If so many are “few,” how few are “many”?
The scope of reference of a word's meaning can be highly variable. We present a novel paradigm to investigate the flexible interpretation of word meaning. We focus on quantifiers such as "many" or "few," a class of words that depends on number knowledge but can be interpreted in a flexible manner. Healthy young adults performed a truth value judgment task on pictorial arrays of varying amounts ...
متن کاملIdentification of Critical Values in Latent Semantic Indexing
In this chapter we analyze the values used by Latent Sematic Indexing (LSI) for information retrieval. By manipulating the values in the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) matrices, we find that a significant fraction of the values have little effect on overall performance, and can thus be removed (changed to zero). This allows us to convert the dense term by dimension and document by dimension...
متن کاملMany players , few participants ∗
We derive equilibrium properties of participation in a large family of economic games that take place when players’ information is incomplete. The fact that participation is almost always costly introduces a crucial distinction between players and participants. The number of players is exogenous but the number, or distribution, of participants is part of equilibrium. We assume a quite general s...
متن کاملQuery expansion based on relevance feedback and latent semantic analysis
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. Constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expa...
متن کاملSemantics as information about semantic values
I suggest that the core ideas of Kit Fine’s Semantic Relationism are the notion of semantic requirement and the notion of manifest consequence, the non-classical logical relation associated with semantic requirement. Surrounding this core are novel “relational” systems of coordinated sequences of expressions, relational (as opposed to intrinsic) semantic values, coordinated propositions, and co...
