Concept Parsing Algorithms (CPA) for Textual Analysis and Discovery: Emerging Research and Opportunities (Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics)

"This book discusses parts of a universal digital library containing documents that communicate knowledge with controlled vocabularies of sublanguages in the various STEM disciplines: Science; Technology; Engineering; and Mathematics. We also discuss tools and methodologies that allow researchers and learners to explore and discover content 'code words', as well as to index the conceptual content of documents"--

Uri Shafrir is associate professor in Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and Director of Adult Study Skills Clinic at Faculty of Information of University of Toronto. His recent research focuses on concept parsing algorithms in various knowledge domains and on instructional methodologies for deep comprehension of conceptual content that enhance learning outcomes. Shafrir received doctorate in mathematical sciences from the University of California at Los Angeles and doctorate in developmental psychology from York University, Toronto. Shafrir was founder and director of the Institute of Planetary and Space Science at Tel-Aviv University; before moving to the University of Toronto he was Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin and at Columbia University.
