Category−Theoretic Quantitative Compositional Distributional Models of Natural Language Semantics by Grefenstette, E

“…This thesis shows how this approach can be theoretically extended and practically implemented to produce concrete compositional distributional models of natural language semantics. It furthermore demonstrates that such models can perform on par with, or better than, other competing approaches in the field of natural language processing. …”

Category-theoretic quantitative compositional distributional models of natural language semantics by Grefenstette, E, Edward Grefenstette

“…This thesis shows how this approach can be theoretically extended and practically implemented to produce concrete compositional distributional models of natural language semantics. It furthermore demonstrates that such models can perform on par with, or better than, other competing approaches in the field of natural language processing.…”

Natural language variables: variable-based semantic theories of pronouns and proper names by Przyjemski, K

“…<p>Semanticists, philosophers and logicians have standardly analyzed a range of natural language expressions on the model of the variables of formal languages. …”

A formal refinement framework for the systems modeling language by Jacobs, P

“…We do so by utilising CSP as a semantic domain for reasoning about SysML behavioural aspects: activities, state machines and interactions are given a formal process-algebraic semantics. …”

On robustness for natural language processing by La Malfa, E

“…<p>As a discipline, machine learning has contributed to significant breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing (NLP), aiming to design algorithms to manipulate text and produce insights, such as classification and summarization, comparable to those of humans. …”

Categorical tools for natural language processing by de Felice, G

“…This thesis develops the translation between category theory and computational linguistics as a foundation for natural language processing. The three chapters deal with syntax, semantics and pragmatics. …”

Compositional distributional semantics with compact closed categories and Frobenius algebras by Kartsaklis, D

Lexical and semantic development of the basic vocabulary in English and Slovak by Urbániková, M

“…In this way not only the formal and semantic development of the basic vocabulary of the languages in question will be compared, but also the Swadesh list and the postulated unchanging nature of its items can be questioned and eventually a new set of words or even semantic fields that are the least prone to change in both form and semantic content can be determined (at least for the languages in question).…”

Structural foundations for probabilistic programming languages by Stein, DM

“…Not only do they share a similar goal, namely to act as an accessible, high-level interface to statistics, but synthetic probability theories are also the natural semantic domains for probabilistic programs. …”

Language models for ontology engineering by He, Y

“…Meanwhile, modern deep learning-based language models (LMs) represent a significant milestone in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), as they incorporate substantial background knowledge from the vast and complex distribution of textual data. …”

Ontology Evolution Under Semantic Constraints by Grau, B, Jimenez−Ruiz, E, Kharlamov, E, Zheleznyakov, D

Tightly Coupled Probabilistic Description Logic Programs for the Semantic Web. by Calì, A, Lukasiewicz, T, Predoiu, L, Stuckenschmidt, H

“…In particular, it is a logic-based representation formalism that naturally fits into the landscape of Semantic Web languages. …”

ShareAlike Your Data: Self-referential Usage Policies for the Semantic Web. by Krötzsch, M, Speiser, S

“…We present a general semantic framework for evaluating such recursive statements, show that it has desirable formal properties, and explain how it can be evaluated using existing tools. …”

Gestalt shifts in the liar or why KT4M is the logic of semantic modalities by Bobzien, S

Clefts, relatives, and language dynamics: the case of Japanese by Seraku, T

“…These two classes are uniformly modelled as an outcome of incremental semantic-tree growth. The analysis is corroborated by naturally-occurring data extracted from the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ). …”

Lexical borrowing in English: a case for a more detailed analysis by Durkin, P

“…</p><p> I will look at some of the complexities which are disguised by such approaches, and which should be flagged alongside a basic numerical analysis in any careful account:</p><p><ul><li>Etymologies are often more complex than crude summaries suggest: we find multiple inputs, dual etymologies, repeated formal or semantic borrowing from the same source.…”

Contact, cognates, and the Dictionary of Canadianisms Online by Fee, M, Dollinger, S

“…Poplack, Walker and Malcolmson 2006) does not apply the fine-grained semantic analysis proposed here and therefore tends to under-report the nature of French influence.…”

An examination of certain counterpart accounts by Milford, J

“…First, Lewis presents a formal first-order theory, counterpart theory. Second, Lewis provides a method for translating natural language modal claims into sentences of the language of counterpart theory. …”

Modality and expressibility by Mandelkern, M

“…This necessitates a fundamental reorientation in how to think about the choice between these semantics for epistemic modals, and yields a formal tool for comparing different semantics of fragments of natural language with broad applicability. …”
