Polysemy is pervasive in natural languages, and affects both content and function words. While deciding which sense is intended on a given occasion of use rarely seems to cause any difficulty for speakers of a language, polysemy has proved notoriously difficult to treat both theoretically and empirically. Some of the questions that have occupied linguists, philosophers and psychologists interes...

Episodic memories are formed from the interpretation of events by semantic knowledge, while semantic knowledge is formed by the accumulation of episodic memories. Through this two-way process, our extensive episodic memory for events in the past co-evolves with our vast knowledge about the world. We present REM-II, a new bayesian account of episodic and semantic memory that explicitly models th...

Most novel noun-noun combinations are polysemous in that they tend to suggest several possible meanings. A finger cup can be a cup in which fingers are washed, a cup shaped like a finger, a narrow cup and so on. In this paper, we present a new theory of concept combination, the constraint theory, that accounts for the polysemy of noun-noun combinations. Constraint theory, which uses three const...

the system we present in this contribution is a sub-part of an extensive natural language processing architecture. It is devoted to a particular phenomenon in natural language : the polysemy of words, which produces effects such as vagueness and fuzziness and impedes the normal automatized processing of sentences. We try to show in this paper how our architecture, currently running on a network...

Through their interaction with search engines, users provide implicit feedback that can be used to extract useful knowledge and improve the quality of the search process. This feedback is encoded in the form of a query log that consists of a sequence of search actions, which contain information about submitted queries, documents viewed, and documents clicked by the users. In this paper, we prop...
