We all share the intuition from everyday experience that we interpret sentences incrementally and generally effortlessly, but there has been a big gap between this intuition and the state-of-the-art in linguistics and psycholinguistics. In psycholinguistics, semantic interpretation has been somewhat of a poor cousin, compared to the great deal of attention that has been devoted to syntactic pro...

The present paper considers distributed consensus algorithms that involve N agents evolving on a connected compact homogeneous manifold. The agents track no external reference and communicate their relative state according to a communication graph. The consensus problem is formulated in terms of the extrema of a cost function. This leads to efficient gradient algorithms to synchronize (i.e. max...

We have recently made significant changes to the BBN DELPHI syntactic and semantic analysis component. These goal of these changes was to maintain the fight coupling between syntax and semantics characteristic of earlier versions of DELPHI, while making it possible for the system to provide useful semantic interpretations of input for which complete syntactic analysis is impossible. Semantic in...
