Interpreting singular definite descriptions in database queries
1985
Proceedings of the second conference on European chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics -
unpublished
Some proposals are made for assessing the uniqueness claim of the singular definite article in the context of retrieval from a relational database. ...
The paper examines some of the characteristic features of natural language interaction with a database system and its implications for the processing of singular definite descriptions. ...
A natural language query to a relational database is usually translated into a query language based on the relationsl calculus and the singular definite article is represented by the existential quantifier ...

Audio retrieval by latent perceptual indexing
2008
Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing
We present a query-by-example audio retrieval framework by indexing audio clips in a generic database as points in a latent perceptual space. ...
By singular-value decomposition of this matrix, each audio clip of the database is mapped into a a point in the latent perceptual space. This is used for indexing the retrieval system. ...
This makes it is easier to resolve particular aspects of descriptions of audio by including appropriate keywords in the query. ...

Conversational querying
2006
Information Systems
In this paper, we present an effective mechanism that allows a user to interact with a database system in a way similar to the way humans converse. ...
The results have been encouraging, especially when semantic knowledge from the schema is exploited, laying a potential foundation for conversational querying in databases. r ...
Without them, the presented results would be substantially poorer in quality. ...

Concerning Referring Expressions in Query Answers
2017
Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
In the context of a query over a first order knowledge base, referring expressions to answers are usually constant symbols. ...
This paper motivates and initiates the exploration of allowing more general formulas, called singular referring expressions, to replace constants in this role. ...

DEFINITE DESCRIPTIONS
Plural definite descriptions are handled in a parallel fashion to their singular counterparts, except that the restriction employs subset in a similar way to plural pronouns. ...
However, the CLE external context interface (Section 5.2) allows collec- tions, such as the set of answers to a database query, to be included in the model.

Restricted inflectional form generation in management of morphological keyword variation

Information retrieval (Boston)
However, in both approaches the idea is to turn many inflectional word forms to a single lemma or stem both in the database index and in queries. This means extra effort in creating database indexes. ...

Linear approximation of planar spatial databases using transitive-closure logic

Proceedings of the nineteenth ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGART symposium on Principles of database systems - PODS '00
suffices to express the approximation query in an effective manner. ...
This result together with our first result implies that this extension of transitive-closure logic can express all computable topological queries on arbitrary spatial databases in the plane. ...
PRELIMINARIES AND DEFINITIONS In this section, we define spatial databases and the standard first-order query language for spatial databases. ...

A User Interface for Emergent Semantics in Image Databases
[chapter]
1999
Database Semantics
With our definition, meaning is no longer a characteristic of the image that is extracted and compared in the querying process. Meaning is a product of the query process. ...
In this paper, we discuss image semantics and the repercussions that its correct definition have on the design of image databases. ...
INTRODUCTION In this paper we propose a new theory of image semantics, and study some of the consequences of the new definition on image databases. ...
