This paper describes the integration of a Turkish generation system with the KANT knowledge-based machine translation system to produce a prototype English–Turkish interlingua-based machine translation system. These two independently constructed systems were successfully integrated within a period of two months, through development of a module which maps KANT interlingua expressions to Turkish ...

Kant is well known for his restrictive conception of proper science. In the present paper I will try to explain why Kant adopted this conception. I will identify three core conditions which Kant thinks a proper science must satisfy: systematicity, objective grounding, and apodictic certainty. These conditions conform to conditions codified in the Classical Model of Science. Kant’s infamous clai...

In his teleological antinomy in the Dialectic of the Critique of the Teleological Power of Judgment, Kant presents two competing views of the explanatory power of causal mechanism for a science of origins. Kant expresses both the positive (thesis) view and the negative (antithesis) view in the guise of merely “regulative principles for the reflecting power of judgment”. The regulativity of thes...

Strawson and Kant is a collection of articles originally presented at the Kant Society’s 1999 conference, which was dedicated to Strawson. The articles discuss issues related to Strawson’s interpretation of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, the rise of interest in metaphysics started by Strawson’s Individuals, and key issues in Strawson’s analytic Kantianism. There are also articles in the collec...

In this paper, we describe the design and deployment of KANT Controlled English (KCE) for knowledge-based machine translation in the KANT system. KCE combines three kinds of constraints: constraints on the lexicon; constraints on the complexity of sentences; and the use of generalized markup language. We describe how each of these types of language control are utilized in the implementation of ...

In his famous discussion of the source of our duties concerning anirrals, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant approvingly mentions a series of engravings ( "The Four Stages of Cruelty") by the English artist William Hogarth as exemplifying one of his central contentions. [2] The approach to our duties regarding anirrals advocated by Kant holds that avoiding cruelty is the most fUndamental duty...

We present three examples of the composition of Computer Algebra Systems to illustrate the progress on a composability infrastructure as part of the SCIEnce (Symbolic Computation Infrastructure for Europe) project. One of the major results of the project so far is an OpenMath based protocol called SCSCP (Symbolic Computation Software Composability Protocol). SCSCP enables the various software p...

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has a serious claim to be the single most influential figure in the pre20th century history of cognitive research. His influence continues to be so deep-running that in many respects he is the intellectual grandfather of contemporary cognitive science. Consider the widely-held view that sensory input has to be worked up using concepts or concept-like states, or the con...
