these are notes from introductory survey lectures given at the institute for studies in theoretical physics and mathematics (ipm), teheran, in 2008 and 2010. we present the definition and the fundamental properties of fomin-zelevinsky’s cluster algebras. then, we introduce quiver representations and show how they can be used to construct cluster variables, which are the canonical generators of ...

This paper investigates the derivation of words through process Infixation. Specifically, Prince & McCarthy’s morphologically-driven Phonological Readjustment theory and Yu’s phonologically-driven Subcategorizationtheory are compared to determine which two is better fit explain -um- Infixation in Javanese. I show here that Javanese infixation data crucial providing insight into this deb...

Dans cet article nous mobiliserons la notion d’éthos discursif dans le cadre d’une analyse des stratégies syntactico-énonciatives mises en place par Roberto Saviano, journaliste expert de mafias, lorsqu’il prend parole presse et les réseaux sociaux. Nous voulons montrer comment Saviano transmet ses connaissances du milieux mafieux adressant sa force persuasive deux directions : vers soi, pour c...

The aim of this paper is to propose a method of simulating – in a syntactico-semantic parser – the behaviour of semantic roles in case of a language that has no resources such as VerbNet of FrameNet, but has relatively rich morphosyntax (here: Polish). We argue that using an approximation of semantic roles derived from syntactic (grammatical functions) and morphosyntactic (grammatical cases) fe...

In this paper we argue that conversational dialog systems must model a multidimensional space defined by syntactico-semantic, circumstantial, and interactional dimensions. We take as a testcase the interpretation of a very simple query type within a conversational navigation system that we have implemented. We outline the decision logic this system follows in interpreting next-turn and numbered...

This paper presents the development of the SenSem project (BFF2003-06456),which aims at describing and representing the lexical, semantic, and syntactical behaviour of Spanish verbs. Two resources are being developed in the course of this project: a corpus of sentences associated to their syntactico-semantic interpretation, and a lexicon where each verb meaning is linked to a number of annotate...

An investigation of cascaded and parallel deep neural networks for speech synthesis is conducted. In these systems, suprasegmental linguistic features (syllable-level and above) are processed separately from segmental features (phone-level and below). The suprasegmental component of the networks learns compact distributed representations of high-level linguistic units without any segmental infl...
