Bottom-Up Modernity: Andrey Platonov’s Socialist Surrealism

Bottom-up Game Studies

In this paper, we endorse and advance an emerging bottomup approach to game studies that utilizes techniques from natural language processing. Our contribution is threefold: we present the first complete review of the growing body of work through which this methodology has been innovated; we present a latent semantic analysis model that constitutes the first application of this fundamental bott...

We discuss the scanning step for bottom-up Earley deduction and indexing sch...

A context-free grammar is a tuple G = (V, T, S,P), where the elements of the tuple represent, respectively, the vocabulary of terminal and nontermi...
