The role of rationality and intuition in creating strategic military documents by Štěpánková Eva, Binková Kristýna

“…However, intuition prevails in the ratio of both approaches, which can be the cause of not quite optimal output. Processed strategic documents suffer from some shortcomings (i.e. inconsistency of formal and content aspects, insufficient measurability, objectivity and comparability), which are related to insufficient or incorrect use of exact methods and a systematic approach. …”

Joint Entity–Relation Extraction for Knowledge Graph Construction in Marine Ranching Equipment by Du Chen, Zhiwu Gao, Sirui Li, Xuruixue Guo, Yaqi Wu, Haiyu Zhang, Delin Zhang

“…This study proposes the first knowledge graph (KG) framework tailored for marine ranching equipment, integrating hybrid ontology design, joint entity–relation extraction, and graph-based knowledge storage: (1) The limitations in existing KG are obtained through targeted questionnaires for diverse users and employees; (2) A domain ontology was constructed through a combination of the top-down and the bottom-up approach, defining seven key concepts and eight semantic relationships; (3) Semi-structured data from enterprises and standards, combined with unstructured data from the literature were systematically collected, cleaned via Scrapy and regular expression, and standardized into JSON format, forming a domain-specific corpus of 1456 annotated sentences; (4) A novel BERT-BiGRU-CRF model was developed, leveraging contextual embeddings from BERT, parameter-efficient sequence modeling via BiGRU (Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit), and label dependency optimization using CRF (Conditional Random Field). …”
