The Regular Post Embedding Problem extended with partial (co)directness is shown decidable. This extends to universal and/or counting versions. It is also shown that combining directness and codirectness in Post Embedding problems leads to undecidability.

In task-oriented dialogues, there is often only one right answer the system can give. However, a lack of variation can seem repetitive and unnatural. Humans change the way they express something, e.g. by being more or less concise. We aim to approximate this ability by automatically varying the level of verbosity and directness of a given system action. In this work, we illustrate how verbosity...

A pointed endofunctor (and in particular a reflector) (R, r) in a category X is direct iff for each morphism f : X→ Y the pullback of Rf against rY exists and the unique fill-in morphism u from X to the pullback is such that Ru is an isomorphism. (This is close to the concept of a simple reflector introduced by Cassidy, Hébert and Kelly in 1985.) We give sufficient conditions for directness, an...

When you have a perceptual experience of a given physical object that object seems to be immediately present to you in a way it never does when you consciously think about or imagine it. Many philosophers have claimed that naı̈ve realism (the view that to perceive is to stand in a primitive relation of acquaintance to the world) can provide a satisfying account of this phenomenological directnes...

The presented work aims at an instrumental method for the assessment of speech-quality of modern telecommunication networks that features two functions: the prediction of a system’s overall speech-quality as well as the analysis of the overall speechquality. The introduced method is based on the estimation of quality dimensions, each describing a particular characteristic relevant for the quali...

Abstract The function of students’ email requests to faculty is both transactional and interactional. Students’ emails are not only sent with the aim receiving some form service but they also need adhere interactional language in order establish maintain social relationships. Therefore, how address their lecturers much directness appropriate performed through this medium, most difficult choices...
