Understanding Natural Language Descriptions of Physical Phenomena
The fact that human readers can learn about the physical world from textual descriptions leads to a number of interesting questions about the connections between our conceptual understanding of the physical world and how it is reflected in natural language. This thesis investigates some forms in which information about physical phenomena is typically expressed in natural language and how this k...
متن کاملGenerating Approximate Geographic Descriptions
Georeferenced data sets are often large and complex. Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems are beginning to emerge that generate texts from such data. One of the challenges these systems face is the generation of geographic descriptions referring to the location of events or patterns in the data. Based on our studies in the domain of meteorology we present a two staged approach to generatin...
متن کاملPhase Space Descriptions of Quantum Phenomena
In this paper we show the deep connection between the WignerMoyal approach and the Bohm approach to quantum mechanics. We point out that the key equations used in the Bohm approach were already contained in Moyal’s classic 1949 paper. Furthermore we argue that these two approaches can be seen as different but related aspects of standard quantum formalism when the algebraic approach, rather than...
متن کاملNonlinear phenomena, optical and quantum solitons.
Research in the theory of solitons and its applications has undergone impressive development in recent years and has affected a broad range of fields, including theory of special functions, quantum integrable systems, numerical analysis, cellular automata, representations of quantum groups and discrete geometry among others. Robin K. Bullough (21 November 1929–30 August 2008) was a British math...
متن کاملQuadratic solitons as nonlocal solitons.
We show that quadratic solitons are equivalent to solitons of a nonlocal Kerr medium. This provides new physical insight into the properties of quadratic solitons, often believed to be equivalent to solitons of an effective saturable Kerr medium. The nonlocal analogy also allows for analytical solutions and the prediction of bound states of quadratic solitons.
