An Introduction to Cognitive Grammar (CG)

A theory frames how we view a subject and how we expect to research it; grammatical theories are no exceptions. A given theoretical frame will allow us, or occasionally force us, to see certain aspects of a discipline in a certain way while preventing us from seeing other aspects that an alternative theory might naturally bring into view. In this regard, theorists are like tourguides who point ...

Introduction to Genetic Programming

Genetic Programming (GP) is a method to evolve computer programs. And the reason we would want to try this is because, as anyone who’s done even half a programming course would know, computer programming is hard. Automatic programming has been the goal of computer scientists for a number of decades. Scientists would like to be able to give the computer a problem and ask the computer to build a ...

Introduction to Asynchronous Programming

We will start by reviewing two (hopefully) familiar models in order to contrast them with the asynchronous model. By way of illustration we will imagine a program that consists of three conceptually distinct tasks which must be performed to complete the program. Note I am using task in the non-technical sense of something that needs to be done. The first model we will look at is the single-thre...
