Semantics-first Natura rocessi
نویسنده
چکیده
There is no consensus on how syntax and semantic/pragmatics should interact in natural language processing. This paper focuses on one issue concerning interaction: order of processing. Two approaches are compared empirically: an interleaved syntax-first approach, in which semantic interpretations is performed at intermediate points during parsing; and a semantics-first approach, in which semantic considerations drive the rule selection process during parsing. The study provides empirical evidence that the semantics-first approach is more efficient than the syntax-first approach in processing texts in narrow domains.

The Logic of Inheritance in Frame Systems
This paper shows how the semantics of frames with exceptions can be described logically. We define a simple (purely declarative) frame language allowing for mult iple inheritance and meta classes (i.e. the instances of a class may be classes themselves). Expressions of this language are translated into first order formulas. Circumscript ion of a certain predicate in the result ing theory yields...

متن کاملThe Living in Lucretius’ De rerum natura: Animals’ ataraxia and Humans' Distress
In trying to comprehend the human role among other living beings from an antispeciesist point of view it is possible to look back to those thinkers who, far before our times, had already considered other living beings from a non-anthropocentric perspective. In this sense, a dialogue with the Ancients could be a useful way to identify a more solid ground on which to build a new relationship with...
متن کاملObject-based Change Detection Analysis for the Monitoring of Habitats in the Framework of the Natura 2000 Directive with Multi- Temporal Satellite Data
Multi-temporal and multi-sensor satellite information can supply valuable information about vegetation species, especially in the context of biodiversity. Main focus of the presented project CARE-X is the development of a remote sensing technology for the European monitoring of NATURA 2000 areas. For this type of monitoring, information about the structure and composition of the existing vegeta...
