An Introduction to Semiotic-Conceptual Analysis with Formal Concept Analysis

This paper presents a formalisation of Peirce’s notion of ‘sign’ using a triadic relation with a functional dependency. The three sign components are then modelled as concepts in lattices which are connected via a semiotic mapping. We call the study of relationships relating to semiotic systems modelled in this manner a semiotic-conceptual analysis. It is argued that semiotic-conceptual analyse...

Understanding Spontaneous Negotiation Dialogue

In this paper we present the task oriented context representation and the dialogue man ager for the Verbmobil translation system We show how to utilize statistical methods shallow extraction and propositional repre sentation to provide translation relevant in formation and most of all to enable the sys tem to automatically create a dialogue script and result summary

Gyan: a Methodology for Rule Extraction from Artiicial Neural Networks

Arti cial neural network ANN learning methods provide a robust and non linear approach to approximating the target function for many classi ca tion regression and clustering problems ANNs have demonstrated good pre dictive performance in a wide variety of practical problems However there are strong arguments as to why ANNs are not su cient for the general repre sentation of knowledge The argume...
