A method for measuring sentence similarity and its application to conversational agents (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., Bandar, Z., McLean, D., & O'Shea, J. (2004, May). A method for measuring sentence similarity and its application to conversational agents. Presented at The 17th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society (FLAIRS) Conference, Florida, USA

This paper presents a novel algorithm for computing similarity between very short texts of sentence length. It will introduce a method that takes account of not only semantic information but also word order information implied in the sentences. First...

Obtaining E-R diagrams semi-automatically from natural language specifications (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Meziane, F., & Vadera, S. (2004, April). Obtaining E-R diagrams semi-automatically from natural language specifications. Poster presented at Sixth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2004), Universidade Portucalense, Porto, Portugal

Since their inception, entity relationship models have played a central role in systems specification, analysis
and development. They have become an important part of several development methodologies and standards
such as SSADM. Obtaining entity r... Read More about Obtaining E-R diagrams semi-automatically from natural language specifications.

An e-readiness framework for construction materials procurement (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Adzroe, E., & Goulding, J. (2004, April). An e-readiness framework for construction materials procurement. Presented at Fourth International Postgraduate Research Conference in the Built and Human Environment, Salford

The traditional system of construction materials procurement is predominantly a paper-based transaction based on procedural processes. This approach has several limitations, most notably concerning communication difficulties with suppliers, contracto...

Examining the sustainability impacts of mega-sports events: fuzzy mapping as a new integrated appraisal system (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Dodouras, S., & James, P. (2004, March). Examining the sustainability impacts of mega-sports events: fuzzy mapping as a new integrated appraisal system. Presented at 4th International Postgraduate Research Conference in the Built and Human Environment, Salford

Unlike other aspects of daily life and work, the pursuit of sustainable
development in our communities requires an understanding of complex and
sometimes counterintuitive processes that unfold over a long period of time. In order
to develop these... Read More about Examining the sustainability impacts of mega-sports events: fuzzy mapping as a new integrated appraisal system.
