Recent work on conditional reasoning argues that denying the antecedent [DA] and affirming the consequent [AC] are defeasible but cogent patterns of argument, either because they are effective, rational, albeit heuristic applications of Bayesian probability, or because they are licensed by the principle of total evidence. Against this, we show that on any prevailing interpretation of indicative...

This paper presents a set of adaptable summarization components together with well-established evaluation tools, all within the GATE paradigm. The toolkit includes...

In this paper, it is...

The present study investigates the relation betwen the syntactic structure of the text, especialy the noun phrases structure, and the prosodic hierarchy of the uttered text. The analysis covers aspects of prosodic phrasing for short and long noun phrases, with...

Identifying events of a specific type is a challenging task as events in texts are described in numerous and diverse ways. Aiming to resolve high complexities of event descriptions, previous work (Huang and Riloff, 2013) proposes multi-faceted event recognition and a bootstrapping method to automatically acquire both event facet phrases and event expressions from unannotated texts.
