There is accumulating evidence that divorced and separated people have much higher suicide rates than their married counterparts. In a previous paper published in this journal, it was observed that divorced and separated men were nearly 2.4 times more likely to kill themselves than their married counterparts.

We report on a mechanism for semantic and pragmatic interpretation that has been designed to take advantage of the generally compositional nature of semantic analysis, without unduly constraining the order in which pragmatic decisions are made. To achieve this goal, we introduce the idea of a conditional interpretation: one that depends upon a set of assumptions about subsequent pragmatic proce...

Primary alteration of uranpyrochlore from granitic pegmatites is characterized by the substitutions ADYD-+ ACaYO, ANaYF -+ ACaYO, and ANaYOI-I --+ ACaYO. Alteration occurred at ""450-650 °C and 2-4 kbar with fluid-phase compositions characterized by relatively low aNa+,high aeaH, and high pH. In contrast, primary alteration of pyrochlore from nepheline syenites and carbonatites follows a differ...

The general aim of this work is to investigate how the addition of state-of-the-art reasoning capabilities can be useful in a dialogue system. In particular we will work with FrOz, a dialogue system that was developed at the University of Saarbrücken to explore this idea. FrOz is a text adventure game that uses Description Logics to codify a given game state. It is assisted by a theorem prover ...
