Thomas Eisner: Interpreter extraordinaire of nature's chemistry.
O n March 25, 2011, Thomas Eisner died after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. His tremendous legacy included founding and nurturing the scientific discipline of chemical ecology. Tom, though, might be the only person in the field to dispute his rights to the title, “Father of Chemical Ecology”—indeed, in one interview (1), he wryly opined that such claims cried out for DNA...
متن کاملStatement — Jason Eisner
Much of my research in computational linguistics has been bound up with two emerging strategies of the 1990’s: statistical optimality and phonological optimality. Statistics properly used can translate and enrich linguistic theories—rather than replacing them—and can connect those theories to processing models. That is, the statistical worldview need not be tied to simplistic engineering tricks...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Probabilistic Finite - State Transducers ∗ Jason Eisner
Weighted finite-state transducers suffer from the lack of a training algorithm. Training is even harder for transducers that have been assembled via finite-state operations such as composition, minimization, union, concatenation, and closure, as this yields tricky parameter tying. We formulate a “parameterized FST” paradigm and give training algorithms for it, including a general bookkeeping tr...

متن کاملThomas Metzinger
Why Is a Representationalist Analysis Useful? In this chapter I will briefly sketch the outline of a representationalist theory of subjective experience. (See also Metzinger 1993, forthcoming). A representationalist theory is one that chooses to analyze its target properties – those aspects of the domain which eventually are to be explained – on a certain level of description: by describing con...
