The dry landscape garden at Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, a UNESCO world heritage site, intrigues hundreds of thousands of visitors every year with its abstract, sparse and seemingly random composition of rocks and moss on an otherwise empty rectangle of raked gravel. Here we apply a model of shape analysis in early visual processing to show that the 'empty' space of the garden is implicitly ...

This thesis presents a model of incremental natural language understanding based on the grammatical formalism known as Combinatory Categorial Grammar. The model constitutes an integrated system involving a cyclical process of parsing, semantic adjudication and filtering. The motivating data for the model are the well-known observations about garden path effects in human sentence processing, and...

With children as target user, modular structure needs have multiple functions while bringing liveliness garden. Mini gardens promote gardening skills rock garden enhanced. Music promotes interest and interactive plays. Picnics gatherings. The passage views perhaps photographic activities.

Results showed decreased processing times for sluices with garden-path antecedents as well as a disadvantage for antecedents with non-canonical word order downstream from the ellipsis site. A post-hoc analysis showed the gar...
