Semantic Data Retrieval and Integration for Supporting Artworks Interpretation Through Integrative Narrative Networks
Full text linkSignificant recent advances in AI are progressively giving Digital Humanities a range of powerful tools to analyse and contextualise artworks using techniques from computer vision, pattern recognition, ontology engineering, natural language processing, and the semantic web. These tools help to analyse artworks and link them to insightful descriptions. However, to obtain the full potential of these tools we need to tackle two issues: (i) how to integrate the fragmented and sometimes contradictory information these various tools provide, and (ii) how to make it much easier for art historians, curators, and artists to use and extend these tools.
This paper addressed these questions with a focus on semantic web information retrieval and integration. It introduces a data structure called an Integrative Narrative Network (INN) that supports the integration of information from different knowledge sources, which formally represents the process of understanding as a question-answering approach. It further introduces the ongoing development of a tool by which an art historian can build up narrative networks by retrieving and selecting information queried from online available Knowledge Graphs. In particular, we show how semantic web resources can help to raise questions and find answers to them, through the real case study of a Late Renaissance artwork interpretation

How a Construction Grammar account solves the auxiliary controversy
No full textAbstract
The English auxiliaries have been a matter of dispute for decades with two
opposing views: one analysis treats them as main verbs that take a VP
complement; the other considers them as feature carriers. Proponents of both
approaches have convincingly pointed out each other’s weaknesses without however
settling the debate and without accounting for the fact that the English VP is
still evolving today. The goal of this paper is to show that Construction
Grammar offers a way out of the current status quo. This claim is substantiated
by a computational formalization of the English verb phrase in Fluid
Construction Grammar that includes a bi-directional processing model for
formulation and comprehension available for online testing.</jats:p
