    • The topology of WordNet: some metrics 

      VOGEL, CARL (2004)
      This paper outlines some different metrics intended for measuring node specicity in WordNet. Statistics are used to characterise topological properties of the overall network.

    • Using Wordnet hierarchies to pinpoint differences in related texts 

      VOGEL, CARL (2003)
      We present a means of comparing texts to highlight their informational differences. The system builds a Directed Acyclic Graph representation of the combined WordNet hypernym hierarchies of the nouns. Comparison of ...

    • Wordnet enhanced automatic crossword generation 

      VOGEL, CARL (The Global Wordnet Association, 2006)
      We report on a system for automatically gener- ating and displaying crosswords from a system manager supplied database of potential clues and corresponding words that index those clues. The system relies on the lexical ...

    • Dynamic semantics for metaphor 

      VOGEL, CARL (2001)
      An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is required in order to provide the right ...

    • A platform for simulating language evolution 

      VOGEL, CARL (Springer, 2006)
      A platform for conducting experiments in the simulation of natural lan- guage evolution is presented. The system is paramaterized for indepen- dent specification of important features like: number of agents, commu- nication ...

    • Automatic Character Assignation 

      LYNCH, GERARD; VOGEL, CARL (Springer, 2007)
      This article outlines a simple method for parsing an ASCII-format dra- matic work from the Project Gutenberg Corpus into separate characters. The motivation for the program is a upcoming study in computational stylistics ...

    • Metaphor is Generic 

      VOGEL, CARL (2008)
      An approach to sense extension tailored for polysemy associated with non-literal language expanded to include belief revision generally. The relationship between metaphor and genericity as rhetorical devices is discussed, ...

    • Statistically-constrained shallow text marking: techniques, evaluation paradigm and results 

      VOGEL, CARL (International Society for Optical Engineering, 2007)
      We present three natural language marking strategies based on fast and reliable shallow parsing techniques, and on widely available lexical resources: lexical substitution, adjective conjunction swaps, and relativiser ...

    • The syntax of concealment: reliable methods for plain text information hiding 

      VOGEL, CARL (2007)
      Many plain text information hiding techniques demand deep semantic processing, and so suffer in reliability. In contrast, syntactic processing is a more mature and reliable technology. Assuming a perfect parser, this paper ...

    • Group dialects in an online community 

      VOGEL, CARL (2007)
      Variations in group sub-languages evolve quickly and are a key marker of social boundaries such as those between professions, workgroups, tribes and families. In this paper we present a quantitative analysis of the ...

    • Revisiting the 'Donation of Constantine' 

      LYNCH, GERARD; VOGEL, CARL (The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour, 2008)
      Techniques developed for synchronic text classification problems are applied to a significantly diachronic dataset. The scale of the temporal categories appears to matter. The problem addressed is that of using automated ...

    • LibViz: Data Visualisation of the Old Library 

      Ruhland, Kerstin; Sedlmair, Michael; BIOLETTI, SUSAN; O'SULLIVAN, CAROL ANN (2009)
      The Old Library of Trinity College Dublin, built in 1732, is an internationally renowned research library. In recent decades it has also become a major tourist attraction in Dublin, with the display of the Book of Kells ...

    • Engineering information systems towards facilitating scrutable and configurable adaptation 

      KOIDL, KEVIN (Springer, 2008)
      End users of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) receive an experience that has been tailored towards their specific needs. Several AHS have produced favourable results showing benefits to the user experience [2]. However, ...

    • Eye-catching Crowds: Saliency based selective variation 

      O'Sullivan, Carol; Mc Donnell, Rachel (2009)
      Populated virtual environments need to be simulated with as much variety as possible. By identifying the most salient parts of the scene and characters, available resources can be concentrated where they are needed most. ...

    • Knowledge Delivery Mechanism for Autonomic Overlay Network Management 

      O'Sullivan, Declan; Lewis, David (IEEE, 2009)
      The complexity of current computing networks and the required fluidity of their operation requires autonomy to be central to the design and implementation of a managed overlay network. This paper presents a system in which ...

    • Exploring approaches to dynamic adaptation 

      CLARKE, SIOBHAN; FOX, JORGE (ACM, 2009)
      In this work, we compare current approaches to dynamic adaptation (DA) and identify the need for further research on mechanisms for DA, which should allow for higher compositionality and flexibility. Moreover, after ...

    • A unified approach to adaptive hypermedia personalisation and adaptive service composition 

      CONLAN, OWEN; O'KEEFFE, IAN BRIAN; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2006)
      Adaptive Hypermedia is utilised in several domains, such as eLearning and professional training, where there is a growing movement towards the use of cognitively richer and more `active? approaches to user engagement. ...

    • Personalised web experiences: Seamless adaptivity across web service composition and web content 

      O'KEEFFE, IAN BRIAN; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (Springer Verlag, 2009)
      Users have become accustomed to a web that is more than an interactive hypermedia but is a complex mix of rich multimedia services and hypermedia content. Users are now contributors and active participants on the web. ...
