to making a clear definition of relation of resource. So W3C suggest OWL at the next standard language for describing resource. OWL supply the lack of representation for RDF and RDF Schema. In this paper, we make Ontology to implement Online Retrieval System using OWL and propose the structure of storing Ontology document at the RDB. The structure support characters of OWL that are equivalent relationship, heterogeneous relationship, inverse relationship, union relationship and one of relationship between classes or properties. In this paper, we classify the extended elements for OWL from RDF Schema. And we propose the method of storing OWL using RDB for interoperability with many applications based on RDB. Finally, implement the storage and retrieval system based on OWL to provide advanced search function.

UNESCO clearly has a good user interface compared to other sites. However, it does not have a structure in which user-centric knowledge curating is employed by users. As such, the knowledge structure should be expressed differently in advance for users to enjoy such benefits. At present, almost all current information systems are lacking with semantic and contextual information. Moreover, these systems are deemed insufficient of interlinking various kinds of thoughts in our minds. Thus, it is necessary to model in advance what users are likely to think and provide an interface that they can easily utilize based on that modeling. Furthermore, there is a need for a new structural theory based on semantic technology that can make that possible. Therefore, in this proposal, theoretical and practical insights were presented for user interface implementation to which relational facet navigation based on the structural theory is applied. Moreover, this proposal intends to suggest a "thinking expansion platform" that allows users' ideation of different concepts, including those unfamiliar to them.
