Journal ArticleDOI
An intersection‐based trajectory‐region movement study
TL;DR: A formal model of the evolving spatial relationships that transition between local topologies with respect to a trajectory and a region as well as a querying mechanism to analyze movement patterns are proposed and designed.
Book ChapterDOI
Semi-automated derivation of conceptual neighborhood graphs of topological relations
TL;DR: A semi-automated method is proposed for deriving a conceptual neighborhood graph of topological relations, which shows all pairs of relations between which a smooth transformation can be performed, applicable to various sets ofTopological relations distinguished by the 9+-intersection.
Arrow Symbols: Theory for Interpretation
TL;DR: This thesis develops a computational method for deducing the semantic roles of arrow symbols, called the arrow semantic interpreter (ASI), which is highly desirable for more effective and user-friendly pen-based systems.
Dissertation
A new horizon for the recommendation: Integration of spatial dimensions to aid decision making
TL;DR: A PRM-based personalized recommender system that is capable of making recommendations from user queries in cold-start systems without user profiles is proposed and the problem of integrating spatial information into a PRM is addressed.

Book
Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling
Alfred V. Aho,Jeffrey D. Ullman +1 more
TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
