In this paper we describe experiments with automated detection of metaphors in the Polish language. We focus our analysis on noun phrases composed of an adjective and a noun, and distinguish three types of expressions: with literal sense, with metaphorical sense, and expressions both literal and methaphorical (context-dependent). We propose a method of automatically recognizing expression type ...

With the aim of pushing limiting magnitude interferometric instruments, need for wide-band detection channels and a coordinated operation different instruments has considerably grown in field long-baseline interferometry. For this reason, Center High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA), an array six telescopes, requires new configuration longitudinal dispersion compensators to keep fringe cont...

Quantified Boolean logic results from adding operators to for existentially and universally quantifying variables. This extends the reach of by enabling a variety applications that have been explored over decades. The existential quantification literals (variable states) its also studied in literature. In this paper, we complement studying universal literal applications, particularly explainabl...

In this paper we recast the formalism of argumentation formalismknownasDeLP (DefeasibleLogicProgramming) in game-theoretic terms. By considering a game between a Proponent and an Opponent, in which they present arguments for and against each literal we obtain a bigger gamut of truth values for those literals and their negations as they are defended and attacked. An important role in the determi...

In this paper we propose and describe a framework for evaluating and diagnosing the understanding component of a spoken dialog system which can be applied to both literal and contextual understanding. We have observed in a previous experiment that contextual understanding performance is strongly correlated to the user satisfaction. The framework uses a glassbox approach to diagnose the interpre...
