Language models (LMs) are often constructed by building multiple component LMs that are combined using interpolation weights. By tuning these interpolation weights, using either perplexity or discriminative approaches, it is possible to adapt LMs to a particular task. In this work, improved LM adaptation is achieved by introducing context dependent interpolation weights. An important part of th...

We argue that mathematical knowledge is context dependent. Our main argument is that on pain of distorting mathematical practice, one must analyse the notion of having available a proof, which supplies justifi cation in mathematics, in a context dependent way. 'But a proof is sometimes a fuzzy concept, subject to whim and personality.

We consider the problem of embedding knowledge graphs (KGs) into continuous vector spaces. Existing methods can only deal with explicit relationships within each triple, i.e., local connectivity patterns, but cannot handle implicit relationships across different triples, i.e., contextual connectivity patterns. This paper proposes context-dependent KG embedding, a twostage scheme that takes into...

The incorporation of grammatical information into speech recognition systems is often used to increase performance in morphologically rich languages. However, this introduces demands for sufficiently large training corpora and proper methods of using the additional information. In this paper, we present a method for building factored language models that use data obtained by morphosyntactic tag...

Decision support systems may require the use of existing complex mathematical models. It is desirable to reduce the equations of such a model to an explanatory causal form to support decision making. It is argued here that a combination of extracting information from the user and heuristics to reduce the equations to a suitable form are sufficient to produce a reasonable causal explanation from...

Two experiments provided evidence of environmental context-dependent memory using a homophone spelling test (e.g., Jacoby & Witherspoon, 1982), an implicit, indirect measure of memory (Richardson-Klavehn & Bjork, 1988). Context reinstatement significantly increased priming in both experiments. The finding of environmental context reinstatement effects with this implicit memory test and others (...

Based on the premise that what is relevant, consistent, or true may change from context to context, a formal framework of relevance and context is proposed in which contexts are mathematical entities each context has its own language with relevant implication the languages of distinct contexts are connected by embeddings inter-context deduction is supported by bridge rules databases are sets of...

We motivate, formalize and investigate the notions of data quality assessment and data quality query answering as context dependent activities. Contexts for the assessment and usage of a data source at hand are modeled as collections of external databases, that can be materialized or virtual, and mappings within the collections and with the data source at hand. In this way, the context becomes ...
