François Truffaut l’a montré à de multiples reprises : il est l’un des grands épistoliers la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Par masse lettres écrites — plusieurs milliers, par jour l’adolescence mort —, leur variété, diversité personnes auxquelles s’adressait. Et l’inégalable pouvoir qu’il conférait une puissance séduction, conviction, confession, d’information et polémique, portée, selon tous c...

Motivated by considerations in the foundations of quantum mechanics and inspired by the literature on vague predicates, we introduce the concept of an opaque predicate. While in the case of vague predicates there is a kind of indeterminacy with respect to the predicate, in the sense that the vagueness concerns whether a well-determined object satisfies it or not, in the case of opaque predicate...

The production of color language is essential for grounded language generation. Color descriptions have many challenging properties: they can be vague, compositionally complex, and denotationally rich. We present an effective approach to generating color descriptions using recurrent neural networks and a Fouriertransformed color representation. Our model outperforms previous work on a condition...
