We use imperatives to refute a näıve analysis of update potentials (force-operators attaching to sentences), arguing for a dynamic analysis of imperative force as restrictable, directed, and embeddable. We propose a dynamic, non-modal analysis of conditional imperatives, as a counterpoint to static, modal analyses (e.g., Schwager [16]). Our analysis retains Kratzer’s [8] analysis of if-clauses ...

First, we present a formal account of splitting a knowledge base into two parts, expanding our previous results motivated by avoiding the GG ardenfors triviality results for revision semantics for condition-als. Second, we propose a speciic revision function and show that this function is optimal in the sense, that after revision as few conditional consequences as possible are changed. Third, w...

This paper presents the main lines of investigation in the detection, classification and analysis of certain causal sentences in text documents. It also provides a few ideas to apply SoftComputing techniques in order to analyze the semantic characteristics of the selected sentences.

In scientific literature, sentences that cite related work can be a valuable resource for applications such as summarization, synonym identification, and entity extraction. In order to determine which equivalent entities are discussed in the various citation sentences, we propose aligning the words within these sentences according to semantic similarity. This problem is partly analogous to the ...
