Semantic Web is a maturing field of technology that continues to be the emphasis of much focused re-search and industrial investigation. The central idea behind Semantic Web is to enhance data on the World Wide Web by so-called metadata, which describes the meaning (semantics) of the data and thus makes it available for processing in intelligent systems. In this course we cover in depth the standardized knowledge representation languages for expressing metadata, called ontology languages. We will in particular cover the Resource Description Framework RDF and the Web Ontology Language OWL, both of which are recommended standards by the World …

Cs 499/699-01: Logic For Computer Scientists, Pascal Hitzler

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

Logic is often called the Calculus of Computer Science. Indeed, logic permeates most areas of Computer Science in one way or the other, sometimes more prominently, and sometimes as motivational or formal underpinning. Examples are database schema, program verification, semantics of programming languages, computer security, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, Web information systems, computer hardware circuitry, or modeling in software engineering.


Enhance Rule Based Detection For Software Fault Prone Modules, H. Najadat, Izzat M. Alsmadi Jan 2012

Enhance Rule Based Detection For Software Fault Prone Modules, H. Najadat, Izzat M. Alsmadi

Computer Science Faculty Publications (Archived)

Software quality assurance is necessary to increase the level of confidence in the developed software and reduce the overall cost for developing software projects. The problem addressed in this research is the prediction of fault prone modules using data mining techniques. Predicting fault prone modules allows the software managers to allocate more testing and resources to such modules. This can also imply a good investment in better design in future systems to avoid building error prone modules. Software quality models that are based upon data mining from previous projects can identify fault-prone modules in the current similar development project, once …


Parsing Combinatory Categorial Grammar Via Planning In Answer Set Programming, Yuliya Lierler, Peter Schueller Jan 2012

Parsing Combinatory Categorial Grammar Via Planning In Answer Set Programming, Yuliya Lierler, Peter Schueller

Computer Science Faculty Books and Monographs

Essay, Parsing Combinatory Categorial Grammar via Planning in Answer Set Programming, from Correct reasoning: essays on logic-based AI in honour of Vladimir Lifschitz, co-authored by Yuliya Lierler, UNO faculty member. Combinatory categorial grammar (CCG) is a grammar formalism used for natural language parsing. CCG assigns structured lexical categories to words and uses a small set of combinatory rules to combine these categories to parse a sentence. In this work we propose and implement a new approach to CCG parsing that relies on a prominent knowledge representation formalism, answer set programming (ASP) - a declarative programming paradigm. We formulate the …
