Conversational Alignment With Artificial Intelligence in Context

Philosophical Perspectives, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 89-102, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The development of sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) conversational agents based on large language models raises important questions about the relationship between human norms, values, and practices and AI design and performance. This article explores what it means for AI agents to be conversationally aligned to human communicative ...

Anaphor resolution and the scope of syntactic constraints [PDF]

, 2005
An anaphor resolution algorithm is presented which relies on a combination of strategies for narrowing down and selecting from antecedent sets for re exive pronouns, nonre exive pronouns, and common nouns. The work focuses on syntactic restrictions which

Errant Implicature

Philosophical Perspectives, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 117-152, December 2024.
ABSTRACT To measure is to err. Serving both numeric and non‐numeric measurement, the language of measurement refers to margins of error, within which measurement reports locate their measurements. Such reports and reasoning from them invoke what is known and what is known to be known about error‐strewn measurement to derive and contrast the ...

“Reason” En Masse

Philosophical Perspectives, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 222-236, December 2024.
ABSTRACT We can use “reason,” with its normative sense, as both a count noun (“there is a reason for her to Φ”) and a mass noun (“there is plenty of reason for her to Φ”). How are the count and mass senses of “reason” related? Daniel Fogal argues that the mass sense is fundamental: Just as lights are merely those things that give light and anxieties ...

Seeing the Fictional

Philosophical Perspectives, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 166-179, December 2024.

For instance, it seems obvious that one thing that differentiates Smith, who watches Star Wars, from Bob, who merely reads the novelization of Star Wars, is that Smith, but not Bob, has seen Darth ...

The syntax of Greek split reciprocals

Syntax, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 713-746, December 2024.
Abstract We provide the first detailed description and analysis of the syntax of the understudied Greek split reciprocal reconstruction. As in other languages, the reciprocal appears to be bipartite consisting of a quantificational distributor (‘the one’) and a reciprocator (‘the other’).

Machine-learning-based vs. manually designed approaches to anaphor resolution: the best of two worlds [PDF]

, 2002
In the last years, much effort went into the design of robust anaphor resolution algorithms. Many algorithms are based on antecedent filtering and preference strategies that are manually designed.
