Phases and Interpretability

چکیده
We adopt a theory of relativisation based on the idea that relatives, like wh-constructions in the analysis of Chomsky (1998), require two sorts of features to construct their LF-interpretation. We argue that it is the variable interpetability of these features that gives rise to different syntactic patterns. We use this theory to provide an explanation for some curious syntactic facts found in Celtic relative constructions, arguing that such a theory provides a unified explanation for a broad range of phenomena. The two features which we claim are relevant to Relativisation are Λ and Var: Λ is interpeted at LF as something which creates a predicate from a proposition, so that a CP containing a Λ feature will be interpreted as a predicate which abstracts over some variable. The function of the Var feature is to identify this variable. Schematically, we have (1), where X’ is the interpretation of X:

Application of a Neuro-fuzzy Network with Support Vector Learning to a Solar Power Plant
A neuro-fuzzy system based on a radial basis function network and using support vector learning is considered for non-linear modeling. In order to reduce the number of fuzzy rules, and improve the system interpretability, the proposed method proceeds in two phases. Firstly, the input-output data is clustered according to the subtractive clustering method. Secondly the parameters of the network,...

In this study, a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is utilized to extract interpretable and compact fuzzy rule bases for modeling nonlinear Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) systems. In the process of non- linear system identi cation, structure selection, parameter estimation, model performance and model validation are important objectives. Furthermore, se- curing low-level and high-level ...
متن کاملDiscriminant functional gene groups identification with machine learning and prior knowledge
In computational biology, the analysis of high-throughput data poses several issues on the reliability, reproducibility and interpretability of the results. It has been suggested that one reason for these inconsistencies may be that in complex diseases, such as cancer, multiple genes belonging to one or more physiological pathways are associated with the outcomes. Thus, a possible approach to i...
متن کاملDesigning fuzzy inference systems from data: An interpretability-oriented review
Fuzzy inference systems (FIS) are widely used for process simulation or control. They can be designed either from expert knowledge or from data. For complex systems, FIS based on expert knowledge only may suffer from a loss of accuracy. This is the main incentive for using fuzzy rules inferred from data. Designing a FIS from data can be decomposed into two main phases: automatic rule generation...
متن کاملInducing Interpretability in Knowledge Graph Embeddings
We study the problem of inducing interpretability in KG embeddings. Specifically, we explore the Universal Schema (Riedel et al., 2013) and propose a method to induce interpretability. There have been many vector space models proposed for the problem, however, most of these methods don’t address the interpretability (semantics) of individual dimensions. In this work, we study this problem and p...
متن کاملDiscussions on Interpretability of Fuzzy Systems using Simple Examples
Two conflicting goals are often involved in the design of fuzzy rule-based systems: Accuracy maximization and interpretability maximization. A number of approaches have been proposed for finding a fuzzy rule-based system with a good accuracy-interpretability tradeoff. Formulation of the accuracy maximization is usually straightforward in each application area of fuzzy rule-based systems such as...
