Polar Meaning-Building Strategies: Acmeological Characteristics

Building meaning in schizophrenia.

The schizophrenia syndrome is clinically characterized by abnormal constructions of meaning during comprehension (delusions), perception (hallucinations), action (disorganized and non-goal-directed behavior) and language production (thought disorder). This article provides an overview of recent studies from our laboratory that have used event-related potentials and functional magnetic resonance...

Canadian Green Building Strategies

A frequent point of debate is the relationship between Green Building and Sustainable Development (SD). We take the view that SD is most applicable at the urban or societal level, since it includes issues of social equity and broad issues of economics, in addition to concerns about ecosystems and human health. We find it difficult to apply these broader societal issues to buildings in a practic...

Building Interpreters with Rewriting Strategies

Programming language semantics based on pure rewrite rules suffers from the gap between the rewriting strategy implemented in rewriting engines and the intended evaluation strategy. This paper shows how programmable rewriting strategies can be used to implement interpreters for programming languages based on rewrite rules. The advantage of this approach is that reduction rules are first class e...

Building Strategies, a Year Later

After participating in last year’s CLEF IP (2009) evaluation benchmark, our scores were rather low. The CLEF IP 2010 PAC task enabled us to correct some experiments and obtain better results, basically using the same techniques (almost the same BM25-category strategy as used last year) and improved strategy builder software, and less computing hardware at our disposal. The results are now compa...
