Write While You Search: Ambient Searching of a Digital Library in the Context of Writing

We consider ideas for a tighter integration of searching a digital library while writing a paper. A prototype system based on web services is described which allows us to explore the design space of ambient search tools to support and inspire the writing process.published or submitted for publicationis peer reviewe

Tool Support for Finding and Preventing Faults in Rule Bases

This thesis analyzes challenges for the correct creation of rule bases. Based on experiences and data from three rule base development projects, dedicated experiments and a survey of developers, ten main problem areas are identified. Four approaches in the area of Testing, Debugging, Anomaly Detection and Visualization are proposed and evaluated as remedies for these problem areas

Learning from Parsed Sentences with INTHELEX

In the context of language learning, we address a logical approach to information extraction. The system INTHELEX, used to carry out this task, requires a logic representation of sentences to run the learning algorithm. Hence, the need for parsers to produce structured representations from raw text. This led us to develop a prototypical Italian language parser, as a preprocessor in order to obtain the structured representation of sentences required for the symbolic learner to work. A preliminary experimentation proved that the logic approach to learning from language is able to capture the semantics underlying the kind of sentences that were processed, even if a comparison with classical methods as regards efficiency has still to be done
