Algebraic Structures in Natural Language
Algebraic Structures in Natural Language addresses a central problem in cognitive science concerning the learning procedures through which humans acquire and represent natural language. Until recently algebraic systems have dominated the study of natural language in formal and computational linguistics, AI, and the psychology of language, with linguistic knowledge seen as encoded in formal grammars, model theories, proof theories and other rule-driven devices. Recent work on deep learning has produced an increasingly powerful set of general learning mechanisms which do not apply rule-based algebraic models of representation. The success of deep learning in NLP has led some researchers to que...
Increasing Naturalness and Flexibility in Spoken Dialogue Interaction
This book compiles and presents a synopsis on current global research efforts to push forward the state of the art in dialogue technologies, including advances to language and context understanding, and dialogue management, as well as human–robot interaction, conversational agents, question answering and lifelong learning for dialogue systems.
Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and computational Structures, FOSSACS 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, March 26—April 3, 2011, as part of ETAPS 2011, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 30 revised full papers presented together with one full-paper length invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on coalgebra and computability, type theory, process calculi, automata theory, semantics, binding, security, and program analysis.
From Semantics to Computer Science
Gilles Kahn was one of the most influential figures in the development of computer science and information technology, not only in Europe but throughout the world. This volume of articles by several leading computer scientists serves as a fitting memorial to Kahn's achievements and reflects the broad range of subjects to which he contributed through his scientific research and his work at INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control. The authors also reflect upon the future of computing: how it will develop as a subject in itself and how it will affect other disciplines, from biology and medical informatics, to web and networks in general. Its breadth of coverage, topicality, originality and depth of contribution, make this book a stimulating read for all those interested in the future development of information technology.
Programming Languages and Systems
Annotation. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2010, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010, as part of ETAPS 2010, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 30 revised full papers, presented together with two invited talks (one abstract and one full), were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 full paper submissions. The topics addressed include programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages, methods and tools for reasoning about programs, methods and tools for implementation, and concurrency and distribution.
Formal Semantics in Modern Type Theories
This book studies formal semantics in modern type theories (MTTsemantics). Compared with simple type theory, MTTs have much richer type structures and provide powerful means for adequate semantic constructions. This offers a serious alternative to the traditional settheoretical foundation for linguistic semantics and opens up a new avenue for developing formal semantics that is both model-theoretic and proof-theoretic, which was not available before the development of MTTsemantics. This book provides a reader-friendly and precise description of MTTs and offers a comprehensive introduction to MTT-semantics. It develops several case studies, such as adjectival modification and copredication, to exemplify the attractiveness of using MTTs for the study of linguistic meaning. It also examines existing proof assistant technology based on MTT-semantics for the verification of semantic constructions and reasoning in natural language. Several advanced topics are also briefly studied, including dependent event types, an application of dependent typing to event semantics.
From fieldwork to linguistic theory
Dan Everett is a renowned linguist with an unparalleled breadth of contributions, ranging from fieldwork to linguistic theory, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of linguistics. Born on the U.S. Mexican border, Daniel Everett faced much adversity growing up and was sent as a missionary to convert the Pirahã in the Amazonian jungle, a group of people who speak a language that no outsider had been able to become proficient in. Although no Pirahã person was successfully converted, Everett successfully learned and studied Pirahã, as well as multiple other languages in the Ameri...
Connecting Social Semiotics, Grammaticality, and Meaningfulness
This monograph explores what linguistic categories can do to bring together syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology and information structure in a single analytic space. It assumes that an irreducible part of the semantics is shaped by reference in social semiotics to the extent of affecting grammaticality. It takes grammaticality as the central concept of grammar, and, through categories alone, provides an account of the meaningfulness of an expression that is consequent to the grammaticality of the expression. The role of the verb is crucial in relating the category choice to truth and decision in coming up with an account of the consequent meaningfulness. These aspects make linguistic ca...
Programming Languages and Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2014, which took place in Grenoble, France, in April 2014, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2014. The 27 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. In addition, the book contains two invited talks. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: type systems; verified compilation; program verification; semantics; concurrency; linear types; network and process calculi; and program analysis.
