We adapt the cognitively-oriented morphology acquisition model proposed in (Chan 2008) to perform morphological analysis, extending its concept of base-derived relationships to allow multi-step derivations and adding features required for robustness on noisy corpora. This results in a rule-based morphological analyzer which attains an F-score of 58.48% in English and 33.61% in German in the Mor...

In this paper two concepts of psychologism in logic are outlined: the one which Frege and Husserl fought against and the new psychologism, or cognitivism, which underlies a cognitive turn in contemporary logic. Four issues such cognitively oriented logic should be interested in are indicated. They concern: new fields opened for logical analysis, new methods and tools needed to address these fie...

This paper describes a cognitively plausible mechanism for systematically handling complex syntactic constructions within a semantic parser. More specifically, we show how these constructions are handled without a global syntactic grammar or syntactic parse tree representations and without sacrificing the benefits of semantically-oriented parsing. We evaluate the psychological validity of our a...

Although the emotion of anger has, in recent years, been the subject of increasing theoretical analysis, there are relatively few accounts of how interventions designed to reduce problematic anger might be related to cognitively oriented theories of emotion. In this review of the literature we describe how a cognitive-behavioural approach to the treatment of those with anger-related problems mi...

This paper describes the Adaptive Constraint Engine (ACE), an ambitious ongoing research project to support constraint programmers, both human and machine. The program begins with substantial knowledge about constraint satisfaction. The program harnesses a cognitively oriented architecture—FOr the Right Reasons (FORR) to manage search heuristics and to learn new ones. ACE can transfer what it l...

Meta-language utterances, i.e. utterances about other utterances, are ubiquitous in every type of human discourse, from unconstrained multi-party conversations to task-oriented man-machine dialogues. Several examples of meta-language communication are analyzed, identifying the complexities that a cognitively plausible discourse model should address. Meta-language utterances are investigated in ...

This paper presents a proposal for a grammar error typology oriented towards the development of an automatic grammar and style checker. Cognitively– motivated errors have been considered the first and foremost objective. In particular, in the area of grammar checking, the granularity of the error typology greatly influences the adequacy of the error messages shown to the final user during the d...

Developers often find themselves lost as they navigate around large programs, particularly when those programs are unfamiliar. This paper presents a new visualization, called a software terrain map, intended to keep a programmer oriented as she navigates around source code in the editor. The design is based on the metaphor of cartographic maps, which are continuous (no wasted space), have enoug...

This paper describes a cognitively plausible mechanism for systematically handling complex syntactic constructions within a semantic parser. More speciically, we show how these constructions are handled without a global syntactic grammar or syntactic parse tree representations and without sacriicing the beneets of semantically-oriented parsing. We evaluate the psychological validity of our arch...
