Semantics in action: An electrophysiological study on the use of semantic knowledge for action [PDF]
Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2008 Recent studies have supported close interactions between language and action-related processes, suggesting comparable neural mechanisms. However, relatively little is known about the semantics involved in action planning. The present study investigated the activation of semantic knowledge in meaningful actions by recording event-related potentials ...

Action Semantics in Retrospect [PDF]
, 2009 This paper is a themed account of the action semantics project, which Peter Mosses has led since the 1980s. It explains his motivations for developing action semantics, the inspirations behind its design, and the foundations of action semantics based on unified algebras.

On the semantics of parsing actions [PDF]
Science of Computer Programming, 2013 Parsers, whether constructed by hand or automatically via a parser generator tool, typically need to compute some useful semantic information in addition to the purely syntactic analysis of their input. Semantic actions may be added to parsing code by hand, or the parser generator may have its own syntax for annotating grammar rules with semantic ...

An Action Semantics for ML Concurrency Primitives [PDF]
, 1994 This paper is about the recently-developed framework of action semantics. The pragmatic qualities of action semantic descriptions are particularly good, which encourages their use in industrial-scale applications where semantic descriptions are needed, e.

Metric Semantics and Full Abstractness for Action Refinement and Probabilistic Choice [PDF]
, 2001 This paper provides a case-study in the field of metric semantics for probabilistic programming. Both an operational and a denotational semantics are presented for an abstract process language L_pr, which features action refinement and probabilistic ...

An Action Semantics for MML [PDF]
, 2001 This paper describes an action semantics for UML based on\ud the Meta-Modelling Language (MML) - a precise meta-modelling language\ud designed for developing families of UML languages. Actions are de¯ned\ud as computational procedures with side-e®ects.

Latent Semantic Learning with Structured Sparse Representation for Human Action Recognition [PDF]
, 2011 This paper proposes a novel latent semantic learning method for extracting high-level features (i.e. latent semantics) from a large vocabulary of abundant mid-level features (i.e. visual keywords) with structured sparse representation, which can help to bridge the semantic gap in the challenging task of human action recognition.

Minimizing Entropy and Complexity in Creative Production from Emergent Pragmatics to Action Semantics [PDF]
EntropyNew insights into intractable industrial challenges can be revealed by framing them in terms of natural science. One intractable industrial challenge is that creative production can be much more financially expensive and time consuming than standardized ...

A Finite Representation of Durational Action Timed Automata Semantics
MathematicsDurational action timed automata (daTAs) are state transition systems like timed automata (TAs) that capture information regarding the concurrent execution of actions and their durations using maximality-based semantics.

Comparing Syntactic and Semantic Action Refinement [PDF]
Information and Computation, 1996 AbstractThe semantic definition of action refinement on labelled configuration structures is compared with the notion ofsyntactic substitution, which can be used as another notion of action refinement in a process algebraic setting. The comparison is done by studying a process algebra equipped with sequential composition, parallel composition with an ...
