Informativity and asymmetry in comparisons.
We propose an account of comparison asymmetries based on viewing comparison as a process of structural alignment and mapping. Specifically, we hypothesize that (1) comparison asymmetries result from directional differences in informativity, and that (2) asymmetries can therefore be predicted from the relative degree of systematicity or conceptual coherence of the items being compared. In Experi...
متن کاملUtility, Informativity and Protocols
Recently, quantitative notions of relevance have been proposed for questions and assertions and, based on an assumption of optimal relevance, used for linguistic applications. BarHillel and Carnap’s (1953) notion of informativity (their ‘inf’ value) has already been used in traditional pragmatics of natural language; Merin (1999a,b) proposes that the relevance of a proposition q should be seen ...
متن کاملInformativity-based Maximality Conditions*
Von Fintel, Fox and Iatridou 2005/2012 argue that 'the NP' should not be taken to refer to the largest NP-object, as is commonly thought, but rather to the object x such that the proposition 'x satisfies NP' is maximally informative. In particular, they show that in some cases an informativity-based treatment correctly predicts that 'the NP' should refer to the smallest rather than to the large...
متن کاملIncremental Pattern Recognition by Maximum Conditional Informativity
Sequential pattern recognition assumes the features to be measured successively, one at a time, and therefore the key problem is to choose the next feature optimally. However, the choice of the features may be strongly influenced by the previous feature measurements and therefore the online ordering of features is difficult. There are numerous methods to estimate class-conditional probability d...
متن کاملA quantitative approach to semantic informativity
This article shows a form of measuring semantic informativity of deductions. Dynamic concepts of complexity and relevancy are presented according to explicit definitions of insertion and deletion on databases. Hence, with respect to finite databases, it solves Bar-Hillel-Carnap paradox and Hintikka’ scandal of deduction.
