Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India, with more than 300 million speakers. As there is no separation between the characters of texts written in Hindi as there is in English, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems developed for the Hindi language carry a very poor recognition rate. In this paper we propose an OCR for printed Hi...

The noun growth of the number of thesauri has not served to respond to the necessity to work in multidiciplinar surroundings. In order to respond to this situation, it was fomented, at a first moment, the fusion of thesauri with object to adapt the preexisting ones to the necessities raised by the new dominions. Later, in the eagerness to take care...
El sustantivo crecimiento del número de tesauros no ha servido para responder a la necesidad de trabajar en entornos multidisciplinares. Para responder a esta situación, se fomentó, en un primer momento, la fusión de tesauros con objeto de adaptar los preexistentes a las necesidades planteadas por los nuevos dominios. Más tarde, en el afán de atend...
La inclusión de categorías morfológicas distintas a los sustantivos en los tesauros es actualmente la línea de investigación más desarrollada para mejorar las deficiencias de este tipo de herramientas en la recuperación de información.
