The present work deals with the extraction of emotional expressions and tagging of English blog sentences with Ekman’s six basic emotion tags and any of the three intensities: low, medium and high. Baseline system is developed based on WordNet Affect lists and dependency relations. Support Vector Machine (SVM) based supervised framework is employed by incorporating different word and context le...

This study examined learning and transfer of a simple mathematical concept when learning a symbolic sentential format versus learning a diagrammatic format. Undergraduate college students learned an instantiation of a cyclic group and were then given a test of a novel isomorphic group of the same order followed by a test of a novel non-isomorphic group of a higher order. The results were that b...

This paper addresses the issue of what approach should be used for building a corpus of sentential paraphrases depending on one’s requirements. Six strategies are studied: (1) multiple translations into a single language from another language; (2) multiple translations into a single language from different other languages; (3) multiple descriptions of short videos; (4) multiple subtitles for th...

The sentential theory of propositional attitudes is very attractive to AI workers, but it is difficult to use such a theory to assign semantics to English sentences about attitudes. The problem is that a compositional semantics cannot easily build the logical forms that the theory requires. We present a new notation for a sentential theory, and a unification grammar that builds logical forms in...

In this paper I explore the logical range of sentential negation types predicted by the theory of HPSG. I find that typological surveys confirm that attested simple negation strategies neatly line up with the types of lexical material given by assuming Lexical Integrity and standard Phrase Structure Grammar dependencies. I then extend the methodology to bipartite negation and derive a space of ...

This paper presents a webservice architecture for Statistical Machine Translation aimed at non-technical users. A workflow editor allows a user to combine different webservices using a graphical user interface. In the current state of this project, the webservices have been implemented for a range of sentential and sub-sentential aligners. The advantage of a common interface and a common data f...

In this paper we present a certain conception of truth for intensional logics. This conception is a natural generalization of the well-known relational semantics for intensional systems. It is based on some ideas set forth by Suszko and Wójcicki in the seventies. Let S = (S, f1, f2, ...) be a sentential language, i.e., S is an absolutely free algebra generated by an infinite set of sentential v...

Being confronted with spontaneous speech, our current annotation scheme requires alterations that would reflect the abundant use of non-sentential fragments with clausal meaning tightly connected to their context, which do not systematically occur in written texts. The purpose of this paper is to list the common patterns of non-sentential fragments and their contexts and to find a smooth resolu...
