WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is the work of finding the sense that a word has in a context. The main problem of the WSD is deciding what are the senses of the word. Sometimes the senses are very different or could be also very close. One of the solution to this problem that some researchers [...]

Spell Chekers

The first spell checker weren’t correctors, they were verifiers. It never gave any suggestion for the incorrect word. A Spell Checker in computing is an application program that flags those words that are not spelled correctly. The program may be capable of working on any kind of text. The spell checker works comparing individual words [...]

MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

Is the computational interdisciplinary study of music information retrieval (MIR). This science has several applications. There is a software for MIR. The human interaction and interfaces with the computer is clear with the use of the database to check the Intellectual Property rights and music (national and international), to access to musical archives, research and [...]

Machine Translation

In 1629 the philosopher Descartes proposed a universal language where equivalent ideas in different tongues had one symbol and the idea of using digital computers for it was proposed in 1946. And it was a fact in the 1950s, when the Georgetown Experiment (1954) involved automatic translation of Russian sentences into English. But the real [...]

Their mission as we can read [...]

Question Answering Systems

One of the first Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems were Question Answer systems (QA) called BASEBALL and LUNAR, both developed in the 1960s. These systems were very effective. LUNAR, for example, was demonstrated in 1971 that it was able to answer 90% of the questions. But two of the most famous early systems were SHRDLU, which [...]

ORALIDAD Y LITERATURA

     La oralidad es la forma de comunicación verbal. Se divide en dos partes: la oralidad primaria y la oralidad secundaria.
