Editorial: Encountering each other

Understanding "Each Other"

Although natural language is ambiguous, various linguistic and extra-linguistic factors often help determine a preferred reading. In this paper , we show that model generation can be used to model this process in the case of reciprocal statements. The proposed analysis builds on insights from Dalrymple et al. 98 and is shown to provide an integrated, computational account of the interplay betwe...

Improve Each Other?

We approach the problem of adaptively combining the predictions of an ensemble of seasonal climate models as a Multi-task Learning (MTL) problem. Unlike the traditional MTL setting, we only have a single functional task (combining the predictions ensemble members), where we consider multiple forecast periods from the same suite of models as our multiple learning tasks. Even though the same mode...

Linearizing sets: each other

It is has been well known since Fiengo and Lasnik (1973) and Langendoen (1978) that each other presents a high degree of contextual variability. In a tradition that goes back to Langendoen (1978) and later to Dalrymple et al. (1998), theoreticians have tried to list different truth conditions and to establish a criterion for determining which one holds in which particular context. Along the lin...

He defines intimacy as an emotional experience of contact with oneself and with another subject. He then focuses on describing the experience of intimacy in the analytic relationship, asserting that the encounter between two subjects and their subjectivities creates an area of emo...
