Computational semantics: linking language processing to applications

چکیده
Minimal recursion semantics (MRS) is a framework for computational semantics that is suitable for parsing and generation and that can be implemented in typed feature structure formalisms. We discuss why, in general, a semantic representation with minimal structure is desirable and illustrate how a descriptively adequate representation with a nonrecursive structure may be achieved. MRS enables a simple formulation of the grammatical constraints on lexical and phrasal semantics, including the principles of semantic composition. We have integrated MRS with a broadcoverage HPSG grammar.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملThe Comparative Semantics of ‘Recitation’ and ‘Chanting’ in the Holy Quran and Hadith’s Viewpoint
In linguistics, a study of the relation between word and meaning is called semantics. Semantics is a term for referring to study the meaning of elements of a language, particularly to study the real context of sentences and phrases of a language. The meaning of ‘recitation’ and ‘chanting’ in terms of Quranic, Hadith and idiomatic applications will be identified in this p...

In this paper, we describe the Baseball Announcers’ Language Linked with General Annotation of Meaningful Events (BALLGAME) project – a text corpus for research in computional semantics. We collected pitch-by-pitch event data for a sample of baseball games and used this data to build an annotated corpus composed of transcripts of radio broadcasts of these games. Our annotation links text from t...

There are hardly any an_notation schemes including semantic information, with the exception of Princeton WordNet (which will be extended by EuroWordNet for European languages). But some projects already addressed this topic, like FraCaS (Framework for Computational Semantics), or are starting to do this, like DIET (Diagnostic and Evaluation Tools for NL Applications, an extension of the TSNLP f...
متن کاملSpatial Representation: Discrete vs. Continuous Computational Models
Topological notions and methods are used in various areas of the physical sciences and engineering, and therefore computer processing of topological data is important. Separate from this, but closely related, are computer science uses of topology: applications to programming language semantics and computing with exact real numbers are important examples. The seminar concentrated on an important...
