Interpretation of approximate numerical expressions: Computational model and empirical study
Approximate Numerical Expressions (ANEs) are linguistic expressions involving numerical values and referring to imprecise ranges of values, illustrated by examples such as “about 100 ”. In this paper, a general principle is proposed to interpret uncontextualised ANEs as intervals of denoted values. It is based on an empirically justified combination of characteristics of numerical values, both ...
متن کاملHow Much Is "About"? Fuzzy Interpretation of Approximate Numerical Expressions
Approximate Numerical Expressions (ANEs) are linguistic expressions involving numbers and referring to imprecise ranges of values, such as “about 100”. This paper proposes to interpret ANEs as fuzzy numbers. A model, taking into account the cognitive salience of numbers and based on critical points from Pareto frontiers, is proposed to characterise the support, the kernel and the 0.5-cut of the...
متن کاملA computational multilayered model for the interpretation of locative expressions
In this paper, we outline some practical solutions to some classical problems in spatial cognition. In pa rticular, we focus on the controversial area of the pragmatic interpretation of spatial preposition and verbs. Our work is given particular urgency by the need to produce solutions which are tractable enough to be implemented immediately in an NL interface to a mult imedia environment whose...
متن کاملA Computational Model for the Interpretation of Static Locative Expressions
available. The paper claims that a strict interaction is needed between the representation of spatial prepositions and the general world knowledge encoded in the dictionary/encyclopaedia1. The paper presents an approach to the interpretation of prepositions in locative expressions, i.e. expressions such as the cat is on the mat. Such expressions describe a scene where an object is located, or i...
متن کاملA Computational Interpretation of Context-Free Expressions
We phrase parsing with context-free expressions as a type inhabitation problem where values are parse trees and types are contextfree expressions. We first show how containment among context-free and regular expressions can be reduced to a reachability problem by using a canonical representation of states. The proofs-as-programs principle yields a computational interpretation of the reachabilit...
