Shifty Operators in Changing Contexts

It 's fair to say that the study of indexicality has been primarily occupied with an­ swering one question: Why are certain elements I, you, yesterday opaque to modal quantification? Indeed, Kaplan ( 1977), the most celebrated theory of index­ icality, is designed precisely to answer this question: indexicals are rigidly speci­ fied once the character of a sentence is applied to the utterance c...

Expressions are analyzed both inductively by breaking them apart, and co-inductively by embedding them within larger contexts.

Dealing with Changing Contexts in Myoelectric Control

Myoelectric prostheses approximate the motion and flexibility of biological limbs, especially when compared to their mechanical counter-parts. Machine learning enhances the functionality of these devices; however, in an everchanging environment, the effectiveness of conventional approaches is impeded. We introduce Partition Tree Learning—a method for learning predictions in an ongoing fashion w...

Changing Places: Contexts of Awareness in Computing

By allowing any social institution to structure activity in any place, wireless information services break down the traditional mapping between institutions and places. This phenomenon greatly complicates the analysis of context for purposes of designing context-aware computing systems. Context has a physical, architectural aspect, but most aspects of context will also be defined in institution...
