‎this paper deals with one problem that needs to be addressed in the emerging field known under the name computing with perceptions‎. ‎it is the problem of describing‎, ‎approximately‎, ‎a given fuzzy set in natural‎ ‎language‎. ‎this problem has lately been referred to as the problem of retranslation‎. ‎an approaches to ‎dealing with the retranslation problem is discussed in the paper‎, ‎that ...

We propose a bottom-up variant of Earley deduction. Bottom-up deduction is preferable to top-down deduction because it allows incrementai processing (even for head-driven grammars), it is data-driven, no subsumption check is needed, and preference values attached to lexical items can be used to guide best-first search. We discuss the scanning step for bottom-up Earley deduction and indexing sch...

Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many truly remarkable capabilities. Furthermore, constant progress is being made in improving their performance. But what is not widely recognized is that there is a basic capability which existing search engines do not have: deduction capability – the capability to synthesize an answer to a query by drawing on bodies of information which re...

How is moral knowledge possible? This paper defends the anti-Humean thesis that we can acquire by deduction from wholly non-moral premises. According to Hume’s Law, as it has become known, cannot deduce an ‘ought’ ‘is’, since “altogether inconceivable how this new relation be a others, which are entirely different it” (1739: 3.1.1). explores prospects for inferentialist theory of deductive reje...

One of the most important features of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is their power to model semantics of a certain part of natural language. The results are further elaborated in topics such as computing with words which encompasses computing with fuzzy numbers, the theory of evaluating linguistic expressions as well as that of fuzzy IF-THEN rules and approximate reasoning. In the talk, we w...
