Three Conceptions of Democratic Control

The idea of control or power is central to the notion of democracy, since the ideal is one of giving kratos to the demos: giving maximal or at least significant control over government to the people. But it turns out that the notion of kratos or control is definable in various ways and that as the notion is differently understood, so the ideal of democracy is differently interpreted. In this li...

Three Conceptions of Information Seeking and Use

This paper presents and discusses some major findings of a research project investigating the interaction between information seeking and learning outcomes. A group of 25 high school seniors engaged in a learning assignment were followed during the whole learning process including students’ information seeking and use. Each student was interviewed three times about his/her way of experiencing i...

Three Reasons to Adopt TAG-Based Surface Realisation

Surface realisation from flat semantic formulae is known to be exponential in the length of the input. In this paper, we argue that TAG naturally supports the integration of three main ways of reducing complexity: polarity filtering, delayed adjunction and empty semantic items elimination. We support these claims by presenting some preliminary results of the TAG-based surface realiser GenI.

Architecture-based Conceptions of Mind

It is argued that our ordinary concepts of mind are both implicitly based on architectural presuppositions and also cluster concepts. By showing that different information processing architectures support different classes of possible concepts, and that cluster concepts have inherent indeterminacy that can be reduced in different ways for different purposes we point the way to a research progra...
