This is the eleventh article in a regular series on object-oriented type theory, aimed specifically at non-theoreticians. In the Theory of Classification, we have so far considered the typeful aspect of classes [1, 2] and their implementation aspect [3, 4] separately. We have been concerned to point out how the notion of classification has a fully formal interpretation [2], in which, at the typ...

The authors report "priming" effects for subjects they classify as "inattentionally blind" and interpret this as evidence for unconscious perception--an interpretation consistent with deeply entrenched metatheory. I question that interpretation, however, on methodological grounds. On these assessment procedures, some subjects could be classified as "inattentionally blind" despite representing t...

Decisions under risk are often multidimensional, where the preferences of the decision maker depend on several attributes. For example, an individual might be concerned about both her level of wealth and the condition of her health. Many times the signs of successive cross derivatives of a utility function play an important role in these models. However, there has not been a simple and intuitiv...

This paper will focus on the geopolitical interpretation of religion in international relations. This dimension has historically related religion to politics and politics among nations. More specifically we will analyze the use of religion as a legitimating instrument of political violence, with special focus on the violence emanating from Islamic extremism and terrorism. History of humanity is...

We present a method for junction detection and semantic interpretation that uses an image and a set of extracted lines as input data. A uniied model is used to work on both tasks. The model allows the handling of ambiguous information in images. Our method is fast since we do only evaluate 1D parts of the image.

In this paper, we evaluate five distinct systems of labelled grammatical dependency against the kind of input we require for semantic interpretation, in particular for the deep semantic interpreter underlying a tutorial dialogue system. We focus on the following linguistic phenomena: passive, control and raising, noun modifiers, and meaningful vs. non-meaningful prepositions. We conclude that n...
