In this paper, we propose an approach for inferring semantic role using subcategorization frames and maximum entropy model. Our approach aims to use the sub-categorization information of the verb to label the mandatory arguments of the verb in various possible ways. The ambiguity between the assignment of roles to mandatory arguments is resolved using the maximum entropy model. The unlabelled m...

Bioethics is, as is moral philosophy in general, a field spanning a range of different philosophical approaches, normative standpoints, methods and styles of analysis, metaphysics, and ontologies. In discussing bioethics, it is often seen as useful to introduce some kind of order on the field by categorizing individual philosophers or specific arguments into a relatively small number of categor...

‎A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S‎. ‎Yanofsky (2003)‎, ‎based on a pioneering work of F.W‎. ‎Lawvere (1969)‎, ‎in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function‎. ‎It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema‎. ‎Here‎, ‎we fi...

This paper proposes a theory of interpreting argument types as an integral part systematic and comprehensive ‘hermeneutics persuasive discourse’. It first explains how such hermeneutics can be developed based on pragmatic insights about the use language for purposes expressed in philosophy argument. Then, after having provided overview main hermeneutical stages involved discourse, focuses stage...

Models of the visual cortex are based on image decomposition according to the Fourier spectrum (amplitude and phase). On one hand, it is commonly believed that phase information is necessary to identify a scene. On the other hand, it is known that complex cells of the visual cortex, the most numerous ones, code only the amplitude spectrum. This raises the question of knowing if these cells carr...
