Natural Pragmatics and Natural Codes
Grice (1957) drew a famous distinction between natural(N) and non-natural(NN) meaning, where what is meant(NN) is broadly equivalent to what is intentionally communicated. This paper argues that Grice’s dichotomy overlooks the fact that spontaneously occurring natural signs may be intentionally shown , and hence used in intentional communication. It also argues that some naturally occurring beh...
متن کاملPragmatics and Natural Language Generation
This paper addresses the question "why and how is it that we say the same thing differently to different people, or even to the same person in different circumstances?" We vary the content and form of our text in order to convey more information than is contained in the literal meanings of our words. This information expresses the speaker's interpersonal goals toward the hearer and, in general,...
متن کاملSparse Codes for Natural Images
The human visual system, at the primary cortex, has receptive fields that are spatially localized, oriented and bandpass. It has been shown that a certain learning algorithm to produce sparse codes for natural images leads to basis functions with similar properties. This learning algorithm optimizes a cost function that trades off representation quality for sparseness, and searches for sets of ...
متن کاملDiscourse Pragmatics in Task-Oriented Natural Language Interfaces
This paper reviews discourse phenomena that occur frequently in task.oriented man.machine dialogs, reporting on a~n empirical study that demonstrates the necessity of handling ellipsis, anaphora, extragrammaticality, inter-sentential metalanguage, and other abbreviatory devices in order to achieve convivial user interaction. Invariably, users prefer to generate terse or fragmentary utterances i...
متن کاملBranching MERA codes: a natural extension of polar codes
We introduce a new class of circuits for constructing efficiently decodable error-correction codes, based on a recently discovered contractible tensor network [1]. We perform an indepth study of a particular example that can be thought of as an extension to Arikan’s polar code [2]. Notably, our numerical simulation show that this code polarizes the logical channels more strongly while retaining...
