Abstract In this paper we suggest that Duffley’s sign-based semantics rests on two main claims: a methodological one and an ontological one. The methodological one is the analysis of corpora and the ontological one is ...

Abstract Infiltration of a word’s meaning by world-knowledge is argued to be consistent with the semiological principle. While acknowledging variability in what people know about elephants, there is a common core of wh...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss a family of arguments that show the inconsistency of the concept of omniscience, which is one of the central attributes of the theistic God. We introduce three member of this family: Gr...

Abstract Dung’s argumentation frameworks are formalisms widely used to model interaction among arguments. Although their study has been profusely developed in the field of Artificial Intelligence, it is not common to s...

"Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) comprises tools and algorithms that allow querying multidimensional databases. It is based on the multidimensional model, where data can be seen as a cube, where each cell contains on...

We present a strategy for collaborative reasoning and automatic knowledge sharing in which multiple agents discuss about some piece of information until they reach an agreement. A structured argumentation system (DeLP) i...

Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) occurring in a protein coding gene may disrupt its function in multiple ways. Predicting this disruption has been recognized as an important problem in bioinformatics research. Many tool...

El concepto jurídico de persona se encuentra ampliamente naturalizado como sinónimo de sujeto de derechos y obligaciones, a la par que remite a un antiguo elemento teatral. La carga simbólica de este concepto ha provo...

The latest linguistic research has witnessed a strengthening of the analytical consideration of syntactic semantics, the introduction of functional-semantic approach to determining the specifics of the sentence, its nucl...

Abstract Dreams are universal yet highly idiosyncratic experiences. While memories and personal concerns are known to influence dream content, how such influences evolve over time and how stable individual traits shape d...

Abstract In a recent paper, Manuel Pérez Otero attempted to turn the tables on Paul Boghossian's claim that content externalism is incompatible with the 'a priority of our logical abilities'. In reply, Boghossian argued...

Interpretable data classifiers play a significant role in providing transparency in the decision-making process by ensuring accountability and auditability, enhancing model understanding, and extracting new information t...

Abstract This paper criticises Kevin Toh’s expressivist reconstruction of H. L. A. Hart’s semantics of legal statements on the grounds that two implications of Toh’s reading are arguably too disruptive to Hart’s ...

The paper analyses English sentences with thematic locative subjects. These subjects were detected as translation counterparts of Czech sentenceinitial locative adverbials realized by prepositional phrases with the prepo...

INTRODUCTION. The relevance of the study lies in the examination of the specifics of the Yugra text as a local hypertext, as well as the identification of the features of the mythological consciousness of Yugra writers b...

A map of the state of the art in semantics during the last third years of linguistics in Brazil is presented in the first section. Two case studies, then, are analysed: the debate argumentative semantics and formal seman...

The Semantic Web is a project intended to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving semantics to the content of documents on the Web through the use of ontology definitions. Problems for modelling com...

En la última década la implementación de los sistemas BRMS (Business Rules Management System) viene creciendo a medida que el negocio requiere más flexibilidad y velocidad a la hora de un cambio de reglas de negocio....

Knowledge representation models are very important in the design of intelligent agents because they provide with mechanisms to manage beliefs and their dynamics. In this paper, we propose the use of AnsProlog* as a knowl...

Fil: Falguera, José Luis. Universidade de Santiago de Compostela; España. El término "ontoepistemosemántica" es un neologismo introducido en la literatura filosófica -hasta donde conozco- por C.U. Moulines, con el q...

Disjunctive logic programs have been studied in order to increase expressivity, especially in representing indefinite information. Even though there is no general consensus on any specific semantic for disjunctive logic ...

The SemanticWeb is a project intended to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving semantics to the content of documents on the Web by means of ontology definitions. Ontologies intended for knowledge ...

The operational semantics of defeasible logic programming (justification process) is based on a dialectical analysis of arguments and counterarguments. In [Abramsky, 1997] and [Abramsky(b), 1997], a game semantics is in...

An important challenge when studying the semantics2 of programming languages is understanding the way syntactical constructions in high-level programming languages produce algorithms that are bound to the underlying virt...
