Theoretical foundations for illocutionary structure parsing

Illocutionary structure in real language use is intricate and complex, and nowhere more so than in argument and debate. Identifying this structure without any theoretical scaffolding is extremely challenging even for humans. New work in Inference Anchoring Theory has provided significant advances in such scaffolding which are helping to allow the analytical challenges of argumentation structure...

Theoretical Foundations

This chapter addresses the theoretical foundations for research in educational communications and technology. Four relevant areas are explored: (1) the psychology of learning, (2) communications theory, (3) human–computer interaction, and (4) instructional design and development. Past work in these four areas can be viewed as providing a theoretical foundation for further research and developme...

Theoretical Foundations for Belief Revision

Belief revision systems are AI programs that deal with contradictions. They work with a knowledge base, performing reasoning from the propositions in the knowledge base, "filtering" those propositions so that only part of the knowledge base is perceived the set of propositions that are under consideration. This set of propositions is called the set of believed propositions. Typically, belief re...
